Headunit with ipod connection at the FRONT

Are there any headunits that have a USB port at the front that supports ipod and will charge the ipod?

I found this, http://www.incarexpress.co.uk/view_product.php?partno=KDPDR61 but it looks more like the ipod lead goes around the back and the USB port is just for flash drives.

I just bought that head-unit and fitted it to my car a few days ago

It definitely has the full iPod interface through the front USB port, although I haven't confirmed if it charges it yet, I think it would.
There is a second ipod interface accessory for it that can be plugged into the back (the PD100 I think) but it's not necessary.

I bought a head unit with all the inputs at the front . . . Then sold it again as with anything plugged in it looks a mess and a pain when leaving the car anywhere with a USB key sticking out.

Went for one with a rear input and used the supplied fly-lead to house everything in the glove box out the way of prying eyes. Then it's just a matter of taking the front off the unit when leaving the car and not everything else that is attached first.
