it does, i dont have an ipod but just from experience i can tell you that the ipod + pioneer combo is very easy to use!

It is indeed very easy to you. But it is kinda slow. I have both and i mainly use the ipod.

the 9856 has the best ipod interface, however the extra processing features of the 880 make it worth it. i just sold my 9856 and kca-422i and am waiting on my 880. imo what you gain in processing is worth the slower ipod interface.

How do you do that? Is there a cable that goes into the i-pod and then has rca's on the other end?

well you need to get a mini-jack to rca adapter. it'll plug into your headphone jack and you'll control the music through your ipod and not the headunit
