I would like 2 get an alpine 9887 but can't seem 2 find one for any cheaper than 300. I rather get 1 from a site rather than ebay so I can get a warranty. If u guys could find me (stateprop) lol I would be gladly in debt.

Or the best unit I can get for 300 I would like alpine or pioneer.

IT HAS GREAT IPOD CAPABILITIES SINCE THAT'S MY MAIN SOURCE OF MUSIC!!!!!!

I think I'm going to go with pioneer because the alpine unit has lots of problems with ipods "no song error" as they call it.

On the crutchfield forums there is a whole thread about it I find it through google tho.

I'm still debating I might just go with the alpine-ida-x001 and by a cd changer u guys reccomend any cheap cd changer that's good?

I like alpine HU's still. They have very solid controls. but overall i just like the way you can navigate through pioneers. I find it easier than alpines. JMO though.

BTW i have pretty much the same price range that you have Dwight. Im also looking for a new HU. I still can decide between the 880,780, or 690. I have my reasons for each one but i dont feel like typing all of them.

If ipod is your biggest concern though. Then you would probobly want to try out a new pioneer because they all have direct USB access now. the 780, and the 880 you have to buy a seperate adapter. the 690 has USB though. thats the reason its so hard for me to decide

Ima google the problems on the ida x001 and see what they r. I remember the biggest 1 was the knob control makes navigation hard but idc about tht. But if its good ima go wit tht. The deck cosmetically is sexii.

Ima tryna have the freshest whip at the NE meet I gota lota money 2 spend in the next 6 weeks lol.

i'd say call or email alpine if you can't find that online. maybe start a thread on ca.com, they have alot more members there. maybe someone there is using a touch with one.

The 9886 is a VERY nice HU. If it had a USB port on the front I'd have bought it.


And if you're worried about problems with alpines..... well, you sure don't want to try a pioneer

i had problems with sonicelectronix. not a fan. they told me in private message they would send EVERYTHING needed to install my in-dash, but they only sent an antenna cable. gave me negative feedback because i gave them negative feedback and threatend to sue me for giving them the negative feedback. they made me do a online mediator service in which they turned down all of my options for them to get a positive feedback and they lied blantantly on my feedback. poor customer service. not a fan of the company.

whydo you need a cd changer for it? just use your ipod. and plus the cd changers are pretty expensive.

Well what if you have a cd and you dont have it on your ipod yet. I played that alpine though. Its nice, the screen is really bright. only thing i dont like about it was the volume control, cause you cant turn it all the way around it just goes so far.

ma bad dwight i didnt mean to jack your thread.
