Here are the decks I'd think about in that price range:

And of those I'd probably go with the CDA-9857.

And I would look to a Eclipse CD4000 or CD3000 if I were you.

Top Secret, I can tell you but then my wife will kill me.

If you want full integration and charging you'll have to fork over the cash for this, but if you don't mind using the iPod controls and a seperate car charger (which is what I do), then you can just get this. And you can get both of those cheaper on ebay.

Overall, I like that Alpine has come up with a direct connect cable at a decent price but the downsides are that the deck controls take a while to get used to, there's no way to charge the iPod while it's connected and all of the interfaces I've seen lock the iPod controls while they're connected so that even if you just wanted track information to display on your deck and to use the iPod for control, you can't. That's why I go with the AUX in method.
