Just a super short review... Super nice deck, plays mp3's flawless and changes tracks FAST, no idea why others are having the prob. Time alignment rocks, crossover rocks, eq needs about 2-4 more bands and a lower overall Q setting than 1. Anyways I love it! Bio lite screen ROCKS!

The first time a buddy of mine showed me that screen, I fell in love with it. Scrolling through an MP3 disc was sweeeet

Will definitely get something like one in the next install. Must have a display like that.

[desertheat]

yeah the display is easy to read, very light on the bling and graphics.. exactly what I wanted.

[Acidburn]

[desertheat]

yeah yeah hahaha I will take some tommorow. Have that cheapy jvc deck to put in the girls car and crossovers / placement changes for the speakers in the truck. Also have to install some new rear speakers. Mine are taking a dive "super old"

can someone explain to me what time alignment is? thanks

[desertheat]

It is a time delay in miliseconds for speakers. Basically you can tune the sound waves from each speaker to arrive at your head at the same time. Helps bring images up front, helps clean up bass ect..

Here are those pics I actually made a video of a run through of allot of the features and how the display works but darn ftp is down. I will get the vid uploaded soon. The vid is pretty cool, gives an in depth of what the 9835 is all about and how the screens look ect... Warning though the vid is like almost 40mb via quick time! But it is worth it if you have not seen a 9835 or are considering purchasing one. I will write a review in the review section of the deck tonight or soon.. whever I feel like doing it

I went a little different route and decided to mount the radio with the trim ring behind the panel flush mount style instead of the stock mounts which bring the faceplate about 1/2" out of the plastic.... Hated the way it looked by putting it in the way it is supposed to go. Left nasty gaps on both sides of the deck. On the metra pocket I also decided to use a different trim panel for the front and back it off about 1/2 inch flush. Looks real good in person, pics do not do the install or deck justice. FOr $390 off ebay brand new I cannot ask for a better deck!

Last note, the face tilt is an AWSOME feature. The video shows off all the tilt angles and when you turn off the truck it stays tilted out for about a minute so you can remove the face easy and when it retracts into the unit. Then when you turn the key on it auto tilts to your preset level which makes it very easy to see and control.

Ok guys, here is the video... It is sorta cheesy and things are gone through quick but I wanted to show a very quick rundown of the deck. Right click on the link and then "save target as" and save the vid to your desktop to view. My server is pretty darn quick so for those of you with high speed net the download should only take a few minutes. If you just click on it your pc will probably try to cache the whole video before playing and it will take a long time.

install looks good man.

[JAZN]

dang, never realized it was so nice till i saw ur vid. very nice.

[desertheat]

That is why I made the vid, pics do not do it justice or the screen and features ect..

Alpine made this deck being audio pro's themselves... My girl or most friends that are not really into audio or technical at all would have no clue how to make use of this deck. I would not reccomend it to people that are total noobs or do not understand mid level audio terms and how they work.

[JL_W6_v1]

pretty nice dude

i was wondering if this model is similiar to the 9831, similiar as in physical appearence...

[desertheat]

Not really... looks similar but overall features are night and day different. I did the 9830 "year before the 31" in my sis's car. Nice deck but menu's were a freakin PAIN to run through. I found myself quite frustrated for awhile getting all up and running.
