Ipod 4th Gen. Obsolete or still kickin?

you'll deff be able to se at night.

i would say go for an ipod setup with the head unit. i myself don't carry any CD's in my car. i have a 30gb 5th gen and i pretty much filled it up the day i got it. when i first had the option of using my ipod in my car with a pioneer unit it was great. no more skipping, no more cd clutter. only downfall with that unit was no ipod control.

with my 9887 now i get the ipod control on the unit. much better.

funny thing is i'm so accustomed to the ipod as my audio source that if a friend brings in a cd and it skips cause of the pressue i'm always like WTF!!

 
You will regret not being able to control it through the HU. My last Double DIN pioneer had awesome iPod control, now with the new car I'm using the aux hook-up. I hate not being able to use the factory touch-screen, and having to look down to scroll through all the time.

My first iPod was the gen before that one, I think. It has the wheel and four buttons above it

 
Why not just get a nano?

I never really cared to get an ipod either. But I got a nano last year and a headunit that controls the ipod. The cable runs back into my glovebox, so the people who think its "so gay" that you have "that little gay ipod nano" will never see it. And if they do, they usually end up not caring because they think it is cool how it sits in the glovebox.

 
because scrolling through hundreds/thousands of songs on a 2" screen while needing to hold it in one hand and drive with the other is a bitch
Well I only have like 100 songs i listen to, and just make playlists, I onyl change the song when Im showing off my setup to someone, other than that it just plays and plays and plays

if thats the case just get a cheap 2gb nano or something, would only cost you $15-20

or just buy any mp3 and use the aux inputs on the receiver

i would only get an ipod if you want to control it through the receiver, mainly because dealing with itunes and all the other crappy apple software isnt worth it unless you have to use it

 
As long as the battery still is good, I don't see what would keep it from working.
I agree. Why do you not want to buy a new one or a newer one? Just do not want to admit you will like it? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

I dont have AUX input on my deck, and this 20 gig is $40 canadian, shits more expensive up here

Im fairly broke livingon my own now, why waste the money, I just want the no skipping factor. The extra $200 it would cost to get a new one, is 2 weeks worth of food for me!!

 
I couldnt deal with a ipod in the glovebox either, shits going in the 1/2 pocket right under the HU, why would you put it out of your easy reach
because i can control volume/song selection/everything from the head unit? you actually cant even use the ipod by touching it when its plugged in. works well when chicks open up the glove box to change the song and wonder why the **** they can't do it
