HELP! - Need new Headunit advice!

Hey guys

I have a 2003 MCS and I've decided to upgrade the system. I have bought Infinity speakers and a 10' sub along with a JBL 5 channel amp. Now I need a good headunit with good iPod capabilities. While I have heard that none of the iPod interfaces are good the ones that I have some stuff about are Pioneer and Alpine. Some have recommended just going with a new HU and using the AUX input because I will not be able to tell quality difference. Do any of you have experiences with a new HU and the iPod interfaces and whatnot? Some say to wait until new technology comes out but I am not sure when that will be.

I used to use the iceLink a long time ago, but that has broken. I liked that interface but I usually put it in the mode that allowed me to manually change the music USING THE IPOD because this was much easier. Anybody have any recommendations on these and a reccomendation for which Alpine or Pioneer is good?

Thanks

I would ask EDGE, he knows what can be done with these cars more than most.

Okay, not sure who he is but I can try to find him. I have read about this DICE thing which looks pretty cool, but I think I would need a new HU anyways to power my new speakers. Anyone?
