Just a followup, Alpine fixed all the issues with my IVA-505 and gave me the version 2 nav module which is dramatically better. I still on occasion have the issue where I have to unplug and re-plug my ipod in but its only a minor gripe. Its no secret on here that I am not a big Pioneer fan but thier high end head units are pretty sweet and I am sure they are well made. They hands down have the best navigation. I personally feel the Alpine is bit more refined and has better DAC converters but thats my opinion. The low 2 volt output was not an issue for me since I am feeding my signal into an Audio Control EQX.
