eclipse 8v pre-out! (headbang)
i like the eclipse, but i dislike the new model look. 8v preouts are only on the top of the line, and you only get a one year warranty now, instead of 3. i was thinking about the alpine 9857. i went to best buy today to play with it some, and alpine stepped up a couple of notches in my book by going user friendly. no more submenu after submenu to try and adjust the bass and treble. oh! has anyone heard of diamond audio?? i hear it's pretty nice
Semi-hijack, but has anyone got to try this baby out yet? http://www.crutchfield.com/S-r7XsD181uCS/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?g=168550&I=500IVAW200
Im getting my hands on two iva w200s this week. one for my car (not the mazda) and one for a buddies tibby. The w200 is identical to the d310. The only difference from what i have seen is the interface for the 710 processor.
If im happy with the unit i will probably be selling the d310 to kill the uglyness of dash kits once and for all. Ill let you folks know more about it after i get to play
on topic...don't forget about the rotating knob noise that eclipse is notorious for. ( the one in my camaro is driving me batty...hince getting replaced with w200)

I want to make that same jump as well
Have you had a chance to play with the IVA-W200 yet? Or you, joker? I'm curious to see how well it works--especially in controling the iPod. Major selling point for me. The 9835 blows for iPod integration. Well, it is okay but leaves LOTS to be desired.Ya, I am not a big fan of the deck control of the ipod on the 9835 myself, but the ipod is all I listen to. Usually I just pull the pod out of the glove box to switch playlists/albums when I want to. As for the the IVA-W200, I haven't had the chance to play with it myself yet. The ipod control is supposed to be better with the full speed control and on screen display, which is the main selling point for me. That, and that it will take up the whole double din so I can get rid of the pocket. Overall the specs look nice, and I can't wait to try it out. I am always pleased with their products.

Oh, right, I do something similar. I unplug my pod and set it songs, random and just hit next until I find something random that I want to listen to.
