Reviewed on April 24, 2007The made-for-iPod Alpine iDA-X001 is a useful interface for bringing a digital-music library on the road. We like its stylish design and breadth of functions, although its user interface falls behind that of the iPod itself.TAGS:Alpine, car stereo, Apple iPod, USB, radio, Bluetooth, connection, CD, music, MP3
Reviewed on June 6, 2007The impressive iLuv i199 provides a dizzying array of features--including iPod compatibility, CD player, AM/FM clock radio--you'll be hard-pressed to find on any other tabletop audio systems at this price.TAGS:iPod dock, Apple iPod, alarm, Bluetooth, CD Player, USB port, CD, audio, radio, WMA, USB, MP3, LCD, video
Reviewed on July 10, 2006With its wide selection of media source inputs, the Jensen VM9511TS is a high-water mark for aftermarket stereo head units. Its separate media module takes up a lot of space, and at $800, it's pricey for an off-the-shelf system. Still, it blows factory-installed options out of the water in terms of value.TAGS:Jensen, touch screen, AudioVox, Apple iPod, joystick, CD, speakers, WMA, MP3, MP3 player, connection, LCD, DVD, video
Reviewed on October 10, 2007Sony's CDX-GT420IP is an affordable means of taking your iPod library on the road. While its basic user interface lacks the search functionality of some other systems, this is a competitively priced and decent sounding entry-level stereo for the digital-audio age.TAGS:album, Apple iPod, Sony Corp., connectivity, song, display, artist, MP3, button, WMA, CD
Reviewed on July 13, 2007The JVC KD-PDR30 looks and sounds good, and its standard iPod connectivity will endear it to those looking to take their iTunes on the road. However, its lack of a decent search mechanism for navigating large iPod lists means that it fails one of its primary usability functions.TAGS:JVC, stereo, Apple iPod, D-Pad, connector, Apple iPhone, CD, LCD, button, MP3
