Im looking for a budget CD deck (max 150-200)with ipod capabilities. i see that alpine/pioneer/ect make them but havnt been able to find one where i can still use the controls directly from the ipod.


on a side note....for those of yall who use an ipod and use the cd deck to control the ipod....how much of a hassle is this compared to controlling it directly from the ipod?

 

Alpine 9883. Got mine at crutchfield for 200 shipped including the ipod cable, wiring harness and awesome install instructions.
Also the IPOD controls are the best of any manufacturer and it's really easy to navigate. I definitely recommend it.

 

i currently have an ipod connection to the stock hu and i can still use the controls from the ipod directly and love it.

how is navigation using the cd deck compare to navigation using the ipod directly?
