I've found the Alpine's have the easiest iPod interfaces to figure out. The new models have the full speed connection, so the interface is built in allowing you to only have to buy the calbe for $30. I wanna say you have 6.5's all the way around. Ask Boogers though, he has a teg.

Pioneer!!! They're all I'll ever use, I like how they set things up, the grip of setting options and how they look. Alpine doesn't have the same setting options I've come to rely on after so many years with Pioneer. Either that or I can't find them...

^^^Have you used the Pioneer iPod Interface??? It's terrible!! Pioneer also tend to have a little bit muffled highs, and believe me I've tried to set them up to sound as good as an Alpine. Granted, yes a good deal of the settings are very easy to setup. Alpine has slimed down this years models to be much more user-friendly.

forget pioneer, go with alpine. totalimmortal is right about the full speed connection. only problem with the new alpine is they only have 2v preouts so if you can find an 05 with a 4v preout thats the way to go.
