I like that Alpine doesent bloat their Double Din head units with carp you dont need. I like the fact that Nav is a plug n play option plus you can get your bluetooth through the Nav module.
I dont need Sattelite/HD Radio nor do I want it. I don't like paying for features I am never going to use.
The IPOD interface is awesome and works flawlessly. Plus the sound quality is very close to CD. I have compared back and forth and there is very little difference that I can discern.
The screen resolution is first rate for DVD's
My only complain is its only 2V pre-outs. I wish it were 7V!
I will say this about Imprint! Its much more than an eq! Its an excellent 3-way electronic crossover plus it has 5V pre-outs.
Kenwood and Pioneer, Eh! I have never owned one I liked nor owned one that lasted more than a year and a half. I will stick with Alpine or Eclipse, they last!
