Alpine's New IPOD specific head unit
Okay, saw this in the Crutchfield big book (very evil, evil book ).
Anyway, it is the Alpine IDA-X001...and it is freakin' sweet!
Crutchfield Linky
Did I also mention it has bluetooth capability?

While I LOVE the screen... I just can't bring myself to pay that much for something without a CD/DVD drive

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.

Yeah, I didn't even notice that this didn't have a CD/DVD drive b/c I was only interested in the IPOD interface/display and bluetooth...guess I was wow'd by the beauty....Mr Kleen wrote:have you seen an isometric view? the giant knob in the center sticks waaaay out.
Eclipse has a new 2xDIN with a detachable TomTom nav unit. it doesn't have an optical media bay either...
(going to move this to the electronic forum)
Yeah, that Eclipse unit is pretty sweet.
There is also the new Blaupunkt head units that do bluetooth and ipod that are fairly cheap and look real nice.
Also, I like the new units that just have a SD card slot for MP3's and such but I am still waiting for a chance to make my $25 ipod interface mod for my stock XT 6-disc HU.
If I could have my wish list:
-DDin Alpine DVD 7" touch panel w/ removal face piece (or false front stealth cover) w/ IPOD interface and bluetooth adapter
-Infinity Kappa components F&R
-Infinity Kappa 10" sub in small sealed box.
-2 alpine digital amps (4 channel and 2 channel)
That would be good enough for me (I know you can get better but that is good on a budget).

i really don't care about cd/dvd anymore. as long as the storage space is big enough im all for the move to digital media. companies like Microsoft are already pushing to do that anyways.
as for the head unit. it does indeed look cool. but it's useless to me since i don't own an ipod. (<3 iRiver) I'm robably the only guy on the face of this earth that is a mac user but wont buy an iPod
