Dude, that looks SO nice! Wicked, really. Yeah, I see that your Alpine has the xm receiver built in. But it doesn't have an auxiliary input jack for an ipod or any other form of audio. I must admit though, it looks kick ***. Does it sound good?

I read about those electrical problems with those other "ipod conversion" kits. But those were supposedly replaced back in the beginning of '06 and never made again. In any event, I'm crossing my fingers here....:-)

Hey, Mike....your setup kinda makes me wish I had gone another way....I really like the sound system stock, but it could use a bit more umph, if you know what I mean. Not much, but just enough that I can feel my insides vibrating with the bass....lol. But in the end, I have something you don't: 6-CD changer! (which bites...no, man, i really like your system!) LOL

Very valid point on the 6 disc. However, for me, it was not big deal, as I spend about 98 percent of my time on XM. That's the same reason I don't have a concern on the iPod connection as well.....

Make sure you let us know how the install goes.

Mike, just out of curiosity...When you got the Crutchfield kit for your radio, was it pretty much plug n' play? I'm considering one of the JVC double DIN radios that they've got in conjunction with the add on XM radio because the cheap stock radio I've got sucks. I've pretty much decided that if I'm going to get it, it'll come through Crutchfield because of their support on installation; everyone says they're A+.

You power up the unit and hold down buttons 1 and 6. You will start to see speaker information flash on the read out. Then just push button 6. A code number is displayed. As I was doing this I started to wonder what other things can I find out by knowing how to produce codes on the unit.
