Looking for a new radio, but want one that I can just plug my usb flash drive into, that will play movies on a built in screen or external one. Don;t care is its single or double din. Just let me know cause I can't seem to find one.

My friend has this unit works great we just ran a usb cable from the rear imput then I measured and cut it out into the cd changer delete so you just shove the usb stick into that then it plays music,movies etc from it.

Yes if you look at the page I posted in the media playback tab it lists (DivX® Video Playback from SD Memory Card/USB Device) it has a stick spot on the back and it comes with a cable (atleast his did if not you can buy the cable anywhere) and you just run that wherever and then plug in whatever (usb stick, or a hard drive even if you power it off the car as computers use 12v its easy).It also has a sd slot which is handy.

Here is the cord well one just like it that I measured and mounted so you can just swap sticks.

heres a pic of the back of the unit you can see all the connections it has including usb you can also hook up a backup camera lol.

Take a look on youtube a few people have posted reviews of it.But im pretty sure it will do everything you need and then some hope this helps.

again if you have any other questions lemme know he loves the unit!

also very nice is the Sony MEX-DV1500
but - it needs an extra screen!

i am also looking for something to just plug an external 2.5" HDD.

I have seen some very nice radios with USB and TV screen (i guess it was JVC) that ONLY play mp3 and jpg from USB.
They play everything else from a data dvd - but not from USB.
I mean - how stupid is that???

Hmmm, the Pioneer is too big for me.
I need something single DIN in a decent price range!

EDIT:
Pay attention, even some Pioneer radios play only music from USB.
I was comparing DVH 4100 and DVH 330 because they are in the same price range.
First i really liked the 4100 much more - cause it looks better with the blue keys.
But reading the manual showed me that it will not play video from USB. But the 330 will.
I have no idea about the reasons!
