I LOVE this headunit. The sound quality is amazing. Got mine on sale for like $150. Only thing i dont like is that when you hook up your ipod you have to go through your list on the headunit and not the player itself.
Best deck i have ever bought! This has every feature anyone could ever need! Sounds great with my subs. My truck is complete. Alpine everything!
Extremely clean and flat sound, all instruments come through with great imaging. Replaced an Eclipse 3100 and so far sounds better in terms of imaging and bass quality. Not as warm sounding as the Eclipse which has a mid range control that the Alpine lacks. Peripheral devices-bluetooth, xm, etc.-all extra and costly. Also have Alpine 9884 in another car which looks better-not as cheap, replaced by the CDA-105. Alpine not as good as years gone but still for the sound quality the best out there.
Nice looking deck. Easy to figure out nice display lights. Like tony said only thing is you have to go through the songs using the deck and not the ipod which is a bit of a pain. But overall worh the money.
