            Alpines new head decks along with there ipod connector looks like a pretty sweet setup. The head unit has a strip that it uses that lets you scroll through your ipods music selection.

              I have heard nothing but good things about Icelink.

              I am planning on having one installed soon.

                        For a head unit I'd go Alpine. Great sound, good menu navigation for setup and as someone else had just mentioned, great integration with the iPod. Throw it in the glove box and have it all displayed on the deck.

                        I'm not sure on speakers, my factories are still going strong.

                          Re: IPOD Car Kit

                          I finally got smart and "ipodded" my car, even though I've had everything I needed to do it for like 2 years. My stereo (after market) has auxillury-in RCA jacks in the back that I just discovered last week by looking in the manual. Luckily I had an RCA-to-headphone cable laying around, so by pulling the stereo out and using a drill I made a little hole in the compartment above to wire the cable through and now it's a great setup.

                          You should see if your stereo has something similar to RCA-In or Line-In on the back so all you would have to do for the setup would be to get a cable, some time and some elbow grease.

The chances are that he is learning something about humility and his natural human foolishness, about how to survive himself.

                            ^^^many do nowadays as that 2nd 'put...the thing is that either one doesn't know, or when installed, the hookup isn't readily made available/accessible.

                            Mine even has one (Pioneer MP3 CD/XM stereo), which would be cool, for like a MiniDisc player or laptop, or something like that...

                              ^^^ Well if somebody wants an ipod in their car so much they'd be willing to figure out how to wire it up in the back.

                              It really isn't that hard even if you don't have the manual to your stereo. If you know what model the stereo is, just Google it and you can probably find the manual online. The manual should have instructions on how to install/uninstall (slide in/slide out) the stereo from the slot so you can get to the back of it where the input jacks are (mine did).

                              Of course you could always get some "professional" to do something like that for lots of money, or go with the lower sound quality of the iTrip.


                              On that second point there, I love having the RCA-to-headphone cable because, like you said, you can hook up anything from an oldschool cassette Walkman to a laptop to your car stereo if you so desire. That makes me even more proud of my handywork.
