Most Alpine units are extremely good, with a bespoke full speed interface made esp for the iPod!

I had an alpine in my last car and that was top notch
Couldn't find a double din one I think?
May have to have another look at them

Either way you'll need a crazy dash adaptor, I would go for what you really want and not worry too much about the form factor of the unit.

I have replaced the dash from the 3 tier
Decided touch screen ones although look good cost too much for what they are
Plus spend the money on ones with buttons and get better sound
So many just say everything is optional with this and that cable!!

I had one of these units for a while, the DON of touch screens with a full speed iPod interface, bluetooth, USB and SD card slot: http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/store...tegoryId_165553

Im sure that one ST06 linked to was on there, remember the pictures on it.
Staggering prices though, ive got the MP3 unit in my car and im fine with that.

None of the alpine units have bluetooth installed and its £100+ to add it on
