Where did everyone pick up the Alpine CD-9855 from? $320 shipped is good. Do you like the new slide button or whateva they call it? I heard it's a pain to get used to and control the ipod with.
Does anyone like Pioneer?

I just had the Alpine 9853 installed last week. I have been pleased with it so far. The colors can't be changed, but I like the way the blue looks. The 9851 looses only a couple of features (glide touch) but very close to the same unit ($70 less). They both are "close to" 300.

pioneer is by far one of the best audio head unit makers i know. only thing being is there headunits are blue. but i recall seeing a clarion headunit all red. right now im in the same boat ready to get a headunit unsure of which one to get. because i always been a pionneer man yet i need something that can easily use with my ipod thats coming in tommorrow.

yeah the display is smaller but if you dont plan on running amplifiers you can wire the radio directly to your ignition harness and there is a switch on the radio where it will run at 60watts. my friend got rid of his 8600 for an 80 and it sounds good.
