New Pioneer HU? or Keep the Alpine..
Currently i have an Alpine CDA-9855.. im tired of the crappy iPod interface.. i was looking at a Pioneer DEH-P7800MP, i know its discontinued but i can still get one.. i was deciding between the P7800MP and the newer 9800BT.. i mean, i DONT really need the Bluetooth on my radio.. what are the real differences between the two? i'm planning on keeping or ending up selling the Alpine.. its difficult to drive and swipe my finger on the "GlideTouch" just to look through a 300+ Artist iPod..

what dont you like about hte interface with the ipod? the new Alpine decks have quick percentage search, where you can search in 17 percentiles, and IMO theyre the easiest to use for ipod integration.

ipod interface on the IVA-W200 (now 205) is pretty sweet. Alpine also makes another single DIN unit that is "made" for ipods, with a more ipod-like interface, but I don't think it plays CDs.

I have no idea about other brands though.

the CDA-9855.. the Glidetouch is the main reason why its so difficult to use the iPod interface.. Plus its not "High Speed" iPod adapter.. the Preouts on this model are 5volts, it was the last Alpine with it... i think.. and thats why i bought it..

I actually have the Alpine X001, which replaced my old Pioneer 6700. The Ipod functionality is amazing, but it has its drawbacks. I am constantly messing with the sound options, mostly adjusting the bass. Also the radio can be a real pain in the *** and it has no CD player. Not sure if that is an issue or not. I enjoy the unit as it allows me to access the ipod in an easier manner than my old Pioneer, but I suggest you check it out in a store first and see how it works for you.

are you flippin serious? it doesnt even come with a remote! Most headunits do, and most headunits can atleast play an iPod.. i mean, even mine does... and it has a CD player! sorry, i think that headunit is a piece.. for the price.. i could just stay with my current setup and unplug the ipod from the connector and just manually select the song. ill just leave my glovebox open and put the ipod in my cup holder

I know some people that ive put the ipod-controlled decks in for, haven't once used cd's since they're stock deck, no need becuase everything they own is on the ipod, and for radio they use satellite.
