i believe all of these have some form of iPod connectivity which is most important to me. all i really need is to be able to hook up my ipod, be able to change tracks forward and back, shuffle all my songs, and charge the iPod when its plugged in. i dont really use playlists or searches by artist and what not.

i also am looking for some nice looking and software (user interface) that looks nice and is easy to use. that said, which of these would you recommend?

Clarion MAX675VD
JVC EXAD KW-AVX706
Kenwood DDX6019
Alpine IVA-W200

the clarion seems to be my fav right now but i hear that i will get noise when hooked up to the ipod. i also dont know much about the software. it does look nice and theoretically should work awesome w/ the ipod.

the JVC and Kenwood i really dont know much about, i heard good reviews but nothing specific, and no real pics of the user interface either.

the Alpine user interface to me is very ugly and i believe is the most expensive. however, i could be convinced otherwise if you all feel the software is unbeatable.

please let me know what you all think!

 

exad for life!
when u need to scan thru songs quick its handy. when u hold the search button it skips a few a few at a time then jumps to the next song begining w/ the next letter in alphabetical older. it kills for the price.

 

also in the JVC camp....
