So they'll ride that pony until their quarter runs out. Can't blame either of them.]]>Jun 28th 2006 10:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/28/alpines-kce-415i-car-interface-for-ipod-video/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/28/alpines-kce-415i-car-interface-for-ipod-video/
I know with a lot of the other iPod video base + remote like the GriffinTechnology TuneCenter and the DLO Home Dock Deluxe you can only navigate the MUSIC menus with the remote and actually have to walk up to the iPod to navigate video menus and select the movie,Tv show you want to watch.

This Alpine unit would be useless if you have to keep the iPod out to navigate through the VIDEO menus ]]>Jun 28th 2006 10:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/28/alpines-kce-415i-car-interface-for-ipod-video/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/28/alpines-kce-415i-car-interface-for-ipod-video/
So you need to make a video playlist before hand of what you want Videos you want to watch and all you can do with the video playlist is Play/Pause/, Skip FW/BW) thats lame

come on Apple, lift that stupid firm ware limit on the video iPods!!! We need to see the Music and VIDEO menus on the screen of what ever we have it hooked up to.]]>Jun 28th 2006 10:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/28/alpines-kce-415i-car-interface-for-ipod-video/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/28/alpines-kce-415i-car-interface-for-ipod-video/Jun 28th 2006 12:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/28/alpines-kce-415i-car-interface-for-ipod-video/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/28/alpines-kce-415i-car-interface-for-ipod-video/
I have yet to see an iPod interface that's worth $100 sold for any aftermarket head-unit. I have a Pioneer which is complete and utter shit. That said, it's still better than the umpteen wrecks Ive been near trying to navigate with the scroll wheel.

My Pioneer only displays the first eight characters of title text and will not scroll unless you navigate to "function 3" and hold the button. At that, it scrolls once. To change repeat/shuffle modes? Yeah, navigate to "function 2" and hold the button. To change the display from track title to album and what not? Navigate to "function 2" and press the button. Terrible.

A friend's Kenwood isn't terrible. It's actually usable as compared, but we're still talking about one line of text to navigate GBs of data. His at least displays all of the playlist names on a list if selected on his touch-lcd.]]>Jun 28th 2006 1:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/28/alpines-kce-415i-car-interface-for-ipod-video/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/28/alpines-kce-415i-car-interface-for-ipod-video/
You didn't like your 9855? Man I freaking love mine! While the 420 was a slow interface, you can't get on their case too harshly since every other deck interface on the market suffered the same problem at the time. They have since remedied that with their new high speed interface, which coincidentally retails for only $30 as apposed to everyone else's $100+. I tried it out at a local dealer and it's super smooth and just as fast as the first model should have been. If it weren't for the fact that I am so in love with my 9855 I'd swap it out in a new york minute. From the biolite display to the high volt (compared to the competition) RCA preouts to the awesome once mastered glide touch controls, it's the best deck I've ever installed.

If you were just running stock speakers off it, you won't appreciate it. But if you have it in an audiophile setup with components and at least one amp you will love it's built in crossover and time delay features. Shit I sound like a fanboy.. whatever, I love my music and it's been good to me.]]>Jun 28th 2006 2:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/28/alpines-kce-415i-car-interface-for-ipod-video/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/28/alpines-kce-415i-car-interface-for-ipod-video/Jun 28th 2006 10:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/28/alpines-kce-415i-car-interface-for-ipod-video/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/28/alpines-kce-415i-car-interface-for-ipod-video/Jun 29th 2006 1:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/28/alpines-kce-415i-car-interface-for-ipod-video/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/28/alpines-kce-415i-car-interface-for-ipod-video/
