thanks for the replies guys....i'm kinda leaning towards a pioneer or kenwood head unit, but i hear the pioneer iPod interface sucks.
Alpine and Kenwood both have addon boxes than will allow Ipod control from the headunit, they also charge the IPOD and allow track changes through the Headunit remote control. I have the MP-4028 and it doesnt have native Ipod interface but the interface works flawlessly.
See Jay at AVE for a good deal on the interfaces, tell him Dalton sent you so I get better delas when I go there too
where and what is AVE?
-thanks
