Alpine 9855 release???

The glide touch seems like an annoying feature, that's why I got the 9833 instead of the 9853-9855.

I wish they would hurry up and ship these ****ers out. I am getting anxious.

also trying to decide if I should just wait a few more weeks and get a indash DVD w/Screen like the D301 or D901?

i'm thinknig about callin and see if they have any here i finally got the cash and they discontinue the 9835 so im looking into getting the 9855 after checking it out before i look into getting a 9835 from some online store

i went to my local car shop and it was a pretty bad ass headunit....im ordering mine is 2 weeks

called around all morning and alot of the shops said a week or two more. then I found one that said "let me check our shipment I think we got a few this morning" sure enough they did and I bolted to nashville to get it. was late for work but everything was cool, a slow day which ended up working out better. I installed my 9855 in the parking lot at work. Which was REAL easy since I was replacing a 9813 and my dash just pops off and it only calls for 6 small screws to take it in and out.

as for details, like the rest I will have to get back to you on that. Like I said installed it while at work and only had the ride home to play with it. however one of the first things that I really was impressed with is that fact that at any angle of the face(tilt) the display is still crystal clear.

does the glide touch strip have any lighting to it at all when i checked it out it was in a show room so all the lights were on

Considering that the 9853 and 9855 are nearly the same expect for higher preouts, changing button colors, and an amazing screen then yes the glide touch glows a very soft white. It does not stand out on the unit but it is bright enough for you to know where it is while driving down the road.

here ya go, if they don't show look in my gallery.

so far, I am loving this new head unit. The glide touch works better than I expected and is easier than expected to scroll through the menus once you learn the menu pages.
