I'm not an ICE guru, but one thing I can advise is if youre really not a Sony enthusiast please refrain frm using a Sony HU.. why?

I dont know if its just me, but Sony HU's CD lenses are very sensitive and prone to break down. Before this I was using pioneer MP3 HU (DEH-3650mp) for 4yrs with no issues, then early this year I decided to use a Sony HU (CDX-GT450S) for my other car and after 3mths it already had issues when trying to play my CDRW's (hard to read).. went to claim warranty but now still facing the same issue.. again.

I cant comment abt Alpine HUs but frm what ive heard they are quite reliable and functional players, but recent Alpine designs (400-600 price range) seem to be less appealing... imho

If i were you i'd go straight for the pioneer players. They are very reliable, sounds great (even with stock speakers), very well functioned, and quite pleasing to the eyes. If u have the 'extra' cash why not take the DEH-6950 IB (rm680.. seen selling in garage sales).. Damn cool and i think its worth the money with loadsa functions (USB, ipod support, etc)..  it also comes with an blue OLED display!

Try to ask around summore for feedback regarding these HUs.

All in all its all up to you to choose, cause its your money. but frm my experience with pioneer for all these years, I wont change to any other brand again..

cheers!

i'm a hardcore supporter of pioneer because i think their HU last long and also can play almost all CDs... pirated or original or burned CDs...

so my pick is always a pioneer...
