I'm thinking of getting this for my wife's MINI when I put in an amp and some new speakers. I read older posts here and on Crutchfield. Its pretty spotty. Its great! It sucks! Anyone with recent experience on this? I have the PXE-H100 in my car for my Alpine HU and when I used the mic to...

Thanks Palmfish. I downloaded and looked at the manual. Just wondered what real world experience people had with it. Appreciate the feedback.

#3 - Does it really take you attention away from the road to find a station? Without the addon EQ how is the SQ?

I'm ready to get one of these mainly because of the iPod integration. I know its lacks EQ and have finally come to terms with that. Now I hear the radio is a nightmare. Is it true the radio section gets horrible reception? Also are presets a nightmare to access without multiple functions and...

can't wait for the reviews!

I tried and placed the order as a new customer and they even called me to tell me I couldn't do it because I'm not a new customer even though I signed up like a new one. It kills me as mine could've shipped today but I'm determined to get a discount because its replacing a crappy HU they sold...

Still no luck

If you guys are ordering from crutchfield you can use my referral code at checkout to save $20. pkakz-sqjr8-yjcki) I just tried the referral code and it wouldn't take. That would be awesome. I'm trying to get the best price on one of these.

Interesting. Thanks. It wasn't in the brochure I got from the show. Also of interest is only the x100 has a burr brown. The other has a integrated DSP. I guess the X100 is the way to go. The screen is sooooo much better than the x200 also.

Crutchfield is now saying these no longer include Burr Brown Dac's. Can someone confirm or deny this?

I saw these at CES. I specifically went to the Alpine booth for these units. The difference between the 100 and 200 isn't that big feature wise but the screens are completely different so the 100 would be better. I was still disappointed that Alpine makes you hook up another unit to get EQ. It...

Thanks Brad.

If I create one in iTunes will that allow the unit to read it like an iPod?

How does this unit access the HD? Its sound very complex to do while driving your car. IE folders/subfolder/song. Also it only has a 16 bit dac.

Its suddenly started blowing its 30A power supply fuse. It will cost as much to fix as a new amp. What would you all recommend as a modern equivalent to this amp? Appreciate all the help and advice.
