The Alpine iDA-X305 is a plain and simple digital audio playback system that can play MP3s and WMA formatted files, but it does not have a CD player. You can hook up an iPod cable to browse the iPod directly. The Pioneer AVIC-U310BT is a whole lot more and unless you are planning to go over budget on just the main unit, you ought to look elsewhere. The AVIC-U310BT is a sat nav and CD player that can hook up to your iPod or iPhone and provides a large display with touch screen. It's the whole works and Pioneer didn't hold back on its offerings with this unit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
