[QUOTE="jdc753, post: 3467331, member: 572078"] Looking to order this unit sometime soon but I have a few questions about the "options" that are available for it. I would like to have some sort of Aux inputs in either 3.5mm headphone style, RCA or USB or all three if possible but I can't tell what is available or what is standard with the unit. Crutchfield lists an aux input as rear and optional, so does the unit come with a standard rear aux input or do I have to get one of the external add ons? Kinda thinking thats what it is seeing how most of alpines things are extras. Has anyone used one of these units with the add on USB input? I would ultimately be looking at adding an external hard drive? Would I be better off just getting an ipod cable and a big ipod? kinda trying to avoid it as I am anti apple, but also was thinking I could use any of the inputs to feed audio from a laptop computer as well. Most of the units I have seen for sale used included a Pac-7 module, I don't really need to watch movies while driving nor do I ever actually plan on watching movies even when parked but I would like to get everything in one shot and installed one shot. I just can't seem to find it for sale anywhere. Is there a special site that I have to order it from? Last question what would be the best place to buy from? Hoping to get all the add on units from the same place in one order as well? [/QUOTE]
