i kind of want a 4gig nano for the size or a video ipod.. if the sale doesnt go through, ill message you

you could put your hard earned money to something so much better! (mp3 player wise that is)

 

check out the alpine cda-9857. Lets you connect the ipod right to the unit. Alpine-usa.com

 

ill be purchasing that headunit tomorrow to complete my setup
just got my hands on an ipod nano. gonna be greatttttt

 

Damn, we don't have the 9857's yet. Curious to see pioneer's new interface though, their rep said its supposed to be awesome

But of course, he would say that

now that you mention it.. no one i know, not even my store that i buy from has the new alpine units yet.
so since im impatient.. and looked up on pioneer.. i am buying the Pioneer DEH-6800MP tomorrow with direct ipod hookup instead

 

Both the pioneer and the alpine ipod interfaces will be better this year. They made a few updates to the software to make them flow even smoother and easier than before. It is still not a fully direct connection though. Alpine uses a single cable(no more bulky box thing) and I havent seen Pioneer's yet, but probably gonna be the same idea. The new cables will work with the new decks and the old cables will work with the old decks, they will not be interchangable because they use different software to read from the ipod. The CDA-9857 will be a nice deck and I myself have already presold a few of them. The new ipod connectors will be better and in my personal opinion, you should have waited.

 

Does anyone know when the alpine cda-9857 is going to come out? The website says March but I have to see anyone carry it.

 

Alpines new lines start showing up at stores around mid March and all the new line is in, [at our stores anyway] by mid April. 94
