My poor girlfriend has a very crappy factory stereo/speakers in her car (2000 Toyota Echo). For her birthday I'd like to get her a good car stereo and the new iPod nano 5g. Currently she uses a tape-adapter and it's almost sad how bad the whole setup sounds :/ Plus her iPod nano 3g is crapping out...

Anyway, my problem is with finding a good head unit. Here's what I'm looking for it to have:

  • CD Player
  • Audio is sent through sync cable slot, not headphone jack
  • Can charge the nano 5g while in use
  • iPod control (ability to control music through iPod still)
  • Can still shake to shuffle
  • iTunes tagging for radio

I know it's quite a list, but a stereo like that would be so great! Does anybody know of one that will do all that? iTunes tagging would be nice but the main deal-breakers are charging and iPod control (I think this is called passenger mode sometimes). Any help/suggestions would be much appreciated, thanks.
