New Radio Alpine IDA-X305

[VX-13]

This is the Mechless Radio which would be good for someone who can live without CD's, great radio for Ipod/Iphone users as well as any other MP3 player.

Expensive??

Expensive??

$250ish is what mine cost which is the same thing but the last years model. I like it and hate it. I like that I can control my IPOD from the deck and that it charges the IPOD. I hate that its not compatible with my IPOD touch (or an IPhone) which makes the audio cut in and out during songs. Sometimes it will play 30 seconds of a song and then start the song over. I also dont like that I can only hook up an IPOD because I like to listen to Pandora radio through my Blackberry.

I will be getting a new deck to replace mine. If Alpine fixed the compatiblity problems, I may consider buying the new deck.

Have you noticed any of these problems VX-13?

you must have one of the older units that runs USB1.0, those wont run an iphone or itouch


to the zune comments, good luck. there havent been any zune capable radios yet, at least for charging and controlling through the radio.

so, either conform, or live with the 'aux' input. i personally have an ipod just for my car.... and currently a touch for daily use (although i wouldnt mind having a zune for daily)

so that way i can keep all my music with me and keep it charged. picked up an old 80g video to LOAD UP and put in the car....

What about any firmware upgrade VXorado ?

Check the alpine web site to se if there's any

VX-13. I just ordered this unit for my VX, should have it tomorrow. Is that a custom background on yours? I thought the manual said you could only use Alpine's backgrounds, downloadable from their site?

Any installation issues with yours? I have a Sony in now and have a wiring harness.
Thanks
