zaxfire69 Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 I see you guys love that Alpine unit. I am in the market for a new headunit. I am torn between Alpine or Eclipse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xx24xx Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 The Alpine 9887 is pretty nice. The iPod functions work great because I can search by song, artist, album, playlist etc. I think it would have been great if we could use the volume knob as a scroll wheel, but it uses numbers to each track and you can jump with the 1-6 radio buttons. The detachable face isn't motorized wich kinda sucks because I think it would be cool. But then again thats just something that won't break. I'm really not a fan of volume knobs that have that "click" in the turn. I'd rather it be smooth with the ability to turn it up with 1 finger. Kinda like home receivers. I wish the buttons pushed in a little easier as well. I'm just nit picking though. The display is very clean and visible both day and night, though comes a bit short with 2 lines of text. It's a great unit under $300 with a plethora of optional add-ons. I think they did a great job of keeping it simple yet elegant. Alpines are my fav in terms of looks (excluding the old 1.5 din and these new ipod specific head units). lP lR O Jl lE C T - C G 6 DD 9512G - DD M2A - DDA W - DD S4A - ALPINE W505 - IMPRINT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
