Alright - I've got an 02' outback with the OEM kenwood head unit and the OEM drivers side remote.

I've been contemplating adding an IPOD to the system but there doesn't seem to be a solid, cheap option for it. Cords are too short, can't control XYZ from one side of the other, etc.

So my question is one that has likely been asked a thousand times. Can I upgarde my head unit to a newer model that has an IPOD/MP3 port on it and is MP3 (CD-R) compatible and have it work with my existing drivers side remote?

What are my options? Are all Kenwoods compatible with my old remote?

What are my options? I have both an Ipod and I have a regular MP3 player with 3.5m jack. I'm not against burning 100 songs in MP3 format onto a CD-RW and using 2-3 of those as my "boat cd's"..


Thoughts?
