See I'm not terribly impatient, I can wait 1 second for something, but when it was as slow as the Eclipse unit was for me, it becomes essentially unusable

Actually, it sucks for me, Crutchfield has a REALLY nice price on that adapter right now, I'd get completely screwed if I tried to sell it on its own

is the new adapter compatible with the older decks like the 9835?

No, since it's not an adapter like the 420i.. It's just a cable, and only the latest decks are setup for it..

the alpine one you can search artist, albums, songs, and i beleieve playlists. there is about a second delay between changing things. the only problem is when you have a lot of artist on your ipod, and you wanna scroll to one on the bottom of the list

And it only has the ability to store 255 names in any category, ie: 255 artists, albums, or songs.. Playlists are your friend..

How slow is the Alpine unit?

What does it offer in terms of searching? Do I have the same options that I do on my iPod, like artist/album/track/random, etc?

Painfully.. Compared to how fast it is searching thru the iPod itself.. You can search my Artist, Album, or Playlist.. Again, playlists are your friend.. And there's always the random option..

My friend got a 9856 this weekend Cy, I'll tell you how it goes w/ ipod.

I'd like to know how fast it really is.. Alpine says it's supposed to be as fast as searching thru the iPod itself.. It's also supposed to give you more search options, such as Genre.. So, it's supposed to be more transparent and be more like using an actual iPod..

scrolling is slow?

Very.. You'll see.. That's why I have mine on random (M.I.X. in Alpine-speak) 99% of the time.. Make lots of playlists and you'll be good to go.. It supports up to 255 playlists, so you should be able to group your tunes however you like..

you must be very impatient if you think the scrolling is "very" slow //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

I probably won't even use the iPod alot, just sometimes there will be songs on there that I dont have on CD and I want to be able to use it in that case

need to order some carpet but i is broke

 

[MegaHurtz 10+ year member]

I'm not that impatient, I can wait like 1 second for something, that's no big deal, but when it really starts to lag it becomes a pain in the ***.

The most important thing is that it works as it should, has all the features and is basically a solid setup. Speed comes second to quality.

I paid like $190 CAD shipped on my iPod adapter, god **** it.
