[QUOTE=flyfisher1216,Feb 27 2006, 02:02 PM]I have a question about the Modifry DCI--what do I order and is there a trick to connecting it?

 

Yeah, I am also kind of confused. So when I order the DCI I should also order the wiring harness to go along with it, correct? I got a wiring harness from Best Buy, but from what I've read I'm under the impression that the Best Buy harness is lacking a couple necessary wires.

Is this correct?

Thanks,
Dave

i got this deck installed in my 4Runner over the weekend.. it is AWESOME!

now after I get these posts figured out about the DCI for the S2K, that's my next move

and after the 9857 comes out

 

So just to confirm, the the Alpine 9856 HU does not have the Modfry DCI direct wire link. I was under the impression that most of the newer HU have the connecter available for direct connection with the DCI. The 9856 HU must use the IR DCI connector, yes?

I am about to run out the door and get this HU. I love the features; and, with a 4G Ipod Nano, I will have no need for a Mp3 CD changer. Two questions though,

What speakers should I use to replace the stock ones?

and

Should I get an external Amp, IOW is the HU enough to power the recommended speakers?

Thanks

 

Nice looking deck How is the full speed iPod connection? I am considering an upgrade, yet I dont own an iPod ...yet

 

Mike, the connection is as fast as the IPOD itself.

 

I never experienced the 420i, does it make that big of a deal that it is worth upgrading? Did you consider the 9857 or is that still MIA?

 

It makes a world of difference from the 420i. If you have a lot of songs on your IPOD, the 420i is impossible to work with while driving....simply waaay too slow. I didnt need the 57, I dont care for the fancy display. The 56 was more than enough for me. In fact, I recommend all people who have the 420i to upgrade to this.
