Does alpine still have the biolite display on the 2006 models? or was it just on the 04 models? Im having trouble finding anything about this when looking for a new HU.

it allows ipod/headphone/coax input
also charges an ipod
this means i can play my ipod, my gf's rio mp3 player, or my laptop all from my car speakers, one at a time of course

i wish i had the money to get a new hu that was better for controlling the ipod, but i cant afford it, there are too many other places to spend money, possibly like an amp and/or sub

edit - itrip and other fm things are good only if you switch up cars or ride with buddies alot, the sound quality sucks and if you change cities you need to find new stations all the time
also it doesnt charge it, and since apple cant make a battery that lasts longer than their warrenty i prefer not having to deal with it since it gets charged everytime i drive
