The Clarion VRX755VD

Does anyone have an experience using this unit? It seems almost perfect with touch screen controls, a mockup version of the ipod to use on screen, no external box to buy (just a cable), in dash dvd. It's a little expensive but I'd be willing to pay it if it's as seemless in ipod integration as it seems.

I have had the Clarion VRX755VD since May 2005. It works as advertised. The touch screen is relatively fast. Although one can search by artist and album I find that a tad slow because it displays 6 artists at a time and I have over 60 artists and 150 albums. Random playlists work better. The major drawback is the lack of an alpha search for artist even though they have a virtual keyboard to enter FM station names. Clarion has just announced the next generation VRX765VD which is $500 less expensive. I have not had an opportunity to check that one out. Overall I have been very happy with the unit.
