New Stereo, What to get? Options

[amilleri]

So I finally found and bought a 99 celica gt 5spd, yay!

So I want to put a new stereo in since the one currently in it doesn't support anything but a cd player. What should I go with, I'm looking for something with aux input so I can use my phone. I have no clue about what stereos are good or bad, can anyone help me out on a few good differently priced options. Like a cheap, midrange, and high end and the disadvantages of the lower end ones.

Pioneer makes a quality deck, I had a DEH-3000MP receiver. Ran beautifully for years, but it only output 14rms. My current receiver is ~62% more powerful, and for the same price that the old one was purchased for, with more features. A low- and high-pass filter are also useful, especially with a subwoofer. About USB input, some decks have workable interfaces and some are annoying. I have worked with two Kenwood receivers to control an iPod and both are lacking, so if you want to scroll and select through the receiver I'd recommend something other than Kenwood. On mine there is a feature to bypass and control through the iPod instead, which I prefer.
