If you're looking for simplicity and not a highly overdone interface, I would suggest going with a low-price head unit that doesn't have the ipod integration. All of my friends dropped a ton of money on fancy head units that have ipod integration and they like them, but the ipod section of the interface is their least favorite part. Searching through songs, artists, etc. on a head unit is usually very tedious. I have a cheap sony head unit in my car I picked up for $60 used with an auxiliary port. It sounds good, and I still get to use the interface the device was designed to be used with. In all honesty, it's easier and less distracting to use the ipod controls themselves with an auxiliary than it is to click through one of the alpine heads. Just my two cents, but if I was you, working on a budget and just wanting to play my ipod, I would stick to auxiliary imput.
