I recently installed an Alpine CDA-9857 into my '94 Camry, along with the Alpine iPod cable. Having tried (and returned) a Belkin FM transmitter, I found that the Alpine + iPod integration works great, with only a few minor complaints.
The only complaints I have about it are that it takes about 1-2 seconds to fetch the information of a song after you press previous or next, and that none of the various display options includes the time left counter, only the time elapsed.
Slashdot Mirror
No tethering app initially...but the T-Mobile CTO stated they weren't going to do anything to actively prevent it.

Alpine actually has a very nice video of the unit in iPod operation here http://www.alpine-usa.com/en/products/product.php
Overall, I love the setup. Now if it only had a text-to-speech system while you navigated the menus...
