I have this unit in my 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee with an Infinity system and it is great. The people who complain about the brightness obviously did not change the LCD contrast, which makes a huge difference.
If you are looking for a great entry level head unit then this one is very hard to beat.
The only thing I wish it had was a remote, but that really isn't that big of a deal.
Excellent buy. |

I was shoked when i first time put it on. The bass is so strong, tremble is very clean and high! The sound is very "tasty". But when i switched on the loudness.... it was extraordinary! But! I live in the Europe and i have some trouble with the radio. It programmed on american radio standart, so it don't find some radio station. But if you live in the USA you will not have this problem.

I bought this unit because I had another Alpine unit in my other vehicle and really liked it (CDA9857). Although the sound is what you would expect from an Alpine it still needs some work to make it an excellent product.
My complaints are 1) The display only shows one line for the song or artist or album, you cannot get artist/title which my other unit does.
2) It does not shut off the iPod when you turn the ignition off on the car. I drained the ipod twice before realizing this. I have a 4th generation iPod, so it may work correctly with newer ones. My understanding is that there may be a special cable that fixes this problem.

TERRIBLE DISPLAY!!!

HAS A TERRIBLE DISPLAY!!!
Uses a display with little dots which cannot be seen on a bright day, and ESPECIALLY if you are wearing sunglasses. These dots are set to SEEM bright enough in a indoor display area, but get it outside on anything except a perfectly straight angle (who has a radio at eye level?) and forget it! The display cannot be seen!
Also avoid Al and Ed's as they will sell you this knowing it cannot be seen, then charge you a second install fee to replace it!
