Reviewed on December 18, 2008The Alpine iDA-X100 is a great receiver for people who transport all of their music on an iPod or MP3 player. The unit offers fantastic digital-audio integration without the need for a separate adapter, but should you ever want to just play a CD, you'll be out of luck.TAGS:Alpine, digital audio, LCD screen, receiver, MP3, song, LCD, menu, button, Apple iPod, CD, USB
Reviewed on March 22, 2007The Clarion DFZ675MC can support an impressive array of audio sources, including SD cards. We like how it sounds and the number of options it has for optimizing acoustic output, but we're less impressed with its unintuitive interface.TAGS:SD card, digital audio, WMA, car stereo, slot, MP3, function, button, CD
Reviewed on November 1, 2006The Dual XDVD8182 is a multimedia receiver that will be liked by movie lovers but less welcomed by audiophiles due to its cumbersome iPod interface and lack of satellite radio capability.TAGS:touch screen, Apple iPod, ID3-Tag, track, programming, button, WMA, MP3, movie, CD, video
Reviewed on June 5, 2007If you're looking for a decent in-dash GPS navigation system that can support digital audio and video, then the Kenwood DDX8019 could be the product for you. If GPS navigation isn't your first priority, however, there are more user-friendly media players on the market.TAGS:Kenwood, GPS navigation, touch screen, ID3-Tag, GPS, digital audio, button, menu, video, folder, MP3, CD, DVD
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, artist, song, display, Sony Corp., WMA, button, MP3, CD
Reviewed on June 5, 2008The 2008 Toyota 4Runner works as a solid and rugged SUV, but the attempt to tech it up with an integrated portable navigation device is a kludge. The idea isn't bad, though, and we would like to see the next version of this system.TAGS:TomTom, dashboard, touch screen, car, music, MP3, USB flash drive, button, CD, speakers
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, D-Pad, stereo, Apple iPod, Apple iPhone, button, LCD, MP3, CD
Reviewed on November 2, 2006Not the most practical car, the 2006 Volvo C70 looks very stylish with the top down or up, and its audio system is among the best we've heard. The navigation system isn't a very worthwhile option, since it usually can't be seen because of glare, and this car is not for the driving enthusiast.TAGS:Volvo, trunk, stereo, seat, car, motion, subwoofer, key, button, speakers, MP3, CD
