Ipod headunits

[hydeyho]

What would everyone recommend as to which headunit to get to link with my Ipod? I would prefer an Alpine unit cus of their quality, but also the fact that I can get the extra control unit to control the Ipod from my headunit. I would consider other stereos though. Has anybody had any experience with linking their ipod to a headunit? Links to sites would be great for prices.

my pioneer links to an ipod and controls all its functions and displays track info and id3 tags etc etc

Got the alpine 9831r and ipod interface, its a quality product.

only other option is the denison link and aftermarket stereo.

the ipod interface actually enhances the sounds coming from the ipod so the quality is better than other links.

Best thing i have bought for the ipod and works for at least 10 metres away, good if there is a group of you!

Has anyone else got one of these?

the quality of fm transmitters is poo, same as listening to the radio.

the best quality is the alpine by far

get any pioneer headunit and then buy a cable for £20 and use the aux in

Dension IceLink is compatible with the Standard "tuner list" radio in some clios

its a lead that connects the Ipod to the CD changer port of the head unit and then the head unit controls the ipod like a multichanger

been looking into these lately looks great - gonna get one for my car (and an ipod too) - best thing is you dont have to change the look of the interior
