iDA-X305S - Alpine In-Dash MP3/WMA/AAC Receiver with USB Cable for Total iPod and iPhone Integration Reviews
| 24 of 28 people found the following review helpful  Saying goodbye to CDs!!, By This review is from: iDA-X305S - Alpine In-Dash MP3/WMA/AAC Receiver with USB Cable for Total iPod and iPhone Integration (Electronics) Aside from buying my music on disc, as I like having a hardcopy backup, I will no longer be using CD's thanks to this head unit. First off, it works fantastically with my iPhone 3GS, which I assume almost everyone buying this head unit will also have (or an iPod at minimum). Plug in the iPhone and it recognizes the entire library in about 3 seconds (I believe the older IDA-X305, no S, would sometimes give people problems with recognizing their iPhone/iPod. I've had no such problems so far). This is INCREDIBLY nice, as before I had my music collection on 6-7 mp3 CD's. Searching for what you want to listen to is a breeze and functions similarly to an iPod Classic. As a side note, when you plug in the iPhone, it automatically switches to iPod mode and starts playing where the currently playing song on the iPod left off. Some people may be annoyed by this if you just want to charge your iPhone, but it's more convenient than not, considering it's the mode you'll probably use the most...

Songs load quickly and scrolling through the head unit interface is easy - very similar to the iPhone itself. I love the artwork display - looks very good on the LCD screen. Sound quality is good although I probably need to upgrade from factory speakers to really take advantage of it. The detachable face unit is a plus for deterring theft. Being that it is expandable it is nice to know I have the option to add bluetooth, HD radio, CD changer or satellite radio down the road if I want. I'm glad these weren't included because then the overall cost would be higher and right now I'm not using any of them. Bottom line: If you are an iPhone / iPod music person and don't need CDs, this is the head unit suited for you. ***********Update 12/23/10 1. Just found out I can play RHAPSODY...

I've received a lot of compliments on how great my system sounds. So Audio Quality is top notch. Features are also great with the IPOD functionality and Control. Tested the Pandora on a friend's IPHONE and set up was quick and easy. Far better than having to pay for satellite radio. Now the negatives. It is Bluetooth READY not Bluetooth INCLUDED. It will require a BT Adapter which will cost another $100-150 more! The head unit cost just jumped to $400! For $250, you can grab a Kenwood KDC-X994 that also has the Pandora feature and already has the BT Adapter built in. I didn't mind at first because the Audio Quality pretty much evened out the negatives. That is until, I got the Alpine 400BT installed. With the IDA x305 and x305S, you need to take extra steps...
