sweet. I would buy a new 2005 even though i have a 9835 if the ipod adapter worked better/faster.

yeah. i understand that.
i heard that 04 units have issues of speed/ key functions with ipod since 04 units are not designed for it but they said 05 units will be the first "fullly" integrated (and designed) units with ipod.

lets finger crossed.

by the way, if anyone wants to see a bigger pictures of a few new headunits, go to crutchfield.com they have some new units' detail pictures.

Still waiting to see if they add on a double din,, that would be awesome!

looks like they phased out the dvd changer and HDD player.

I am glad they added a din center channel speaker.

I don't see any new in dash screens touch screens. Are you referring to the D301? Any idea when this is comming out? I thought it was already out

DVA-9965.
it's just regular single din unit but if you look at carefully, it support dvd and has touch screen icon in the descriptions.
so i guess if you connect touchscreen and put dvd movie, this unit will let you use touch screen to control dvd...

Having played with the 2005 units at CES, I have to call BS on this. The 2005's did not appear to be any different or faster when using an iPod. There are other issues that may have been fixed, but speed does not appear to be one of them. And that goes for ALL manufacturers releasing iPod compatible decks.
