It will do almost anything you wish ... which is great for experimentation. 2way, 3way, active/passive, satellite,bt, top notch iPod control, stylish looks.... what's not to love!? It may take some time to become familiar with the menu structure, as it has a lot of features. But once you get some seat time with it, its pretty easy to navigate. The remote is a god send.... this takes tuning ease to the next level. The auto tune is a little meh, but I only realised this after some time. It'll get you close, and not sound too bad. But it can be improved upon for sure. I have no doubt you'll enjoy it, and have no issues with daily use!

I still can't believe I'm considering a $1200 HU, but a good friend of mine reminded me you'll spend that much or more by getting a SQ deck plus a nice external processor. I don't have a ton of room for external boxes, so the P99 will fit my application nicely. Glad to help! Lol Yeah, once you get it in and start seeing, and hearing, what its all about... the sticker shock goes away. I've been kicking around doing a basic function tutorial video for the p99. Just helpful setup stuff, show some features and menu navigation. Just to help new owners, or give potential buyers a look into it. I'm no expert, but I've answered enough questions, that I think it might be useful to new owners. Would this intrest you at all? If so, I could through one together....

I have the P01 (Japanese version), & once you get the hang of it it's soooo easy to tune on the fly. I agree with everything jcollin had to say about the deck. You won't regret it.

No need for an external laptop to tune or to mount an additional screen and/or processor somewhere. You will never need anything else. I bought a p80 before this and there's no comparison between the two. Wish I had saved that money and just got the p99 from the start.

I have to say it was a little confusing to navigate through the audio menu at first. After numerous reads through the manual and months of ownership I have the P99RS understood. The most useful feature of the unit is the remote. The dial controls are somewhat small and not the easiest to use. I mounted the remote to my steering wheel using the supplied bracket. You have full control over every aspect of your audio system with this unit, amazing. The iPod interface is superb. Easy navigation through the playlists. If you can afford it, buy it.

I, too, nearly died when I thought harder about dropping $1200 on a headunit. But I'm going to do it anyway. The damn thing looks awesome and I have yet to hear a single complaint about it. WIN. IMO, it's worth it even though I'll take a nice loss on my MS8 in the process. Oh well. ;D -Jordan
