Just wondering what show all the new mobile audio equipment is released at? I want to see what the manufacturers have in store for us in 2003.

Is there anything specific that you are looking for?
Let me know and I'll look for it and let you know.

Kenwood Excelons, I like the 959, however I might hold out for a '03 model!

Yes, I'd like to know about the new Alpine and Kenwood decks and whether Kenwood has a CD changer that reads MP3's (not the Music Keg).

Oh, and whether anyone else is developing amps like Blaupunkt's Class-D technology.

Thanks for the help.

Yep. That's a pretty darn sweet lookin' deck. Unfortunately, no user manual or anything available on alpine's site yet. If the 2-line display makes navigation through mp3's easier, I may just have to put one of these on my shopping list.

Yeah, I'm curious to see if any of these decks have the elusive alpine wired remote jack on the back.

yeah not much info on them. i'm curious if any of them have the dual-color buttons. i like orange better then the blue or green. i'm not completely sold on all the little icons in the display, seems hard to keep track things. i like the dual line display. but i'm still happy with my 7894

Rob, lots of Class D amps out there. JBL, RF both have one.

BTW, sony has a MP3 CD Changer. Not available in Canada though. I am thinking about picking one up next time I am in the US or ebay.
