I've had 3 Pioneers die on me. I've given up on that brand.
this is the one I'm running right now, the Alpine CDA-9855
the display is ultra slick, which comes in handy if you're planning on iPod'ing it. Warning, it will take a week or 2 to get used to working this radio. There is a nasty learning curve on how to run it.

just curious, what makes it so difficult to learn how to use?

This is Alpine's top, non-LCD, headunit. It has so many features on it, you'll have a hard time adjusting the "bass" alone.
ex
You can tune 4 speakers individually. Since you're not sitting in the center of your car, you can actually adjust speakers to "time delay" so the sound will hit all at the same time.

If you like Pioneer, get the $219 one even though the pre-outs are only 2V. I had a DEH-P850 for 2 years and a 6500 for 2 years before that. Happy with Pioneer so far.

You cant lose with the Pioneer and Alpine models at that price range. I prefer the look of the Alpines, but the GlideTouch is :ugh: IMO. But the display onthe 9855 is dreamy. I have the Premier p770. Works great.
(Until I discovered it has a busted internal amp when I sold it
h: But I dont use it anyway :happysad: )
