i got a kenwood exelon deck with ipod hook up. i use the deck to control it, but its kinda hard to navigate around in the ipod with it.

my deck can play mp3/m4a/aac/pdf/jpg whatevers files so i like to make cds with plenny folders...works better for me.

i got my deck and the ipod hook up from special t tinting ...the stereo shop in there.

i got this infrared thingy that lets me use my drivers side dash controls from there too. works pretty good.

 

i have an Alpine ( i want to say 9815) not sure, but it was a 2003 model. Went to radio shack and got an AUX Cable and my IPOD works great. I have to control the Ipod through the Ipod, not through the head unit.

thats my cheap solution =)

 

sorry to bring this back from the dead but whats wrong with the best buy adapters? i was thinking about upgrading my deck too.

 

Best buy adaptors tend to be slow when trying to browse music and they're a bit buggy. Alpine has iPod interfacing down to a science. You can get one of their regular head units with a high speed iPod interface cable, or you can get the IDA-X001 which is a head unit dedicated to iPod use.

If I still had the S2000 I would go with this deck because I don't use CD's anymore, but I have room in the NSX for a double din unit so I'm going with the IVA-W205.

 

OMG THAT HEAD UNIT LOOKS CRAZY!

 

sorry I thought u were referring to the adapter for the dash mounts audio controls. Anyone try those from best buy?

 

Yup, not too crazy spending $400-plus on HU that I'll probably rarely use. On short drives, I like the sound of the S. How much for this BB solution? If it's cheap I'll try it. I'm hardly an audiophile. I listen to talk radio most of the time-- my IPOD on longer drives when I can't seem to receive anything at certain parts of this Island.
