Product Search (PLEASE ADVISE!!!)

[eric_a_wellman]

I am new to this subject and need some advice/recommendations. I heard somewhere that there are receivers that have ipod specific inputs as opposed to a generic aux in (stereo mini). I am looking for a simple, reasonably priced(up to $200) unit with: CD, AM/FM Tuner, and the input I mentioned above. If anyone knows where to find this product PLEASE ADVISE!!!

You can get the Kenwood Excelon KDC-X993 off of Ebay through SonicElectronix for $219.99 shipped. If you use Bing Cashback, you'll get 8% back which will put you at $203 shipped. They will also include the wiring harness and a basic installation kit. I've got the X993 and it is great with the Ipod.
