it's my understanding that there are no more buttons on the bottom but rather a glide touch like a mouse pad





don't know about the 9855 but i just upgraded to a 9835 from a 7982 and the sound is a bit cleaner

That has to do with tags. Alpines with the biowhatever display (such as the one you got) can have many characters on the screen at once. Thus, songs containing less than 3 lines in their title will fit. Regular alpines with LCD displays, (the ones that look digital) are limited to I think 6 or 7 characters at once, and will "roll" the song name.

looks like NFRs2000NYC is correct on the ipod title info

"Consumers can quickly search and listen to their iPod tracks directly from their head unit, or remote control, eliminating the need to handle the iPod while it
