Alpine are working on a box to connect Apple's iPod to their HU's which will control everything on the iPod - including track selection, etc. This means the iPod can be locked away out of sight in the trunk or somewhere, reducing clutter in cabin as well. I might have to get one if it works!
I have a Kenwood MPV7019 head unit. One of the best mods I've done on the car. I can literally play every album by Stone Temple Pilots on one CD. You can't go wrong with a headunit that plays MP3's. You can seperate each album by folder name, and even have subfolders within main folders. Also, the unit will display the track name and album name when the music is playing.
