Alpine is where you are looking if you want the Ipod hookup. However, I have owned both an Alpine and an Eclipse and I can honestly say that the Eclipse sounds far better and would nudge you in that direction.

It all depends on what you are looking for though. Eclipse is going to sound better, its newer models have Sirius controls, and they do have an aux input on the back where you can play the sound off any portable, but not control it through the deck. The Alpines do have the capability of controlling the Ipods (I think), have XM, have easier controls in my opinion, and the ergonomics of the Alpine blew Eclipse out of the water.

Its all up to you. You'll be happy with either one. Just the trick is to decide which you'll be happier with.

Thank you for the suggestion, I'll check out Alpine and Eclipse.

Does anyone else have a suggestion?

For the I-Pod from Alpine KCA-420I Allows you to controll the I-pod directly from the HU....

Alpine CDA-9847 Will allow you to use the KCA-420I.....Then Go to XMRadio and purchase the XM Direct connect

hook it all up and you have what you want...You can check out the other HUs at alpine but I think this is the lowest model that will allow for the I-Pod Interface...

Hope this helps...Good luck

Check out Clarion's new DXZ955MC. It uses 24bit D/A converter, has full touch screen control (with colored display this year!) and will hook up to the Clarion iPod adapter to allow you full control. Check it out at:

Retail is set at $899.99, should be able to find it for much less.
