I had a hard time choosing between the Pioneer 880 unit and the Alpine 9887. The Pioneer 880 auto time alignment and the left/ right 16 band eq. has sold me. From my research it sounds like users prefer the Alpines Ipod drive over the Pioneer.

For those of you that have the Pioneer 880 in the stock location, how does the display look during the day? Is it washed out? Can you see the display?

Thanks.

I've had both the 880 and the 9887. Feature-wise, the 880 is ahead, but it's an ergonomic nightmare to operate on the move. Auto-TA is worthless in absolute terms; it takes literally seconds to set up. The auto-setup needs tuning, regardless. Then there's 880's finicky nature that often materializes in added noise. I'm not referring to the PICO fuse. The Alpine, OTOH, is a joy to use and dead silent. Don't know about the Ipod. I only play CDs.

Sorry, I had mine in the lower cubby. IIRC, it lit up the whole car.
