then get a better head unit that will hold more text display or has a bigger screen. But going the route of the alpine deck with the ipod adapter is the best route. Considering your IPOD stays charging while its plugged into that IPOD adapter. Its so clean to, you dont have to touch the ipod at all, you can completely hide it in the car and still be able to change your folders and songs right on the cd player. We sell so many of those alpine decks at work, its not even funny. But that new deck you are lookin at is real nice.
