Good head unit for a car?

[Nocturnal]

I like Alpine but man they don't get great reviews. I was wondering if anyone could recommend something that is user friendly that will play MP3s and also dock my iPod if I wanted to.

Thanks!

Im sure you will get some decent responses from audio people here, but might want to try The Garage forum for a head unit unless you already tried?

I personally know alot about home audio, but couldn't tell you the next thing about car audio My roommate has done a good amount of work on the system in his car though and I know he likes Pioneer and Panasonic heads.

Use Crutchfield to get the list of receivers with ipod controls. Here's one of Alpine's, looks very nice to me:

And virtually all receivers play MP3s now, that's a given on anything you buy.
