New head unit Alpine 9885

[craig d]

Well, I got the IPod bug recently. I listen to a lot of MP3's, so I finally decided to get an IPod and keep them all in one spot. The Alpine 9885 has the new IPOD Full Speed input, and it's pretty slick. So far I am really pleased with the setup. Initially, I used the DIN sleeve for mounting, but it recessed the radio too deep, so I had to use the ISO mount that came with the Metra kit. It's got a gap underneath the radio, but it's no big deal. I also sprung for the XM unit, as I really like the clean look of having it installed and using the head unit. I had thought about using my Roady, but I just like the clean look. Anyway, here it is, - Craig

That's pretty sweet. How much did it cost?

how are the controls? like for the Ipod?

I think it is real easy to use. The Ipod controls are easy to use, and seem to be about as fast as the Ipod itself. Heck, even my wife can use it!
