Spec wise, they are similar.
WVGA screens, LED backlit.
IPod speed is similar. We use a percentage/alphabet search, they use a slick looking scrub bar.
Built in Parrot BT for both.
Built in HD Radio and lifetime Nav Traffic
If you are adding SiriusXM, ours is easier and cheaper. And has play, pause rewind functions.
Our menu system is classic Alpine, which to many looks old fashioned, but side by side (especially when driving) it is the easiest to use. Poineer has greatly improved their user friendliness is recent years though, and the 130 is their best piece ever.
Visually in the car, nothing will look as cleanly integrated as the W910 with a Perfect FIT kit as far as contours, finish, screen to panel gaps etc.
We can't come to market soon enough, I know, but we want to be sure everything is perfect before it gets out the door.

So this is the only response i see about the delay in the dash kit.
Honestly the lack of communication on things like this have historically been a tell that they will stall out again. Otherwize Alpine would be getting us excited about a release one month from now.
I am going to have to take no reply as their reply at this point. If i dont hear anything by the end of next week i will have to assume they are saying it is going to be longer than expected after longer than expected. At that point i will begrudgingly go with Metra.
Fingers crossed!! Ive waited so long already.
