I've had an empeg since 2001. Last year I replaced it with an iPod+Apline. I've come to dislike the iPod and the Alpine interface both individually and combined. I am planning to go back to the empeg. I've not done so yet just because I've been using my car less.

I find it a bit sad that 10 years later noting better appeared in the market. And both my empegs have some issue here and there. Still, I can't use the Alpine (which at least sounds well) and the iPod (which, alone, just doesn't) any longer.
