Now thereò€™s even more choice for iPod owners from Alpine, as the company has introduced two new head units which can be used with the MP3 player. The iDA-X100 and iDA-X200 join the iDA-X300 (Issue 1,018) and can be made Bluetooth compatible by adding the KCE-300BT accessory. Voice dialling and phonebook transfer are completed using the technology, and music stored on your mobile can be streamed to the unit. As well as offering hands-free calling, the units have Alpineò€™s IMPRINT technology, which allows users to match the sound to their carò€™s acoustics.

Take a look at the best...

Take a look at the best pictures yet of Vauxhall"s hottest ever Insignia! This is the high performance VXR version, which goes on sale before the end of the year packing a 325bhp 2.8-litre V6 turbocharged engine.

This prototype was caught testing just outside of the Nurburgring circuit in Germany where General Motors engineers have been putting the newcomer through its paces. With the gutsy engine driving all four wheels, straight line pace will be very strong ð€“ expect 0-60mph in six seconds and a top speed limited to 155mph. 

Completing the dynamic changes are adaptive dampers hooked up to stiffened suspension and uprated brakes with wide, sticky tyres. And, as you can see, the VXR has got the show to match its go too, with a muscular bodykit, 19-inch alloy wheels and, of course, bright blue VXR paint.

Inside, expect the range-topping model to be loaded with standard equipment including leather upholstery and satnav. In addition to the saloon shown here, there will be a Sports Tourer estate version too. Prices will start at around £25,000.
