ya...you are wasting money.

the current deck is better and the feature you want is silly. far better to have rear usb because it protects the port from wearing out because you don't use it directly.

Not wasting any money, if I return the deck I have I get an in store credit or my money back. Installs on decks are free right now, so I know it will be done proper, and I get lifetime warranty on it because I bought it with my entire system.
The reason I want a front usb is because friends of mine come into my car and they don't have an iphone 5. So they don't have the same charger as mine. When they want to listen to music on their phone, they can't. And I don't have bluetooth hooked up either because I don't like that.
Given that information, can you find a deck for around the same price that has a front USB port?

Also, Christmas is coming up, I might wait this out then return my old deck for a new double din touchscreen one.
Maybe ask for it as a gift or something along those lines.

So if you know any good quality ones that I can find in Canada, let me know. I would like price range to be about 350-500

you don't hook your main usb wire to the back of the deck. you use a male to female usb wire and run it from the deck to some place in the interior of the car.

http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_74584_Pioneer-AVH-X1600DVD.html good option under $300 for a touch screen.

the previous model of the one above is $60 less http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_63981_Pioneer-AVH-X1500DVD.html

so i would suggest either get the cable i suggested and run it to wherever you put your phone at int he car or wait until you can get a touchscreen because getting a worse radio just for front usb isn't really worth doing.
