Anyone know if alpine (mine is 7893, i think) have internal battery for clock/ settings?

 

My 9813 does not. It loses settings after battery disconnect.

 

They do not You can burn all your settings onto a Cd-r though and upload them

 

I wish that were the case with my 9835. I can burn all the iPersonalize settings, but I can't keep radio station names and presets stored, or anything like that.

 

Ooooooh, I did not know we could do this! I guess it's time to RTFM!

 

Yeah, Alpine's iPersonlize feature is really cool.

 

The website is unnecessarily confusing to figure out I think

 

Have you checked it out recently? They redesigned it so that it'd be more intuitive for the average Joe to figure out. I really like it. Timing control can be input in centimeters or inches, instead of just figuring out milliseconds. The crossover control is also pretty cool.

Only thing I haven't figured out is the parametric EQ. It seems to be very robust, and I'm not really sure how all of that can be figured out sitting at your computer, instead of listening to it in the car?

Edit: Not saying it's still really easy to figure out, but I remember checking it out over the winter, and it was WAY worse than what it is now.

 

I will have to check it out again, give it a second look
