AVH-P8400BH just died - looking for suggestions on replacing it….

So my P8400BH is about a year old and just died yesterday - no power at all but the fuse seems fine. It's in a 2012 VW Beetle with a Metra Axxess XSVI-9003-NAV adapter and it occurred to me that this could be the cause of the problem. I don't have an easy way of testing the adapter or the head-unit so I'm thinking it might be time for a different head unit.

So what recommendations do folks have for me. My main usage is

- USB attached iTouch for MP3's and AAC files

- USB memory stick with both MP3's and some AVI's for keeping my wife amused as we drive.

- BT for dealing with phone calls

- Occasional FM radio

No need for CD or DVD media, and I have a Garmin Nuvi GPS on the dashboard.

Thoughts?

Thanks!

Sure - just picked up a X8500bhs so the dead P8400bh is available for someone with repair capabilities :-)
