Opinions as to which to buy and why

i like my alpine

Alpine for performance, but if you want all that motion screen savers, then go with pioneer.

Which model do you recommend and does it have a steering wheel remote?

 

[VPStang]

I have had both--they are both good quality and reliable....i'd give alpine the edge though....

I personally like Pioneer,my buddy works for Alpine and tells me of all the warranty issues

I have a older model, Alpine 7894 that has never given me a problem since I bought it. I have owned 3 different alpines before this one, and never experienced any issues with them.

Unfortunately, Alpine does not make steering wheel remotes which sucks in my opinion. I really miss having a steering wheel remote, like the one I had when I owned a Kenwood unit.

Get a current model with mp3 functionality. There are also two ways to intergrate a ipod into a alpine be it the $100 module plug in or adaptor thru a cd changer input.

Good Luck!
