That 8500 that you're considering is a step up from my 8400. It's all a matter of taste, but I think the extra money is well spent to have USB and SD card access.
Not to mention the bluetooth and detachable face security. I have yet to play with the Mixtrax feature or anything else yet.
without a doubt you want to spend the extra money and get something decent... What I was talking about is the fitment issues and having to cutting the vents and stuff... some people are not comfortable with doing stuff like that
I know what you mean man. I'm comfortable with the process, but not skilled enough to do that myself.
My go-to guys are ca1242 and cynical wry. They do all of my audio and video. I love those guys. If you have missing clips and screws that were hidden, your car would look like new after they're done with your installation.
Not sure what the 8500 has over the 5500 but I have the 5500 in my MDX and it's fantastic.
