[QUOTE="-DZ-, post: 240141, member: 545833"] If I were in the same position (and I was), I'd go with the 9815 (I did [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] ). Eclipse head units are nice and all, but for what you pay you ought be getting a lot more features. Alpine and Eclipse are equal for SQ in my book. Any SQ edge one would have over the other is marginal. Installation quality will cause a larger difference in SQ than one could ever discern between replacing one head unit with the other. Five will get you ten that it's the pocketbook placebo effect coming into play when someone says "My Alpine sounded better than my Eclipse" or vice verse. Eclipse = No MP3 and no native Satellite Radio capability. Also, ESN is probably the best in concept, yet worst in practice security device in the industry today. Time to get with the program Eclipse [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/nono.gif.eca61d170185779e0921b0faa9704973.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
