D, Pick up your phone once in a while...will ya?!

Hah.... It doesn't help me either. If Alpine's iPod interface was trully 100% integrated it would have "genre" - no? Comparing b/w the Pioneer880 and Alpine57: Alpine IS faster in searching and list roll-overs. Pioneer's isn't slow, but if you turnt he knob fast, you have to wait a half...

BUMP for the afternoon crew. -99

All the usual seach functions are great ....... IF you want to find a specific song, artist, album........ ...but what if you have a singe category of "Rap", then you have your sub categories of all rap artists, with their respective albums and songs in it? Say you want to listen to 'rap'...

Hi guys, My neighbor just got his 9857 (even though I tried to push him towards the 880-lol) and while playing around the HU and it's menus we ran across something weird. We hooked up his iPod and started to fool aroudn to see what it can and can not do.... Q: is it just us, or is there no...

Oh noes! .....will be calling you in about 30 mins - lol - so pick up your phone. -99

Ha! I decided to get another PRS880, as my wife dislikes her Kenwood X890 (colors + controls). Her 4Runner has yellow/orange dash lights, so I'll mod the face of this one too (already did so for my WRX's green) and make the knobs/etc orange. Now, the radio will look a bit odd in the DIN, as...

OP: Shoot me a PM if you're interested in pictures of modified PRS880 background colors. I have a 2006 WRX and the 880. I recently took the face place apart and modded it so that when I choose "White" background my screen is still white, but the knobs and side buttons light up GREEN - almost...

This HU won't even bother to turn on with a weak battery. (I was testing stuff with mine, before installation, and it wouldn't come to life with my boats deep cycle battery; once I noticed that batt. wans't charged in a while, and turn on my charger, the batt. got some good juice, and the HU...

Actually, it shouldn't be a problem at all. The plastic "Premier" emplem pops right off (held with 2 pins and some double face tape). It's safe and easy to take off - just don't break it! The lettering on the METAL comes off with any paint stripper (don't get that crap on the plastic/screen...

rgr. ...plus, stealthbox is an option, but somehow i can't imagine myself getting rid of the 500/1 and getting an 8" sub with a 250 (or similar) amp, just to make it "right." I'd like to utilize the equipment that I have, not compromise. With that in mind let me ask another Q: ..since the...

Here's something I can't do, b/c of reasons stated in opriginal post: (sorry for linking-wouldn't show otherwise; remove if not allowed - thnx) -99

^^^borrowed from my T4R forums. Some people go that route (look up) with either custom fabrications, or JL's stealhboxes. This may be fine for most but I'd like to be able to use the 500/1 to it's potential plus I'd like to take advanctage of a "real" 10" (at least) sub, instead of a low...

Can someone with a 4runner, or any SUV, chime in and share their opinion on a good combo for a small box accomodating a 10 or 12" with "good" sound? Sorry for these silly Qs (for many of you) but I need to make the box easily removable and I'd like to avoid experimenting as much as possible...

For this vehicle (and the 500/1 amp) which would you guys recommend: 1. single 10" 2. singe 12" 3. dual 10" Wife like's techno, dance and easy, but was raised on heavy metal and likes to pound rock and metal inbetween (when I hear Slayer outside I know she got pissed off at work again-lol)...
