The other review says that there is a clock problem this is not true you just have to be able to set the clock which is a little confusing the first time that you do it (You must pretend as if you are watching a movie with parking break etc...). This does mean that you cannot adjust the clock while you are moving. However, the ipod interface is fantastic especially if you save the settings to be identical to the ones on the iPod. Just take a little time setting up everything the way you want it before you take it out. From then on it is easy to work with and a great product i would recommend this to anybody who doesn't necessarily want a full touch screen, and would rather use a system like this for sound rather than for movies.

This is a great unit especially if you're using an IPOD with it. The IPOD control is flawless compared to The Pioneer this replaced and a JVC unit that I have in another vehicle(JVC IPOD control is worthless!). I also have a rear camera hooked up to it. Sound quality is excellent with my factory Infinity gear. I haven't had any problems with it to this point so I'm very satisfied with it. This replaced a Pioneer AVIC F700bt that was in my Wrangler 4door. My only gripe is the video bypass. All manufacturers should realize that most people are going to bypass the video on their units regardless of safety concerns. I purchased a PAC TR-7 to do it with this unit. Without by-passing the video you have to do the foot brake/parking brake dance to either watch video or get to the basic setup menu's. It's not like I'm going to watch video while I'm driving but I do like to tweak things while on the go. And the 4 step process that Alpine wants you to do to get to the basic menu's is why I rated this 4 stars instead of 5.

I had the first generation generation iDA-X001 in my vehicle and when the faceplate broke I decided to upgrade to the Alpine IWAW404. I loved the look and has been wanting a double-din deck. I was very happy with the iDA-X001 and thought this unit, being 4 years newer, would be even better. What I got was a week of a lot of wasted time as I watched Car Toys install three of them over a one week time period. The iXA-W404 kept freezing up for 2 to 10 minutes at a time. I finally had them install the single din i-DAX305s and so far so good, sound is great, works as advertised. When the iXA-W404 was working, I loved it, too bad they cant fix the problems is is having. I should have known there was something wrong when they knocked $200 off the price...I heard they are going to discontinue this model, and for good reason. Do not buy this!
