alpine nav live traffic updates

For Sirius to work with the Alpine you need SIR-ALP10T Traffic Data satellite radio receiver unit. NOT the SIR-ALP1 The SIR-ALP10T was to be out in Nov. 2005 but it is not out yet. Hopefully it will be out soon. There are articals and pictures of the sirius SIR-ALP10T do a search on google or Msn.

Does anyone know where additional info can be found on the Alpine NVE-872A Nav System Voice commands (used with the IVA-D310 display)? The owner's manual is very limited, and I have found the system responds to many more voice commands than are listed in the manual. Additionally, as wonderful as this new nav system is, there really is very limited explanation & detail on the display itself, and the coloring and symbols, etc. etc. To me, Alpine is the best, but finding detailed informative data on the system is like pulling teeth! A good book at Borders would help a lot! Anyone who can point me to more info on this system??!! Thanks in advance! Mike in St. Louis

any word on pricing of the hce-100xm???

I think the HCE-100XM is going to be the same pricing as the SIR-ALP10T, of about $299. I have mine on order, and hopefully should be getting it this week. If you got a Alpine IVA-D310, NVE-872A and the PXA-H701, you WILL need the KCE-900E unit so that the NVE-872A can interrupt the PXA-H701 and add the audio to it. Took about 3-4 weeks to receive the KCE-900E, very hard part to get. But worth the wait.* Alpine IVA-D310,

* Alpine NVE-N872A nav,

* Alpine PXA-H701,

* Alpine MRV-F345, MRD-M1005

* Alpine Type-X 10"

James048a, I have the IVA-D310, and the NVE-872A, but not the PXA-H701. What is the PXA-H701 and what does it do? And... since I don't have it can I assume that I do not need the KCE-900E? Thanks... Mike

mse51, the PXA-H701 is an audio proccessor(eq,time alignment, Dolby 5.1, Pro-logic II, DTS, crossovers,etc). It is an awesome peice. But if you don't have it, then you will not need the KCE-900E. Yeah, it took a couple of days to get mine, and yes, well worth it. They are now on national backorder til February.
