See I have many mp3 players and I dont want to have to fumble around in my songs or playlist while driving I rather that I can control the head unit with a remote and go threw my songs on my mp3 player with it. So does anyone know one that is capable of that.

I don't think that is possible. There are ones with USB interfaces, aux inputs (mini jack), and ipod adapters..But I doubt anyone would spend that much time to produce something that can control any player, because of the various firmware and connections.
I bought a pioneer HU that has an aux in and that can control my ipod and will display the info on the HU. That was 200 bucks on sale for the HU and adapter.Builder/Owner of Badass Panther Wagons

Here is the option that no one knows about. A car MP3 player. They are usually based off of a 3.5" IDE HD, and are mounted in the trunk with a wired remote/display that can be installed in the dash parallel to the head unit. Now finding these misterious legends is hard. I found one and it had good reviews but I could not find anywhere to buy it. I need one based off the 3.5" HD because of the size I need. I could install my 200gb into the car and be free of all limitations.

It's called a track ball or a finger pad... :p
Track ball mounted on the steering wheel or finger pad where your right hand rests. Id have it mounted at a 90* angle so I wouldn't even have to move my arm or hand even.
The only hard part would be the installing it to make it look good, but easier for a guy like me to do that than programing something to work like a ps2 toggle switch; if that's even difficult. Actually that seems to be the easiest, but not erginomical unless you can push it in for double clicks and the have another button for the settings/options click.
I don't know...

wow....that's impressive...had to be pretty expensive to have a 60 gig drive 3 years ago. I have an 3 year old philips, and that thing was over 400 and only is a 10 gig....Builder/Owner of Badass Panther Wagons
