Do any of you guys have experience with this style of headunit (no CD player) and specifcally the IDA-X001? Read some of the comments on crutchfield but they are all over the place from great to horrible - figured if I trusted anybody, it was you guys.
I am looking to upgrade from the current headunit I have in the car, a pioneer unit with an ipod interface connection (which can make searching and scrolling a little slow).
I saw through searching that a member had a similar headunit (x100, I believe) for sale but don't know if many of you have tried any of this style headunit.
And please, save the trouble of telling me I need a double din navigation unit, I don't, and have no desire to put one in my car.
Thanks in advance.

is this one of the digital media players? If not, at least, are the ipod controls fairly intuitive? Also, is alpine sound quality still pretty good?
Thanks for the quck reply.

x-001 and i absolutely LOVE IT! I really like how you can change the color on the headunit from red to blue whenever you want, the ipod controls are pretty much just like the ipod, also the screen is amazing its so nice and clear its simply the best headunit if you dont like cd's... The IDA-x100 i absolutly hate the look of. i think its the ugliest thing ever and it doesnt have the easy to read screen like the x-001 just my opinion though

CD/DVD players are “dead-end" technology. CD’s and their players are only alive because the music industry only understands “vinyl.” You will see these begin disappearing in the near future in favor of an “i-Pod-like” or MP-player structure. Paying $$ for a CD/DVD player is foolish since they are “gone” soon.
