This is one of the best headunits that u can buy. It is very easy to control your ipod and it is a very fast connection. Amazing sound and picture quality and is very easy to use. Has every option you can think of. Alpine is the way to go. Don't buy any cheap brands. This is by far one of the best double din screen you can buy. I would recommend it for anyone.

compared to most other brand receivers i belive the display quailty is disgusting, and the additional ipod video interface refuses to display the full color in addtion to not working with the newer series of ipods, but sound wise its decent, the pulse touch feature feels and sounds cheap, and eq adjustments could of been more defined, but for the price, not to bad

The best Alpine in dash unit yet! Just waiting for Blackbird B200 to finish it off! Simple, clean installation in my 2006 F350 with Sirius tuner! Added Alpine surround amplifier, Alpine center channel speaker, Alpine R speakers front and rear, Alpine dual headrest monitors and MTX Thunderform subwoofer/amplifier! Alpine IVA-W205 is the perfect center piece for my system, everything fits like factory and sounds and looks amazing!
