actually, none.

The 9855 is the last high end head unit that had all of the features that made the 9835 a favorite. None of the new units have the built in DSP processing (crossover, EQ, time alighnment, etc ...) or things like adjustable alumination, and I think even 4v pre-outs is missing on the latest alpines.

The ipod direct control sounds nice, but other then that, I think Alpine went in the wrong direction for '06.

so you think a good deal on a 9835, would be best? How is the high speed ipod cable compared to the KC-420 or whatever the previous box was. Is the 9835 compatible with the new high speed cable?

I had a 9855 with a 420i. It was not my cup of tea as far as ipod control goes, especially with the glide touch.

The ipod high speed is only compatible with 2006 model decks.

I got rid of my 420i, and the 9855 is going in my daily driver , an 02 Buick Regal, along with a Harman Drive+Play for ipod duty.

For my Firehawk I now have a Pioneer P880PRS. It has built in eq, crossover, time alignment, etc ... and I plan on pairing it with Pioneers new ipod adapter as well, which is now only $50. Will probably be awhile before I have it up and running and can report back on how I like it, since right now I'm concentrating on the system for my Regal.

no, I've never had the chance to play with their double din units. Can't say I've really heard any feedback from them, good or bad either.
