Nice pics man, I just noticed that Best Buy added the 9853 and 9855 to they're site. It says they're only available in the stores though. May have to put it on the old Best Buy credit card //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif.

anyone know what the "data download" is for? and what you can download to the deck? think we can get any more of the BG Display graphics???

You can customize all your settings through the alpine web site burn it on to a disc and download it into the headunit.

To get this feature to work make sure you burn the disc as data. Also you have to register at http://www.alpine-usa.com to take advantage of this feature.

Here are some new, higher quality pictures, of the 9853:

You can also see how the menus are laid out from these pictures.

sounds sweet as hell.

yeah it is and is nothing new, this option has been avalable for a couple years now. My cda 7897 had this feature along with the 9835 that I just got rid of...

Local Best Buy says 9855 will be in no later than May 13th. 9853 is in already.

Does anyone know what 9855 looks like when they are playing an mp3 for eg. What information do they show, I was told they look like the 9835 with the two lines of information but not to sure how reliable the source is. I have an option for either the 9835 or the 9855 when it comes out but I think I am going more for the 9835.

Everyone, what's the difference in Bass Engine and Bass Engine Pro? I wonder this because to me, I can't see myself spending the extra cash on a CDA-9855 for just the display and 4V outputs. Besides, I am using my Epicenter as a line driver anyway (7.5V //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif ).

I wonder this because most sites and even the box on my CDA-9853 say that it's just Bass Engine and you have to upgrade to the CDA-9855 to get Bass Engine Pro. However, upon tweaking my settings, I noticed that I seem to have all the features as Pro. I have the following:

6-Channel Digital Time Correction

6-Position Digital Crossover with Adjustable Slope (2-Way and 3-Way)

5-band Digital Parametric EQ - 1/3-octave increments: Band 1 (20Hz-160Hz), Band 2 (50Hz-400Hz), Band 3 (125Hz-1kHz), Band 4 (315Hz-8kHz), and Band 5 (800Hz-20kHz)

7-band Graphic EQ

Subwoofer Level Control and Phase Selector

MediaXpander (MX)

So, the CDA-9853 has Bass Engine Pro. Which means, then, that the only difference is the display and the 4V outs...So, you have to ask yourself if it's worth $100+ for those additional items....

The colors can only be customized for the 4 buttons next to the knob, right?

The lighting for all other buttons and the knob and the GlideTouch is white, or?

 

[james33440 10+ year member]

the color of the 4 buttons can be changed to many many different colors. the color of all the other buttons is either green or amber. and, to my knowledge, the GlideTouch bar is always white....
