[QUOTE="Justintoxicated, post: 4546101, member: 561240"] Pioneer: It would appear that the 980bt has bluetooth but lacks USB, while the 880prs has both bluetooth and USB support but adapters need to be purchased seperately? In both cases the Eclipse seems to win here having both built in. I have NO idea which one has the best bluetooth (Important do to California Hands Free Laws) and which will have easiest song navigation using the USB port? Also neither unit actualy supports HD radio? WTF! Alpine: The alpine seems to do the best of everything (looking at specs) but im questioning the SQ and downgrading to 4v preouts? However the steering wheel control ready is plus since I will be taking advantage of that feature for sure!. Is Bluetooth Ready the same as having bluetooth built in or is it another marketing ploy like HDTV's that are HD Ready meaning you still need to purchase a tuner? So far: Eclipse: 7200 MKII +1 Bluetooth works with my phone +1 8v low impedence outputs +1 USB port +1 HD Radio ?-1 Is there a way to wire steering wheel controls via unit or a PAC? -.5 no Pause Button -1 No Built in Amp for my rear fill -.5 No more aluminum face and rubberized knobs, feels cheap so it must be cheap? Apline: 9887 +1 Steering hweel control Friendly +1 HD Radio ?+1 Bluetooth ready ? +1 USB Support +1 built in amp for rear fill ?-1 4v preouts ?-1 how well does the TA work? How is the sound quality? Pioneer: DEH-P800PRS -1 USB Adapter Required -1 HD Radio Not Included -1 Bluetooth Not included (How does this work?) ?-1 Steering Wheel controll? Wait, is there any reason to buy this HU other than its nice clean look? Seems more capable than the 980BT but needs a boatload of adapters which makes me question the usability snd functionality and usability since it is requiring additional purchaes. Pioneer: DEH-P980BT +1 Built in Bluetooth Support +1 best display out of these units selected -2 No USB support -2 no HD Radio Support 7200MKII Score = 2 or 1 pending there is a simple way to connect it to steering wheel controlls (not the PAC SWIX but hardwired version is cool) 9887 = score 4-5 but potentionaly a 2 or 1 (pending Questions above BT ready? etc) DEH-P800PRS = -3 or -4 (not a bad unit necessarily but missing some features I want., perhpas if it didn't need adapters or the adpaters worked remarkably well I would change my mind. Seems kinda outdated by the apline and eclipse. DEH-P980BT = -2 What can I say lack of features... [/QUOTE]
