[QUOTE="cyantist, post: 1832770, member: 552254"] I have some experience on this topic.. I have an Alpine iPod adapter and I think it makes my iPod sound pretty good, and it's easy to control on my current deck.. But I also had an Alpine 9855 recently and it was just about impossible to use, enough so that I ripped it out and got rid of it in a fit of rage!! Selecting certain songs is still tedious, but mostly I just hit random anyways, since seeking out one song out of approx 4000 is a pain.. I also once used an aux-in adapter, and while it was easier to select a particular song, fumbling with the iPod while driving just wasn't my thing.. Touchscreen LCD panels make it a LOT easier.. The Omnifi DMP-1 was also a little too buggy for me, and I didn't like the looks of the faceplate and had no practical place to mount it.. But when it worked, it worked well.. My laptop also did the trick, but was a bit cumbersome to use and pack around with me.. So far I have to say an iPod with a compatible deck/interface is the most elegant solution.. As for sound quality, well, I can't tell the difference between my iPod and a MP3 CD/DVD..... Alpine is also coming out with a USB interface, but I haven't gotten my hands on one yet so I can't tell you how well it works.. I have one on order from my dealer.. [/QUOTE]
