Is this a decent HU for the S? If so, what would be a good price? I cannot access ebay from work.
TIA,
Tom

Alpine is known for a harsh sound in the 3-5kHz freq range.
Personally, I'd go for a Pioneer Premier or Eclipse HU as the sound is much more clean. But, that's apparently a personal preference held by a very small minority in the forums...

Mainly I'm just looking for an HU that can connect to my iPod and perhaps have a bit better sound over stock. Everywhere I read here, I hear, 'Upgrade the HU before the speakers' so that is advice I'm going to follow.
Perhaps I should have led with I'm not an audiophile.
There is a seller on another car forum that is selling one for $140 but he doesn't appear to have any takers. Would $80 be a fair offer for this HU? He has the box so I feel the seller is legit, btw.

I still say go for Pioneer or Eclipse. Not because I'm an audiophile, but b/c I know from personal experience (and have friends that know) that Alpine HUs are incredibly harsh on long (and even short ones) road trips.

by tunability, do you mean being to adjust the lows, mids, and highs independently or am I not understanding what you mean by tunability?
