iPod ONLY Headunit?

[Gingbeard]

I know a while back, Fusion made a HU that was iPod only, no CD drive, instead, behind the faceplate, was a iPod dock, hiding the iPod from view.

Is there anything like this in the current market? For not too much money <£200?

I'm just so fed up with having the iPod lead hanging out my HU!!

Alpine IDA units are superb. The iPod wire hides in your glovebox, or wherever you want.

And the Alpine units themselves are up to scratch? I've only ever used Kenwood HU's. Are Alpine better?

I'm a sound engineer, I have an alpine IDA head unit and I'm very happy with it.

I've got an Alpine HU with Ipod connection that I've had since my first car over 3 years ago, still works as perfectly as the day I bought it. The Ipod connection feeds through to the glovebox, plug it in, shut the glovebox and control the Ipod via the headunit, top bit of kit.

What is the model of the Alpine head unit you have pleased dude?^^

 

[197-F1]

Try and go for the colour screen version as they look very nice! Either the Ida-x100 or the Ida-x305. As above, I also have one and they are superb!

I have owned many of these, very good, My Alpine X001 is coming up for sale soon so watch out for that.

I've got an IDA X-001 which has been superb, also have the bluetooth unit for it which is good when it works but can be temperamental...

IDA-X305S

Over budget, but worth checking out nonetheless.

I had the IDA-X100. Very good unit. Highly recommended!

Simple and easy to navigate through all of the iPod menus. Can keep the iPod locked away and out of sight.. Perfect!

Regret getting rid now

Do these alpine hu's charge ur ipod/iphone also?

 

[skycap]

Yeah, they will charge your iPod. Newer ones also charge your iPhone.

Alpine are lass kit.

I use a normal CD-unit with an iPod input.
Got a USB and iPod connector in the glovebox, works a treat.

Oh, you can also keep your dash-top display working wqith Alpine stuff too if you get the correct lead, don't know about others.
