I have one as well -- an alpine DVD player (mine is the touch-screen one) with my 40GB ipod connected. however, on mine -- the deck does not show all my songs, will refuse to play in shuffle mode, and will not allow me to directly select a song from an album or list (when i try to, it default to the first song from the first album on my ipod). it is VERY frustrating. are you having the same problems? i dont know if it is my deck or the ipod transfer unit that is doing it.

i would ask the shop that installed it, but they gave me the "we dont know the options -- this is the first one we installed" thing. i paid over $1600 for this deal, and I really want it to work correctly.

although i do admit the sound quality rocks. I have my ipod in the center compartment -- how do you have yours mounted? is it just laying there? do you have a bracket under it?

thanks for your help
