I jokingly accused them of passing off thier prototype on me. Either way, I am fed up with this unit.

Alpine is a good stereo unit depending on the features you are looking for. For example, if you want a single din unit, it’s probably in the top five….if not top three. I have owned them in the past and loved them. Had little glitches here and there but you can get those on any given auto stereo. It’s statistically impossible to have zero problems on all manufactured products. Alpine double din head units are a different story. Having to dock a navigation modular unit and having only a 2v outputs on the pre-outs is not something I want. Obviously this depends on when you buy because technology changes constantly. Kenwood could have all the features, great reviews, price etc. this year and in 2012, “XXX” brand could be the Big Dog!
In my opinion, for 2010, Kenwood and Pioneer is top Dog.
