2008 is looking out to be a good year for car audio fans! Atleast, the offerings from Alpine will be sure to please the likes of many looking to get the latest in 12v goodies. New Headunits in both single and double din varieties, with a slew of navigational updates and gadgets. My favorite thus far being the IVA-w505; a Double din 7″ touchsreen media headunit with HD Radio and iTunes tagging built in, as well as Divx playback ability. An a beauty at that…. just look below!
