Thoughts anyone? Main concerns would be iPod integration and preserving functionality. It sure would be nice to be able to walk into a shop and be able to compare the two side by side. Any other suggestions on alternatives?

Assistance would be greatly appreciated.

 

I suggest Alpine W205.... Luvin Mine and I got Mainly for the Ipod features. Not sure how the other compares.

 

You can't beat the ipod cable that Alpine uses. Full on-screen searching, and fast.

 

if you don't need the blackbirdII then go with the alping w200 all on sale due to the w205. Nothing has changed really same functions etc. just no internal docking for the blackbird. Alpine ipod integreation hands down the best and fastest.
