just wondering on the alpine head units that are ipod ready, mainly the 9855 i can controll the ipod from the head unit, right?

 

You have to get alpine's interface unit, but yes, ultimately you can control the ipod from the HU. A bunch of the model year 2004 units do this was well - 9833, 9835...

 

cool thanks, i was not too sure how this worked.

 

if u get an alpine that is ipod ready, do u have to use an ipod or can u just use it as a normal cd/mp3 player?

 

U can use its built in cd/mp3 player, OR use the optional ipod hook up if you buy the ipod adapter

 

alright, sweet. i just wasnt sure.

ill be buying my HU soon then

 

man every one is getting this nice

 

Group Buy?
