If you liked that Pioneer in your sig enough for a 4 year relationship the P880PRS will last you a lifetime.

I dont think I could go with the eclipse I really need a detachable face.

Okay so I narrow it down to this two decks http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pna/product/detail/0,,2076_4041_291159496_tab=B,00.html?compName=PNA_ProductDetailComponent

Do you foresee using an ipod with an adapter with the new HU? Are you more cosmetic or sq focused? Just how much fine tuning ability is enough for you? The 860 is nice SQ wise and has a color screen, where as the 880 is EXCELLENT sq wise and has a monochromatic OEL that is perfectly ledgible in direct sunlight. Faced with this same decision a short while ago I bought the P880PRS. The thing you have to decide on is what is important to you.

Okay Im sold on the 880prs , where is the best deals at? So far this is the best I came across http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-06-PIONEER-PREMIER-DEH-P880PRS-CD-MP3-WMA-AAC_W0QQitemZ9734939167QQcategoryZ39752QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I purchased my deck from an authorized dealer locally, and I paid 425 + installation. 283 is an excellent deal as far as price goes but I would check around this forum for someone that sells them authorized. It may cost a few extra bucks, but piece of mind is worth it IMO.

I think you could snag an 8455 if you shop around...that would be the BEST IMO...better than the 880 at least!!!

880 IMO, it's essentially pioneer's replacement for the p1r. or at least that's what i was told by the regional rep.

Dam I havent really been payin attention to car audio recently... that 880 is fukin dope. Im definatly going to consider that deck over eclipse now. If there isnt any deck that looks better to me when I get my new whip Ima prolly get the 880 but then again I change my mind all the time but as of now it looks like

880 deck

zx650.4 or 350.4

RL-P 15

Zx1000.1

Well the 8445 has a downside it has no detachable face. That could potential lure thiefs not only would they steal the HU but all my other audio stuff. Sad because I heard the eclipse cd5000 at circuit city and it sounded real good
