It's a '98 model, & is Ai-Net... not M-bus. I used my friends Alpine KCA-420i (compatible w/ '04-up Alpine Ai-Net receivers) & it charged my iPod, as well as played it through the h/u (controlling w/ the iPod)....however, I only got sound out of the right side. Doesn't have to charge the iPod, just play it w/ my CDA-7837 (I prefer using the iPod vs controlling w/ the h/u...so that's fine) Alpine, Crutchfield, & all the local car stereo shops say the only way is via an fm transmitter, I agree to disagree. I know I can easily get a different h/u, but I really want to keep this h/u because....... It's near mint, has a simple-clean display, great cd SQ, & I'm doing an old school build in my Jeep. I already have an old school Alpine 1/2 din EQ & a PPI Art 3-way x-over....so the simplicity of this h/u is exactly what I need, all that's missing is the iPod.
