alpine does have a product that you can buy to hook up an ipod.

yeah but wouldn't it be better to have a real hard drive?

for what purpose?

it would be so much easier if oyu could just dump music onto a hard drive and plug it up

Speaking of purpose, why do you have an IVA-D310 and a CDA-9855 in the same car?

I would hate to have to sort through that much music on an external hard drive through a USB port, especially considering how well the KCA-420i works when you don't have it hooked up to a touchscreen...
