Alpine IVA options and sugestions

[ArmstrongPerf]

Hello I just bought an Alpine IVA-D901 off ebay, and have some questions... I want to use my ipod with my new head unit, but I cant find any cords that will work with the older hu that I have. I was using a dock with a fm modulator and want to be rid of that junk. It sounded like crap and I always had to change the station. I need something that will hide my ipod and charge it while I use it.

I also have a XM tuner that I would like get off my dash. I am looking for an attachment that Alpine might make so I can control my XM on the hu itself.

I want to add Bluetooth as well. I was looking at the Alpine ex-10 to take care of my Ipod/Bluetooth dilemma, has anyone had any experience with this product? I plan on hooking the sound up through my aux ports instead on the fm mod, if there is a better way please let me know.

I will be installing monitors in my headrests as well, but I am kind if stuck between a cheaper 7" like XO vision or just getting the Alpine PKG M780 which comes with two of there monitors, brain, and wireless headphones. BTW the headphones will never get used anyway so they are not a selling point for me. How is the clarity of the cheaper screens?

As for a backup camera where to a start? I have seen them for $100.... are the cheaper ones poor viewing quality? What is a good brand/model?

Speakers... I want to go to all JL Audio components, but I want a discontinued set. I think they were 650xxx? They came with two 6.5s, 3.5s, and tweeters with crossovers and all. JL doesn't make that set anymore, so is there still a way to get them, or is there a different brand of good quality that has the same size speakers? I want to put the 3.5s in the dash, and the 6.5s in the doors as there are spots for them already.

Thanks for the help!

That deck is like 5 years old, only way your hooking an ipod up to that is through some aux cable.

OK.... how about the speakers, monitors, back-up camera, XM tuner, and ex-10?

Anyone?
