aftermarket headunit with RDS?

I want to replace my Ford Focus' factory 6-disc head unit, but I there is one problem. I cannot find a single aftermarket HU with the one feature my factory HU has that I absolutely love. That feature is RDS.

Practically every FM station in my area broadcasts RDS info. The majority of them send song titles. Two of them show weather conditions, forecasts, and weather alerts. Another even broadcasts traffic alerts saying exactlly which street the accident occured on and if on the freeway what mile markers and/or exits it occured between!

However, every headunit I have looked at lacks RDS! While practically all Euro aftermarket headunits from the same manufactuer have RDS. And I can't get a euro market HU because of frequency differences. Unless someone knows of a Euro HU that can be switched to US standard frequencies.....


Does anyone know of headunit from ANY manufactuer with at LEAST the following features?

full or even partial RDS functionality
plays CDs (duh!)
plays mp3s (could care less about WMA)
has AUX input (or the possibility of AUX input with an adapter)
seprate sub control with built in crossover control.
