Although Im not the biggest car stereo geek, I was impressed by Alpines new touch-screen stereo system. With large text and easy-to-use buttons and interface, this stereo integrates your music with maps and anything else youd want to have in your car. Although the system is definitely drool-worthy, the $1100 price tag is pretty much out of my price range, but if youre looking to drive in style or you spend most of your time in your car, like most Angelenos then Alpines got the stereo system you want.
Was looking into this model until I saw the Kenwood DNX9960. The Kenwood blows this thing out of the water. Everything you'd want to do with this Alpine unit has to be added later: Bluetooth, HD Radio, Satellite Radio, Audessey auto-calibration, etc. Those things aren't cheap either.
