Help me find the right head unit

[ConfusedGarage]

Hi all,

Heres my deal. I have a factory monsoon cd I want to replace. I want a headunit that allows me to use my ipod throught the interface, and not an auxil plug in.

Also, I would like something that looks right in my SS interior meaning no silver look.

Who has some pics or suggestions. I have been told to go the alpine route for ipod connectivity, but I havent found one that looks right for my car.

Anyone?Pics are great if you got any!

A guy I know has the alpine in his 02 Trans Am and it looks pretty good. Besides the head unit the only other interior mod is a billet hurst shift knob. So they look good together.

Alpine is the way to go for ipod connectivity. However, i would much rather use RCA connectors anyway. IMO ipod interfaces are a real PITA to navigate, I can find what im looking for 10x faster using the ipod itself. My pioneer headunit allows me to do either or, however with pioneers you gotta get an expensive add-on box instead of just a cheap alpine cable. I feel the only downside to using RCAs is that it doesnt charge the ipod... but mine lasts 3 hours and i rarely drive longer than that.

Alpine or Kenwood have the best ipod interface, and a fairly standard black face.

Everyone has it right so far


Alpine is the way to go for an Fbody!!!!

shows how young you are. They were the sony xplode of the '80s (cheap and sold everywhere with low quality)

Well, Alpine is a good brand. I would recommend Clarion too, they make good equipment. I've got no problems with my Clarion, and it's a few years old now.
