See if you can check the song loading times off the USB stick, some take ages

Blaupunkt have been around long enough and usually have decent quality kit

I bought a £15 FM transmitter that my 2gb memory stick plugs into, and then send the signal over radio frequencies.....sounds good, no interference, and comes with a remote too :D

If i was buying a head-unit, i wouldn't go for blaupunkt....i'd go for sony, alpine or pioneer as they offer better sound quality, and more options/features for making it sound houw you want, i.e. equalisers, pre-outs etc.
