bouche Posted February 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 i have the alpine with serius and a ipod interface, i love it, it has a touch scren that pops out and you can search your ipod on the screent he same way you can on the ipod, you can go by artist, play list, and a few other ways, i love it, but i've never used the sat radio, if you have your ipod hooped up, your not really going to be using the radio alot what model? It sounds like you have the 1000 dollar version. \/\/illy, are you saying that it depends on playlists? I'll have to get a demo. What model is it? Wanna sell yours?

bouche Posted February 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 wait-a-minute, do I still have to buy shit to plug the iPod and Satellite into this thing?http://www.alpine-usa.com/US-en/products/product.php?model=CDA-9857If so, I may just go back to a pioneer with a decent screen. They are much cheaper, have an audio in, and I can get the iPod thingy for around 100 bucks extra. Looks like the alpine is gonna cost twice that now.

bouche Posted February 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 I'm going to shop for a pioneer/kenwood with a decent display for iPod. Anyone have thoughts on a deck that I can get at the Future Shop? My last deck was a sony xplode and I really enjoyed it. So I think pioneer or kenwood would do too.

questcequecest? Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 my new one's a pioneer, nothing too special ~$200, sirius ready, aux in. i like it. the last one, a jvc, sucked.i'm also more careful to take the face out.. the last one i didn't bother. i thought it was crappy enough not to get stolen.

larry_llama Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 Just get a shitty amp, chuck it under the seat and run the line in to the ipod... no head unit to get stolen. Regular radio sucks, and what's the point of CDs anyway? Rip 'em the day you buy them, and they never have to leave the shelf.Breakin' the bank on car audio is asking for trouble. You can get a head unit that plays mp3s burned to DVD off ebay for $100, and if it gets stolen who cares. Sound quality be damned... unless you sit in the car with the engine off and use it as a listening room, the road noise is going to cancel out every dollar spent on high end units (and then some).I guess I just don't see the point of having an ipod display in the dash when the ipod already has a display. Wouldn't it be better to spend the money on a really sturdy mount for the ipod? Then the most expensive piece of your car stereo goes in your pocket with you whenever you leave the car...

Not needing to remove a faceplate is a good idea. Is that expensive? I have decent speakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popo weenie Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 Car Stereo got stolen last night. I failed to lock the doors I guess.If the thief had of knocked on my door and asked me to give him the stereo when I was ready for a new one, I would have.So now I'm forced to get the new deck. I'm looking for a place in Hull or Ottawa that is an Alpine dealer. I'm finally going to get a deck that takes the iPod and Sirius. No More CD's all over the car!any suggestions?really feel bad for you sure hope your insurance covers itmy heavens how can someone steal out of a car parked right in your own drive waysad i saygood luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted February 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 don't feel bad about the stereo. I realized that a very nice Jerry Garcia 4-disc set is missing and that definately hurts. I never really gave a shit about the deck. The Thief may have had good taste. It shouldn't cost me much to buy the disc set back from the local pawn shop. I'll haggle good.

Jared Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 on my system the ipod is in the glove box, that locks, and the serius thing is just a plain box plugged into the back of the deck. that no one would think to take,thre both pretty safe i figure, plus the screen on my deck fold into the deck and ther eis nothing on the front really, so its hard to notice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

\/\/illy Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 Wanna sell yours? Absolutely. My plan is to have my old Pioneer repaired and put it back in the vehicle. Only problem from your perspective is that the Alpine is in my van in storage. Can you wait until April? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted February 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 Nah, I need it now. I'm gonna go for a pioneer I guess. If I could wait, I'd probably wait for a new line to come out with better interfaces. I'm taking your advice and going for the line in. I'll be able to get one at Future Shop installed for very little compared to the frikken Alpine rout. Any Pioneer suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bouche Posted February 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 car audio experts! I'm looking at this Pioneer Deck which will be available on friday. What are your thoughts?

aberg83 Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 Just got my stereo stolen a few weeks back in Boston... it was a pioneer with ipod adapter box. All that was stolen, as well as my 60gb ipod.I have since replaced it with a new Alpine CDE-9873 with fullspeed ipod connection, for $200 tops. I gotta say the interface is great, and those of you that are complaining probably haven't tried the new alpine units with quick search and full speed... it's amazing! The amp in the alpine sounds great too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
