Are you still liking this unit?
I think sly runs a 80prs.

I've been reading a lot about HU today. He mentioned once that he might go from the 998 to the 80 PRS but haven't seen any other post about it.
I'm almost sold.

Alex is last I knew. I would in a heartbeat if it was satellite radio ready. Still running 998 until something better pops out with as good of a screen. No longer need 90% of the audio features it has. All have their pros and cons of the 3. The 80prs is the best but has a unique function on the dsp of it that is a love hate thing. Kenwood more user friendly and both have a nice display. Apline is solid but lacks the sizeable display and is not much less than the Pioneer iirc.

The 80PRS is an audiophile radio with a VERY VERY flat neutral sound to it. You need to know how to EQ to get the right sound from it. The screen also sucks in the sun as it's tiny. I've ran the PRS and wouldn't recommend it for a non-competition bike.

If I didn't have so many issues with the 998 I would stick with it.
I just gave up.
