Alpine CDA-9835 with biolite display is my favorite head-unit. Even over my old Pioneer DEH-800PRS with copper chassis. I've always liked the Alpine Phantom Face head-unit as well. Alpine > Pioneer.

I agree!

I love anything from the old 9900 series. Want to get one, but I'm not sure how they do with ipod compatibility. Someone told me there is an adapter, but I never got any real solid information (that I remember).

I too own the 9835. One of the best HU's I've owned to date. Funny thing is I bought it barely used several years ago for 300. That price still exists today even for a new one. Tells ya something right there.

going back to when a lot of you guys won't remember. Panasonic has some of the prettiest stuff and most had 5V pre-amp outs with cool UI.

Prettiest/looks aren't everything.

it's the performance/functions to one's needs/standards that matters most.

Prettiest/looks might not be everything...but the 9835 has best of both worlds.

I remember there was one alpine headunit that actually required an amp to even run the headunit itself or else it won't turn on.. Does anyone remember that?
