I can respect anyone's hatred of a product. I'm on my second Pioneer Premier deck... at least it came with a 2 year warranty (and I had purchased via an authorized dealer). Its currently on a shelf, and I'm debating about even putting it in my new car..

So, Mr. Alpine (/s)

What would you recommend to replace my Pioneer Premier 980BT?

Pioneer USA - CD Receivers

Must have superior Sound Quality (I really liked the auto EQ function on the pioneer), Sirius satellite radio, and preferably Ipod connectivity. (no real *need* for nav/touchscreen)

Suggestions, so I too can be DONE with pioneer?

I personally like panasonic, clarion and kenwood (alpine just doesn't have the options I like)

Clarion VZ509

Panasonic CQ-C500U

Kenwood KDC-HD942U

Kenwood KVT-514

There's a few for starters

My 370Z head unit is the Pioneer AVIC-F700 and it is the most amazing all in one unit. The aesthetics, features and no need to watch DVD’s was the deciding factor. I have owned Alpines and Kenwoods in the past and for anyone to say that one is better than the other must have an alternative motive.

Alpine CDA-9887 all day would replace that, as I said I am done with pioneer. If you have good luck with them than by all means stay with them, this is just my choice.

Yeah, I was looking at comparing the Pioneer DEH-980BT vs the Alpine CDA-9887.

Having had an AVIC for a while (the D3) I was far from satisfied with the sound quality. The 980BT was a step in the right direction, curious if there is anything better in a different brand.

The D3 is 2 1/2 years old............that's like comparing the 350Z to the 370Z!

Haha whoa there. No need to be throwing out names.

I have a Civic and a Z. They're both nice cars.

But yeah, from what I've heard and read (of course I don't have personal experience with this), Pioneer used to be pretty good, but recently it's been going downhill as far as quality and features to keep up with the competition.
