Price: $160.00
Pros: Works perfectly with my Iphone. Has multiple selections to adjust everything you can think of just like every other cd player out there.
Cons: Requires a 150.00 option to add bluetooth... however, after careful consideration... I dont believe a TJ would be quiet enough to not have massive background noise on the microphone. So... not that big of a deal.
Recommended? Yes

Comments: I actually purchased the Apline IDA-X305S which is a couple upgrades up from whatever I selected here as they didnt have this option. Its a good head unit... has all the options i wanted and sounds pretty damn good. Looks good in the Jeep as well. The giant rotational dial in the middle operates everything from the volume to selecting a radio station pre-set to scrolling through my Itunes. Its good.

Price: $359.00
Pros: i have the idax-305 that came out last winter 09

Comments: IDA-X303
I really have a alpine IDA-X303 i-pod and radio only. and it is sick. easy control and since it's hoked to an i-pod i can get music anywhere even 4 wheeling and it's not scratchy or skips even with big bumps

Price: $150.00
Pros: iPhone integration. 3 sets of RCA outputs on the back, front, rear, and sub. Looks Awesome. Easy to use and figure out. Bright LED display. Great sound quality.
Cons: Scrolling is really slow. No CD player. iPhone skips A LOT, restarts song, or just stops playing completely. But i can live with it because it is probably my iPhone doing it and not the deck.

Cons: IPod Touch problem with audio dropping out.
Recommended? No

Comments: I bought this deck due to recieving a 2nd Gen IPod Touch 16Gig for Christmas. Soon as I got it installed I noticed that after about 15 mins the audio would drop out during the song for about a half a second. After the first skip it would happen every 1 min 50 secs after that no matter the song.

Was really disappointed due to the fact that it is supposed to work with Ipod's. Customer Support was horrible.. they wouldnt admit that they have an issue with the Touch. Dealer swapped me to an Alpine iDA-X303 and the same thing happened.

Dealer ended up letting me exchange it for a different brand and had no issues after that.


Bottom Line. Don't buy this deck if you use a Touch as your primary source for your audio library.
