This is my second Alpine product and its quite an upgrade over the CDE121 that I had previously. Ipod controls are relatively easy to use and the head unit is really loaded with many features. The screen is very clear and bright even in the sun and the Burr Brown DAC provides good sound quality. Features like Bluetooth can also be added on to the head unit using Alpines accessories but you must purchase them at extra cost which adds up as the CDA-117 is already expensive.
Great headunit for the money! Only gripe I have is that there is no seperate bass and treble controls. Instead, you have a graphic EQ that you can adjust. I like the Alpine 9886 that I have in my other car that you can control bass and treble. All in all this unit is the same as the 9886 with the exception of the bass and treble control. You get Ipod direct connect, you can add on a optional bluetooth module (KCE-400BT). Biolite Display and the Alpine name and quality!
I'm not going to give an in-depth technical review, but this is a great unit. I have used Alpine head units exclusively for more than 15 yrs and this is by far the best one I have owned. I added a 12 disc changer and an ERA-G320 sound processor/EQ using Ai-Net connections. The unit itself has a nice display and also works with my iPhone 4 perfectly. The only negative so far is the search function for the iPhone/iPod control is kind of cumbersome and takes some getting used to, but I'm sure this is the same for other brands also. This is the most versatile receiver I have owned. This head unit has great features for the money and I would recommend it to anyone.
Absolutely fantastic receiver. Quick with both the ipod controls and i have an easy time scrolling folders and songs thru usb. Sound quality is flawless, I am student of car audio and have had many fine eclipse units in the past. This Alpine unit has few flaws after 6 mos.. An easy purchase
Sound quality is great! Huge improvement from my stock player. Easy to use design, has a lot of customizable features. It will take me a while to learn how everything works, but I'm already enjoying it.
