Okay, I am a Alpine fan, but it seems that their new HU's are lacking some good features they had in the past.

I am looking for a HU that is compatible with iPods (not AUX). The two biggest names that are known for that are Alpine and Pioneer (2006 they jumped the gun on this!).

So, I am picking to go with Pioneer. But I am choosing between the 780MP and the 880PRS. I know that the 880PRS is a bit better sound quality and has 2 knobs instead of 1 (compared to the 780MP). But I like how the 780MP has a colored screen.

But since this is really for my iPod. I was wondering how many lines of songs it displays when scrolling. And if one is faster/better than the other.

edit: I forgot to say, this is going into a stock 1995 toyota 4runner (green). im going to keep it stock, might add woofers later on (boxed) since i am looking to sell this and go with a smaller car.

 
And, the price of the two are about the same, thus no need to talk about pricing. I will be using the ib100ii with the pioneer.

anyone have videos of it working? i tried youtube but couldn't find anything.

 
I have the 780 for two months now and Once you get use to the controls I preffer having the one knob rather than the two knobs of my old Pioneer.
i chose the 780 aswell, its probably been around 3 months now, and im very happy with it. stellar SQ, aweome screen, and a killer EQ all built into the unit. at first i was iffy on the one knob controls, but after i got used to it i actually am quite fond of it. its very nice.

choose whichever one suits your needs more, and if you want a little bling with it the 780's not a bad way to go //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

 
iheartmy880prs

i think its rather silly to choose a color screen over improved quality //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

but i think the 880prs is the sexiest model they have visually too

so its a win win

 
thanks for the awesome resonses....

i figured out that they both have 3 lines on the ipod display. so here's wut i've gathered...

780mp has a nice color display... the knob takes getting used to...

880prs has better sound quality (i dunno how significant)... two nobs...

hard choice still... lol any one else?

 
1. seems like a silly thing to focus on, ive never used a one knobber so I don't know the difference but I almost always use the remote soooooooooooo yeah doesn't make a difference to me. I'm guessing you could change the volume while in the settings menu with the two knobs.

2. color screens are way overrated IMO. I REALLY appreciate the white on black that the 880 is rockin. Very easy to read.

the ability to go active, auto eq and 16 band l/r

auto eq is the tits

 
880 seems to be the ultimate choice... i'm seeing it go for $300 shipped on ebay... any suggestion on where to pick it up?

i also need a wire harness...

and i think that's about it... where should i pick those up?

 
yeah, that too =P
so:

1. are the two nobs that much better?

2. color screen over slight gain (880) in audio quality/control
lmao "slight" gain //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/hilarious.gif.02a037aad04aa96f19982b298a3d70a8.gif 3-way xover, 16 band eq, time alignment is a light gain //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif i'm really intriqued by the 880. might trade my 9835 for it? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/uhoh.gif.c07307dd22ee7e63e22fc8e9c614d1fd.gif
