If you can find them... Alpine 9855 & 9853's

CDA9887. Usually goes for ~$300 BNIB.

Or you can look for a Eclipse 7200MKII, Clarion 9255, Pioneer PRS880/PRS800.

I dont understand those posts cuz I have seen them before... The 9853's dont have glide touch so I thought he made a mistake and meant a 9855 but my 9855's screens look nothing like that???

Look at the second pic, it says 9853 on the top right.

Weird I was always told 9853's didnt have the glide touch...

You are thinking of the 9835 with Biolite and no glide touch.

You could always get the 9887, and get the imprint software, did it in a buddy's car, and sounds awesome.

Any of the ones I listed are active capable. The 9887 has the option to use the KTX-100EQ Imprint.
