Just thought you’d like to know, I just got a note from Alpine saying that as of today, the iDA-x001 mega-iPod friendly car stereo is available at all Alpine-aothorized retailers. That means you can get your hoopty over to Best Buy and get the closest thing to iTunes in your car as is possible right now. Some retailers, Alpine couldn’t list who, are offering free installation and even some discounts for the first week it’s on the shelves, so go now. Once you’ve got good iPod-car integration, you’ll wonder what you did before it.
