I loved my 9886 but i'd go with the Eclipse if you want more tuning features. The Alpine was basic as fuck.

If you want an Alpine with more features, a 9887 is worth a look.

Don't get the 9886. I like the deck and all, but not enough EQ tuning. And if you want more, you have to get Imprint, which i can't get because I have Sirius satellite.

True that... that's the main reason I'm thinking about returning mine for something else. Although I do like the rat tail USB.

Sell your 9884 (which is nearly identical to the 9886 in terms of features) and pony up for a 9887.

Why do you say that you can't use Sirius because of Imprint? I have a brand new install and am having problems with Sirius and I have Imprint???
