As a true child of the Digital Age, the Alpine iDA-X001 in-car device doesn't even come with a CD slot. The in-dash system is for those who want to take their iPods on the road. Its digital USB connection enables playback of compressed and lossless files and displays iPod album art via its full color screen. The Alpine iDA-X001 was designed with input from Apple, and so its iPod navigation menu system is intuitive and easy to understand.
