Im curious as to why you say this? Is it b/c the glide touch makes it difficult? My model does not have the glide touch so would this make it better for the ipod? Im curious b/c I'm thinking about getting an ipod and the hookup for my car. Is the Alpine i=pod hookup still around $99?
yeah you should be able to still pick up the the adapter for about that price. it's the kca-420i. the newer decks use the kce-422i which is just a cable and goes for about $30.

Your posts need more detachable faceplates... at least some of their units have one finally.

Hey thats just my two cents but get the 9856 i say
I did look into those, but I love the Biolite display. After seeing it, I wanna stick to one that has it. The 9857 seems too pricey when I can get the 9835 or 9855 for alot less.

i suggest trying out both decks if you can find a place that has them on display. oh yeah the glidetouch has been known to stick or be unresponsive if left in the heat.

Well since both models are discontinued, no chance of that.
I think I'm going to get the 9835. I found too many complaints online after searching around about the GlideTouch.

wow, eclipse finally entered the 21century? maybe now i can finally look at getting an eclipse. sorry but that security cd thing is a joke to me. no removable faceplate just means a crackhead is gonna break your window and steal a hu that he will LATER find out he cant use. doubt anyone has peered into a car window and seen an eclipse hu and walked away cuz they knew they'd be wasting their time stealing it since they wouldnt have the security cd

Exactly. My brother and I had the same Pioneer HU. I always take the face off, even if I'm just running to the store quick, but my brother left his on, mostly because he didn't want to carry it around. Both our cars were broken into. In my car, the thieves took my amp, crossover, sub, and the PATS key I had under the dash for the remote starter, but they never touched the faceless HU. In my brother's truck the only thing that was stolen was his HU with the face still on.
ESN is not a theft deterrent. All it does is eliminate the black market for Eclipse products, which really only serves Fujitsu Ten's bottom line. They either need to put detachable faces on all their products, or extend their theft warranty to be at least several years, if not the life of the product.
