Will an Alpine iDA-X100 fit and allow me to close the radio door? I've seen posts for the X001, but not the X100.

If you had the choice between an Alpine 9886 and iDA-X100, which would you get? Price is not a factor and obviously the X100 does not have a CD Player. I am just having a hard time deciding...

 

I just installed my 9886...beautiful unit

I had to choose between 9886 and x100, as for the door , no problem with 9886

 

I've got the X001 and no door clearance problems. Other than some slight button position changes the X100 is the same shape so shouldn't be an issue, IMO.

Oh, and I don't miss CDs at all.

 

I have an x100 and it closes just fine. I chose the x100 because I feel that im done with juggling cd's.

 

I have the x100...door will close but I wait until I shut the motor until I close b/c sometimes it will push the enter button on the large dial.

 

really? Mine dont hit at all. Maybe you can push yours in some more?

 

Mine closes with no problem. Even if you are worried about it, you can always remove the face then close the door. I am in Love with this deck...My stock speakers even came to life!

 

How is the navigation of presets and satellite radio tuning on the IDA decks? I've read reviews that it's a pain. Any insight?

 

sorry. all i listen to is my ipod. but navigation through that is a breeze!
maybe someone else can chime in that uses satallite or the radio. I dont even have my presets set. lol

 

I have x001. Navigating to presets of FM and XM channels is a PITA unless you have the numeric remote. With the remote you can just press a number (1 through 6) to select the preset. Other than that, it is a great deck. I haven't even delved into using my USB thumb drive yet, but I am sure it will be sweet as well.
