Re: alpine for ipod!!!!
The question is whether this be compatible with either of the stock sound systems in the g35's and will we be able to control it through the steering wheel. If it does work, I'm definetly buying this for my blue mini ipod.

Re: alpine for ipod!!!!
uhhh.....did you even read what the guy wrote?
This thing is simply an adapter that works with any late model Alpine headunit... which is why he said he has to get the double-din dash kit... basically it will emulate a cd-changer, which is what typically would be plugged into a headunit's data-port (Alpine calls theirs Ai-Net)

Re: alpine for ipod!!!!
It's a badly written sentence but I think it means the compressed digital formats like MP3 can sound almost as good as full CD quality.

Re: alpine for ipod!!!!
Well, I'm actually gettin an Ipod for free soon. What I would wonder is whether or not this thing would have a passthrough to support both Ipod + Alpine AiNET Mp3 Changer (though I wouldn't have much need for them both, but in case I would forget my ipod at home) this would make sense to get whenever I do finally decide to do the radio swap.

Re: alpine for ipod!!!!
those things usually do have pass-throughs, at least the Pioneer IP-BUS does... you can connect many sources in daisy-chain form...

Re: alpine for ipod!!!!
You couldn't be further from the truth. The software that plays back the music should have little to no bearing on the sound quality. What will affect the sound quality is sampling rate and stereo mode. Anything below 128 kbit will sound like ***, as well as anything encoded with Joint Stereo mode. More than likely, if encoded with Joint Stereo, it will sound more washy than full stereo mode.
