Alpine IVA-W200 double din is out!!!!
That's right...I guess they have been released! A couple of them are on Ebay and I've seen one for sale on another Forum and on Craigslist. Crutchfield still does not have them listed yet.
The ones on Ebay are going for more then m.r.s.p., I think I'll wait. I also need to see one to determine if I like it more than my D310 first anyway.

That is a nice HU, but for about 1/2 the cost you could go with this JVC:

I know Alpine is better than JVC, but I haven't had any problems with my JVC and it plays GigaMP3, which alpine does not.

I tend to like the JVC better because of price and gigamp3, but the Alpine is nice too..

I just installed my first one saturday and already hate it. All of my jigs for the eclipse dash kits will not work with the nose piece of the alpine. And since I have to hand build dash kits for all the new cars this will kill my setup time. Sorry brypink2 just had to vent, 1 for the dash kit thing and 2 for having to go in on a saturday to do it.
Other than that it looks nice. The docking station for the blackbird is not available yet though.
