I like that 7800 and 9800, but I'll stick with my Eclipse.

I didn't mean to be like totally pro-alpine, but i was jus sayin' that i've already got an aftermarket deck and wouldnt jump for this one.

Oh hell no, I wouldn't trade-in for these decks. If I still had the factury HU and was in the market for one, I might glance at these. They have cool features, but I would just wait until Alpine, Clarion or Eclipse comes out with the same features. Eclipse will probably be last with Bluetooth, they always seem to running behind.

Exactly, that's what i meant. Bluetooth really doesn't matter for me, because my fones are never uptodate and i try to limit my fone calls in the car anyway. Its cool that these new HU's have all these features, but at the end of the day, i just want it to sound good.

pioneer is trash, alpine > *

Fujitsu-ten Eclipse isn't 'bad' necessarily, but definately behind the curve.

When Eclipse comes out with something to rival Alpine's F#1 line, let me know.

Clarion came out w/ their DRZ9255 not too long ago, that was very impressive...

Eclipse....?

i've had alpine and pioneer h/u's and my personal preference is the sound and functions of the alpine way outdid the pioneer.

im all alpine. ive gone through 3 cars and all 3 ended up with alpine decks. When i say ended up, i mean ive gone through sony, pioneer, jvc, clarion and just loved the alpine. eclipes deck doesn't look too great but they perform very very well.

Pro-pioneer. I've been thru them all also (not in the TL). I always loved my pioneers with built in 13 -band eq's and hi and lo pass filters, crossovers, and sub control. But as far as these new units, I hate the "one button does all" situation. Go try out that "knob" in-person, you'll see what I mean.

alpines before seemed overpriced, and the only one i owned crapped out on me. But so has a Nakamichi.
all 3 pioneers i've owned have worked flawlessly. But i think alpine styling is still better. Pioneers are way too flashy, and look like they'd only fit in if you installed them in a spaceship.

if i was to buy a new headunit, it would be either a nakamichi or eclipse

LOL, all of them. Just joking, everyone has their own opinions.

That's the reason for my opinion, because I've been thru the same exact situation.

Alpines BT adapt or is scheduled for release in march.
Pro's: An ad on piece (AI Net) = reduced noise and possible backwards compatibility although we'll have to try that out ourselves.
Con's: Limited feature package, unfortunately Alpine has other plans for their wireless capable head units so there wasn't much emphasis put on Bluetooth....
BTW: We should start seeing a new logo on '06 alpine head units..... PlaysForSure via USB2.0 :thumbs:up

Now this is all scheduled for the '06 model year but as some of u know, alpine has a bad history when it comes to release dates....
