I can't remember, I pre-ordered and got it for a discount I think. I had to buy an amp for it too.

I got everything in now, and my traffic does not work. alpine says I need a splitter to run from the HD tuner to the HU.. What a pain, after i got everything all back together.

Anyways I still have not gotten the sub yet, How much watts are you pushin to the ED? and is it even worth it?
System sounds pretty good with factory speakers, and no sub running off the HU amp

I have 220w going into the sub and it definitely hits hard if I turn it up. I upgraded all my speakers though, plus they run off another amp, so the difference from stock is night and day all around.

Nav mix works fine for me, it's in the headunit settings. BT works too, but everyone complains about background noise so I don't use it.

So recently the nav display has started turning yellow when docked. It's a problem with the connection because the other modes look fine (ipod, dvd, etc) and the screen on the Blackbird itself looks fine when not docked. Of course it's out of warranty - anyone else have this problem?

What's the hard reset? I hit the reset button on the Blackbird since I have to do it every other day anyway due to it locking up.

Yes I even sent it to them and they said nothing was wrong, which is BS. One of the problems it has is that if I turn on the POI icons, it shows all of them even if I turn off a certain category, so I have to turn them off completely or else the screen is overloaded.

you would think you could reflash it or something to clear that up.. maybe call again to get another tech.
