5 Stars Alpine radio CDE-9874
This is a great product at an extremely competative price. When you buy alpine you know that your getting the best in car-audio quality, and this satisfies that idea to every extent. Great deal, Great Product.
1 Star Dont buy
This product was a total disappointment. Sent it back. There was a problem with the RCA outputs. It caused a loud clunk sound in the subwoofers, when changing soure inputs. The seller stated Alpine never has a bad receiver. I am telling you, this one was! I bought a Kenwood afterwards, great sound, no problems.
4 Stars Great for the price; good iPod control
I replaced the factory stereo in a 2001 civic with this unit. I am very happy with my decision — made after hours of Internet research, store-room testing, etc. One thing I don’t like is that the word “Playlists” on the display shows up with a space so that it looks more like “Playlist 5.” Every time I scan for a playlist (or song, or artist), I keep thinking, what is playlist 5? What is song 5? Etc. But other than that, it’s a great stereo… and that’s something I can live with.
Pros: simple to use/learn, good ipod control, percentage search
Cons: textual display (see comment above), can’t quickly switch from a song that is playing to another song in the same playlist/album (you have to go through the whole menu system again)
