So I know I just posted a week ago about my Factory HU+ Dension ICE Link setup... But I have to admit, it just wasnt good enough.

So I had the ICE Link swapped out for an Alpine CDA-9855+KCA420i iPod interface setup.

I have to admit, that with the new headunit the MY05 factory speakers sound really great. Like so much so that Im not in a hurry to hook up the separates. The next step for me is definetly getting some sort of rear channel either SPODs or the Headrest speakers...

Anyways here are a few pics of the CDA-9855 in my car...

Enjoy

Ridiculous welcomes you


The iPod sits in the same spot as I had my ICE Link so I didnt have to have anymore holes cut.


Finally a nice close up of this gorgeous deck Tilted out a lil bit...

 

I want to purchase a 9855, but that glide touch thing is too God damned stupid. Whoever came up with that should be urinated upon by fat, smelly, hairy men.

 

lol, Tell us how you really feel!!

It took a day or so, but Im used to it now. I can operate it no problemo. I will admit its annoying as hell at first...

 

nice! for heeding the EJ's advice.

I have to admit, the stock 04+ speakers really sing with a high power alpine.

and to think some people change out the speakers first.

 

I have the 9853...and I actually really like it...some adjustment required...but it's a cool toy

 

Actually you know...I find the MY04+ tweeters a bit too bright for my tastes. I may be able to compensate some but I think buying the new HU has only sped up buying new speakers...

BTW.....where's the wired DCI when we need it *prod* *prod*

 

I woulda thanked you in person tonight Willie Gee but you didnt show! We had fun at Dexters without ya.

Alpine+MY05 Stockers 4 teh win!!!11!!!!!!1

As for brightness, im in love. I cant get enough cow bell!!

 

No its not stupid, it works really well. (unless you're a fat, smelly man with urine on your fingers). I also found that changing the stock speakers was unecessary, and that's before playing with the sound enhancement features.

 

definitely need more cow bell! give me more cow bell!


looks nice.

 

Did you have the dash controls hook up too?
