Help... Ipod/sub-stage question.

[Jake Papa 10+ year member]

Just picked up a 06' Mercedes C55 and need a little audio help...

I want to keep the factory HU and speaker amp, but want to run an ipod (preferably not MBs ipod interface) and a sub-stage with after-market amp. I know of some products like the JL cleansweep and Audison BitOne that have ipod inputs (or USB) and still work as a solid OEM interface.

I could care less about keeping my steering wheel controls when I use my ipod. I want the best SQ possible, however Im pretty sure the BitOne is expensive so if the cleansweep will do the job at 1/2 the price, sign me up. Is there any other interfaces I could look into?

So... what is everyones opinion on what i should do? I have the subs/amp already picked out so no need for help on those.

you can use the Peripheral Ipod interface if they have one for you car, also you can use an Audiocontrol Three.1 or Kicker KQ9 that accepts speaker level inputs and controls the sub stage.
