Alpine System
Written By Dale, Summerville SC on Saturday, September 27, 2008

I have the IDA_X001 installed in a 2002 Toyota Tacoma Extend Cab. i installed Alpine 6x9 Speakers front and rear. This system sounds great. My wife has a gen 4 IPOD and i have an earlier gen2, we can plug in both, hers with the high speed cable and mine with the KCE-422i cable. It is great to be able to shift between 2 different IPODS and the high speed connection lets us display the album art on her pod.

I did a lot of research and am completely happy with my choice of this head unit, i can really enjoy my IPOD now!!

Alpine IDA-X001
Written By Kyle, Naperville, IL on Saturday, August 16, 2008

I got this receiver after my window was smashed and my Dual 7" flip up screen was taken. I love it when I use it with my iPod Touch. I got the cable to use it with older iPods as well but when used with older iPods the navigation is much slower and some of the features don't work. This receiver is very user friendly, whenever I have friends in the car they can figure out how to use it in just a few seconds.

I'm giving it a 4 of 5 because sometimes when turned on the iPod needs to be disconnected then reconnected or restarted before it will play. This doesn't happen very often but it can be quite annoying when it does.

Almost what I'm looking for
Written By danoid, Lake Orion MI on Wednesday, August 13, 2008

Let's see here, single DIN - check, mp3 capability - check, shuffle by album - check, no CD mechanism to wear out - check, small screen to see album art thumbs - cool check, KTP-445 Power Pack option for decent output - cool check, storage - well.

All of these iPod control units basically reduce the iPod to a VERY expensive usb hard drive that shouldn't be left in the vehicle for heat and theft reasons. You could connect a large capacity USB drive, but their function is hit or miss.
Oh, and I hate extra cables, that's just more connectors to fail.

Slap the 40 GB drive in there for storage and a front panel USB port to get data into the drive and you would have made a sale.

Very nice (if you have the right cell phone)
Written By Greg, Northern California on Tuesday, August 05, 2008

I was very hesitant in purchasing this unit as my primary use would be the Bluetooth phone kit, and after reading all of the reviews, there seemed to be issues with the Bluetooth kit and certain (maybe all) cell phones.

Here in California, a new law was passed and is now being enforced that reads drivers may not use a cell phone while operating a motor vehicle unless a "hands free" function is in operation (read bluetooth).

After the installation process (Crutchfield makes it sooooo easy), I tested the system with my Treo and found that I could not answer calls using the HU (Head Unit). And even when I answered a call using the Treo, the Bluetooth function was not working. Also, the phonebook (contacts) function in the HU was also not available. However, the HU and Bluetooth unit works flawlessly with the Motorola Razr.

I also have a 5th gen IPOD and it works perfect with the HU. Very nice Alpine. I'd like to give this unit and the Bluetooth kit five stars, but I know not everyone out there has a Motorola cell phone. Just remember, you may return your HU and everything for a full refund! If you'd like to find if your cell phone will work before you purchase and install everything, give Crutchfield a call and talk to one of the advisors. They'll give you the number to Alpine so you can talk to Technical Support. Hopefully they can give you the skinny on your cell phone.

Good for the iPod
Written By John, Riverside, Ca on Friday, August 01, 2008

It is realy good for the iPod, but I have noticed that the radio reception is not that great. Over all I liked it. Please keep in mind there is no CD player.

It is easly seen in full sunlight and the clock and date display is great.
