I would get a sony gt series before I got the insignia... just me though. The alpine 9856 is a decent choice at 200 dollars plus the 30 dollar ipod adapter. Thats 230 for an ipod compatible unit that sound pretty good and has a very fast ipod connection.
She has a tape to aux adapter now but I would rather her be able to control the Ipod through the radio. My biggest concern here is her safety, not SQ. If this was for my car I know what I would get, but she's 16, she doesn't care about all that, she's happy with what she has now...
Thanks for all the advise.
Anyone use the Panasonic unit, a few friends have recommended it as well.
