It will play the ipod, but you can only go back, forward, pause, play. You can't navigate albums/artists etc.
Best thing to do is pick the album, plug the ipod in, then use the 7998 to move around that particular album.

Yes.
It will be cumbersome, but you own the last great Alpine.

http://sonicelectronix.com/item_8681...o+iC-ALPA.html this is how I do it with my older alpine, the actual apline module where you control it form the radio really pissed me off due to its lack of quality

i just hated the way the controls worked, and i liked the idea of being able to do all the controls from the ipod

Mine will sometimes, randomly, completely drain the ipod of battery power. Other than that is ok, I guess.
