[QUOTE="BodegaBay, post: 1383815, member: 560141"] It's very interesting to see Alpine marketing their head units for the market. Clearly the days of affordable high end headunits in the Alpine line is gone. The 9857 is just a shadow of what the 9853 once was. It's now only 2v with not that great of features. Alpine is drawing the roadmap to three distinct markets: High End: F1 Status Mid-Fi: 9857 and 9856 MultiMedia: all their touchscreens and DVD DIN units Maybe it's my imagination but it seemed this year, Alpine, Eclipse, Clarion, etc. are all cutting features that were once std. for their affordable flagship models and favoring either ultra high end or multi-media DVD/LCD with outboard processing.
