Just purchased Subaru WRX STi. Awesome car, terrible sound system. Help me build a system with iPod integration. I have read some of the Kenwood vs Alpine problems. Hopefully someone can answer my specific questions. What I am currently considering:

Kenwood DDX 7015
KCA iP 500

I do not use playlists on my iPod (3rd gen 15G). Will I be able to view,scroll, and select from 300+ artists. I read that only 250 playlists/artists can be viewed from both Alpine and Kenwood. Is this true?

How about Dension Icelink plus. Anyne worked with this integration? How does it differ?

Any suggestions on different setups/brands etc, welcome.

Thanks for the help!
