Aside from the GlideTouch, there is one other difference - while both units use a Biolite display, the -55 is a little nicer to look at (the way the info is displayed).

That being said, I'll be picking up my 9835 later this week (just can't wait around for the 9887...).

If it matters, there IS a physical difference on the back of the unit as well. Check out these pics (the -55 has the three pairs of RCAs):

i would take a 35 over a 55, i like mine.... the glide touch was shitty for a while but once i got used to it i actually like it alot.... but the 35 is what i consider one of, if not the best, deck alpine has ever made.... if u cant find a 35 go with the 55 u wont be dissapointed

MP3 loading on my 9855 is quick. But I do despise glidetouch. I have gotten used to it, but I still hate it.

I told you it sucks //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

The 9835 also has three pairs of rca outputs. I believe it is the sub out that is the teal wires coming from the back of the unit.

I've got a 9835 right now, its kinda a s1ut since its on its third vehicle with me...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif But Its a fantastic HU
I scrambled to find one right after the glide touch POS's came out, but I'm seriously thinking about selling it now for a new alpine. I use my iPod with it and the interface is so F***ing slow! You can forget about trying to navigate to a specific song when you have 30gigs unless it starts with A or Z, it just takes forever to scroll:crying: Mp3 CD's are fine, but they also have a lot less music.

Some of the new units with the full speed interface, and the new blue tooth adapter have caught my attention...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/greedy.gif.5a53e6246569d7ab79867170f3b06629.gif

aux input FTW!!//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

55, glidetouch isnt that bad, and like they already said, you really only set it up and you dont have to use it again after that for much

 

[fawd06 10+ year member]

I had the CDA-9835, really liked it. I prefer to have buttons.....

Unless you have an ipod, then you have to use it

No, some people cant get use to using it tho. I personally like the glide touch, i got use to in a couple of days.
