What's the best after market car stereo that will integrate my iPod? 6 CD changer a plus.
I drive a 2004 Subaru Forrester. They don't make a stereo that integrates MP3's yet (or at least the last time I asked).

It depends on how seamlessly you want to integrate you iPod. Do you just want something with an auxiliary input or do you want to be able to operate the iPod through the stereo controls?
If you're just looking for an aux input, just about any after market stereo today should do the trick. I bought my current after market stereo in 2001 and I still use it (with an optional aux attachment) to play my iPod in my car, which is really just about all I listen to in my car. It's a Pioneer DEH-P3300.
I tried a few newer stereos that would take over the control of the iPod, but I really wasn't all that impressed. I don't recall exactly which models they were, but in my opinion they really did a substandard job of translating the iPod interface.

Based on the info you give, Crutchfield suggests you try either Kenwood Excelon KDC-X493 or Dual XHD7714.
I can say that I've been impressed with Kenwood in the past, but I have no experience with Dual. But really your best bet, IMO, is to get on http://www.crutchfield.com and ask them for help picking the perfect system.

I suspect the mentality among car stereo manufacturers is that if you are going to attach an iPod then you probably aren't interested in multi-disc changers.
