Alright, I've had my iPod connected to a Nakamichi CD45z through the aux port using a Belkin adapter. I'm tired of using the ipod to select songs - it's too hard to view the ipod while driving the car and I don't want to get in an accident. So, the main reason I'm considering buying a CDA 9830 and 420i is for convenience. I don't expect any sound quality improvement. However, I expect the navigation to be straightforward and quick - how bad is the wait time? Is navigation relatively easy? If I wait for a 2005 model, do you think there will be much of an improvement? When do 05 models come out? Thanks all.

Scrolling is rather slow and noone knows for sure if the '05 models will address that.

With that being said, I still like my 9820XM and 420i combo immensely.
