I have a Alpine headunit with ipod integration. I hooked it up to my Ipod nano (1st gen) a few years ago, and the nano finally died on me(put it through the washer/dryer accidently 3 years back). Well going without my ipod for a week I needed something to listen to, so I burned my mp3 on to a disc. The bass was amazing coming from the disc vs. the ipod, I looked around and it seems that the ipod kills bass.

Does anyone notice this as well? Or is it my 1st gen nano? Did they fixed this problem yet, because I want to get the touch but don't want the crappy sound?

 

from my friend's experience, his i pod touch doesn't work with his alipne 9886, so i'd think again about getting a touch if you want to use it in your car.

 

i have the first gen nano on my alpine cda 9884 andi works fine good bass as well
you do know that you can change the settings for cd and ipod sepreatly, (or at least i can)
your using full speed right? or just the head phone jack?

 

I have a ipod classic 80gb and i dont have any problems with my bass and im ising a sony deck that a aux. output coming out of the back and its plugged into the headphone jack only till I can get a real deck!!!
