5.0 out of 5 stars Great Buy for the Money!, February 8, 2009

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice unit, good sound, poor display, limited ipod connectivity, May 9, 2008

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.

It's a great unit but, all the features are ad ons. It's set to except only apple ipods and I know there are fifty other brands. I had to use an fm transmitter.Sound quality is good . A little tricky setting a station.
