Alpine ida-x305 with Modifry DCI and Harness
I've been reading up on the DCI plug and play harness for Alpine decks and it says its plug and play. I just want some confirmation that the full install (alpine head unit, DCI) is completely plug and play. I've never done any wire splicing so I'd like to avoid that if possible.
To clarify, the 3 things I will need are:
1. Alpine x305, obviously
2. Modifry DCI
3. Plug and play harness for Alpine decks from Modifry
Are these all I need and does the plug and play harness require an IR DCI or wire DCI? Thanks.

I got the wired and it was just plug and play. Read through modifry's directions and once you have all the parts on hand, it's easy to see how it all goes together.

Thanks.
I noticed on Modifry's page he has a warning saying that using the wired DCI in conjunction with an Alpine ida series head unit sometimes causes some inputs to miss or become unresponsive when using the dimmer function on the deck. Has anyone had this problem? Should I go with an IR DCI to avoid it?
One more thing, has anyone had any issues connecting this unit to an Iphone 3G? I've heard different things from the reviews. Some say it works perfectly, some say it doesn't at all, some say it works but is a bit finicky (will throw an error if you already have a song playing and plug it).
