Alpine CDA 9856 - Fantastic Audio In Your Vehicle

By Alaina Dainack


This really is the best stereo I've ever had. The sound high quality is superb (even using the factory speakers in my Civic). The very best function is the fact that I had a wire run into my glove compartent so my iPod hooks straight towards the stereo...much much better than the awkw...ard fm transmitter dock I was utilizing. I was worried concerning the speed of the iPod controls on the deck. I had read several poor reviews of the Pioneer iPod interface adapter. The typical complaint was that controlling the iPod from the cd deck was painfully slow. Since I've 45 GB of music in my iPod, I did not want scrolling via music to become a problem. The sales associate in the shop assured me that scrolling via tunes would be quick and easy. I am sooo glad I listened to him. Simple to use, great sound, pleased customer! Read more Much less

I just lately purchased and installed one of those bad boyz. The quality is top notch, but it's a little as well a lot energy for my Infinity Refference speakers. This alpine cda 9856 is greatest for somebody who is planning on or currently has a subwoofer. It's a effective deck!

I'd recommend alpine even if you didnt want ipod connectivity simply because it's such a great brand. I've used JVC, Sony, Pioneer in the past and alpine sounds much better than all of them.

The ipod interface is unmatched by any other vehicle audio business, period. it is the only company that provides full speed ipod control (no lag through an external ipod adapter, which can price as much as $100) and an extreemly simple to use interface.

The ipod controls are nearly precisely what you see on your ipod screen (which is replaced by an "///ALPINE" Logo when plugged in and tucked away in a glove box) except there is only one line of text. You can do artist searches, playlist searches, song searches all withot lag. And yes, there's a method to just shuffle all of the songs on the ipod. The ID3 tag information is displayed on the display also.

The only factor i could recomend apart from this head unit, is the CDA 9857 simply because it features a 2 line display (a dot-matrix style display) but i couldnt justify spending an extra $150 just for that (that's, indeed, the only difference). The single line display does just fine.
