shtech's Full Review: Alpine iDA-X001 CD Player
I have had this unit for 3 months now and all I can say is I wish I could return it!!!! It is not "Mac like" in any way. It's confusing to use and the button configuration leave much to be desired.

For example: the big round button in the middle you would think would be the action button as it is on the iPod, well you'd be wrong. It is the search button only. You press it and it takes you to the search screen where you pick the song or playlist or artist then you must press this small "Ent" button on the side. If you have a long list of songs you use the "jog dial" to move up and down. The problem here is that it is spring loaded not a "dial" and if you jog it 3 times it starts moving up/down the list quickly and you have to jog it in the other direction to stop it. I can never find what I am looking for!!!!

This is only one of a number of problem I have found with the iDA-X001. Others involve the radio itself and let's not talk about the bluetooth integration kit. If I could I would return it, but it's too late. Anyone want to buy it from me?

I hate the unit! I would not only not recommend it but recommend against it!!! DON"T WAIST YOUR MONEY!

just my $0.02
