As an owner of a Honda Civic with a Sony CDX-GT630UI head unit, I am currently using my 3G iPod nano (8 GB) and 4G iPod nano (16 GB) to play in the car using the USB cable connector on the front of the head unit. Question: is the CDX-GT630UI compatible with the current 4G iPod touch and 6G iPod...

If I were talking a budget head unit that works very well with an iPod (especially if you want a decent on-screen display on the head unit!), I'd almost recommend the Sony CDX-GT630UI for around US$160. I've played with one at a store with my new 4G iPod nano (blue case 16 GB) and the...

I actually tried the DEH-P510UB today and while it sounded really good, I still had to reject it. The reason is simple: when I plugged in my new 4G iPod nano (blue case 16 GB) using the Apple-supplied iPod data cable, the DEH-P510UB changed the default configuration of my iPod if you let the...

I just ordered a Sony CDX-GT730UI to be installed on my 1998 Honda Civic coupe. (I almost got the Pioneer DEH-P5100UB but I didn't like the iPod navigation controls as well as the Sony unit.) Since I don't need external amplification (after all, I'm not into hip-hop music ), how well does the...

Don't laugh--I've seen pictures of the direct competitors to the Ford Fiesta in Europe nowadays and most of them have front dash designs that are nothing to write home about.

By the way, I'm now down to two choices: Pioneer DEH-P5100UB or the Sony CDX-GT730UI. Both units are 4G iPod nano compatible provided I use the iPod data cable provided by Apple. (It should be noted I am NOT interested in preamp outs since it will be put into my 1998 Honda Civic, and I am NOT...

Putting in my 2¢: 1) Ford is surviving because they really lucked out in 2006 getting some US$23 billion in new financing for new product development. The result is the much-liked 2009 F150 truck (which I hope will get a clean turbodiesel engine within a few years!) and this very stylish small...

I too am seriously looking for a new head unit to replace my starting-to-fail Sony CDX-S2000 unit. The unit I am seriously considering right now are either the Alpine iDA-X303 or the Pioneer DEH-P6000UB, though I will accept any decent unit with full iPod compatibility (epecially 3G or 4G iPod...

I joining this forum because frankly, my old Sony CDX-S2000 car stereo on my 1998 Honda Civic is starting to break down and I need a new one that is compatible with the iPod nano (3rd and 4th generation models). I'm going to start asking around for one that is reasonably reliable and can...
