I am looking to find someone with a good connection to get a discount on some new car stereo equipment I want.

Here is what I am looking for:

Alpine IVA-W200 (head unit)
Alpine KCE-422i (ipod full speed cable)
Alpine TUA-T500HD (HD radio)

Also looking for the XM radio component if there is one, I might just be able to use an aftermarket one but I don’t know.

 

Would HD radio thing even be worth it if you gonna use satalite radio? I haven't listened to normal radio in my car since i got Sirius.

and to spark some debate...

Sirius > XM

 

XM has MLB and I like there Blues station much better, nuff said on that topic. =)

And I was more interested in the price of the HD component. If it isn't that much more I would just add it on, if it is you are right I would just stick with Sat Radio.

 

I guess your arguement for MLB is valid, haha. I got it for the heavy metal station cuz XM got rid of their's when it came around to getting Sat. radio. But then I heard about Stern going to Sirius too so it turned out like an added bonus for me. Then just recently XM added their metal station back, but I am a lot happier with my Sirius.

I been hearing a lot of things about XM falling drastically, mainly stocks and such. I keep hearing rumors of clear channel buying em out or even Sirius. but just all talk right now.

 

Not to try and induce more off topicness...but I would say that I am more of a fan of Sirius. Stern. And Sirius has better comedy channels.

And Radio Disney!

haha.

I would also agree though, that the combination of HD radio and Sattelite radio might be strange. I mean, the HD ones are just local channels. But I barely listen to local radio anyway.

As for your stereo stuff...I'll try to keep an eye open. I don't really know any good audio hookups. Sometimes there are some vendors on here that will be able to get goods deals. Keep your eyes on the sponsored sales section.

 

I was able to get that all really cheap, but have to wait for each best buy to be finished, as I get cost on items every time my father's company (which he works for)finishes one... within a couple months the next one is going to be done... until then, it's patience...

Deck $650
Ipod Cable ~$20
XM Adaptor Setup and Antenna Setup ~70
Wiring Adaptor for the tC ~$2

 

Thanks! That would be awesome, but man... nooooo I want it sooner then later. =)

Keep my updated... thanks!

 

that is an awesome price for the deck.

 

Alpine will be at exposed..... they hooked up a car and will have a display etc.! You may be able to talk to them Directly!

 

I have XM and haven't listened to AM/FM since. I like the service (except there are a few channels which are now playing commercials). I wish I had HD radio too as I'd like to listen to local stations with better sound quality (I can tell the difference now when I toggle between XM & FM). Also, I was spoiled once with an HD equiped car rental because it tells you the song and artist playing. I wish I could listen to my XM and get the same information

 

^^ that depends on the deck... i had a kenwood excelon deck (dustin now has it) w/o HD radio tuner (its hd-ready tho).. yet it displayed song/artist/radio info.... where as my eclipse avn-5435 doesnt.... unless you have the HD add-on

 

exposed in seattle?

 

yes.... north parking lot of Qwest Field

 

My stock deck in my matrix displayes the artist and title but then again so do the dj's.

 

If you can get that deck for that price let me know and I will buy one I am going all alpine and have been trying to find a good deal on a deck.
