Ya, I am not a big fan of the deck control of the ipod on the 9835 myself, but the ipod is all I listen to. Usually I just pull the pod out of the glove box to switch playlists/albums when I want to. As for the the IVA-W200, I haven't had the chance to play with it myself yet. The ipod control is supposed to be better with the full speed control and on screen display, which is the main selling point for me. That, and that it will take up the whole double din so I can get rid of the pocket. Overall the specs look nice, and I can't wait to try it out. I am always pleased with their products.
