What's great about it: great sound
What's not so great: didn't have my ipod cable attached when installed
Really adds value to my car. I love listening to it every day on my way to work and I can answer my phone too.

What's great about it: Looks and sounds great
What's not so great: Bluetooth mic reportedly not great on the other party's end
Bought the Alpine as a replacement for my factory stereo in my 2002 Dodge Ram so I could have bluetooth and aux input capability. The stereo matches the dash quite well with the installation, and the sound and ease of use is excellent. The bluetooth sound is a little metallic to the party you're talking to, but certainly better than most alternatives. I recommend it.

The system paired up with my phone quickly. Love I can use my USB thumb drive in unit. One drawback is CD player doesn't play MP3 files from disc...not a biggie since there's a USB.

Alpine has always been the best you can get when it comes to car audio systems. This system coupled with a beautiful set of Bose speakers live up to the hype. Great sound, quality and love all the features.

What's great about it: Everything
What's not so great: Only had a month, but haven't found anything yet
I drive an Audi that has a Bose surround system, the stereo I had was original to the car (1996) so there were many features missing that I'd like to have. My husband bought this for me after purchasing one for himself. I LOVE it. My bluetooth is always on when I start the car. The sound is awesome, people can hear me and I can hear them just fine. With the bose speakers this system sounds so good. My husband is jealous of how good it sounds. I set up a thumb drive and keep my ipod connected, perfect for long drives in areas that you get no radio reception. It is very easy to navigate, even I can do it. lol

Review 6 for Alpine 50W x 4 Apple® iPod®-Ready In-Dash CD Deck with MP3 Playback
Nice stereo, good sound
Customer Rating
4.0
What's great about it: Style and sound. Alpine quality.
What's not so great: Requires special cable to charge/play Idevice
This Alpine is a very nice middle of the road stereo with very nice features. I like the single color light, not a distraction when driving.
Note: it does not work with iPod/iPhone over USB, nor does it charge them. You have to buy a special Alpine proprietary cable for around 12-15 bucks off the web ( less than 1/2 cost from the retail store). This special cable plugs into the back of radio and DOES charge the iPod or iPhone. But, you surrender control of song selection from Idevice and have to use the Alpine buttons ( not fun). Therefore, I use the AUX jack to listen to music and the special cable only to charge.

Expectations met again by Alpine. Only shortfall is the almost useless USB port on front of the radio. Doesn't work with iPod or Android Device.

I've had many car stereos but this deck, by far, is the best I've had ever. The ease of functions on this deck is very simple and easy to use. I especially like the i pod input. This deck is xm/sirius ready but with the i pod who needs it. Highly recommend Alpine!

I mostly bought this for the ipod capabilities. And it does it well. Easy to use. I use the Alpine/ipod adaptor. Had to read the manual for all of the different buttons and settings, and there are a lot. The Bluetooth works very well. Better than some factory installed units. The price was just a bonus.

What's great about it: Loud and clear audio (music and phone)
What's not so great: Music search, loss of connection after phone call
Bought this to integrate my iPhone into my car and for the most part it works great. I do wish I could use the iPod function on my phone to control the stereo as the interface on the head unit leaves a lot to be desired. Too many button presses to search for an artist or playlist when a finger swipe is much faster. Another issue I have is when I receive a call, the stereo loses its connection to the iPod and I have to power it all down for a few minutes before it re-establishes the connection. This happens a couple of times a week.

I have had many stereos and this is one of the cleanest sounding without using a amp. The Bluetooth connect easily and sounds great. All the features are quick and easy to use.

What's not so great: Requires an alpine apple ipod adapter (Does not support regular apple cord)
I bought this stereo unit a couple months back and absolutely love it. When I got Geek Squad to install it, I got the matching speakers to go with it. Everything works perfect and the only downfall I had was is that I had to buy an extra adapter for my ipod due to the front port not recognizing a regular ipod cord. Other than that, my friends can't believe that it's only 250w speakers with no subs, each of them guessed that I had a 300w sub kicking in the back of the trunk but that just goes to show how good alpine quality is. Thank you Best Buy and Alpine!

What's great about it: Sound, design, blutooth
What's not so great: Front USB does not work with iPhone/iPod.
First off I would like to say this is a great deck. I wanted something simple that wont cause a light show in my car at night when I'm driving. It has a simple setup with just the necessary buttons, blutooth capabilities are awsome and integrate seamlessly with my car (bought the deck setup with Geek Squad and got it installed same day with flawless execution.) and sound quality is a huge upgrade from my stock Bose system.
The only downside to the deck was the fact that it said "iPod and iPhone compatible" with a front USB plugin. I have an iPhone 4 and was ecstatic about having a simple USB plugin to be able to control my phone through my deck and charge it at the same time through an easy access slot in the front. I got it setup only to find that the front USB port is only compatible with mass storage drives (Flash drives, etc.) and is not compatible with my iPhone. To be compatible it would need an additional $30 cable and have the deck pulled out and run from the back of the deck to the glove compartment.
Major sadface :(. I can still use my iPhone with the AUX but unfortunately no charging. I will eventually get around to buying the parts and just doing it myself but I don't regret my purchase. But just be advised, if you want this for the iPhone/iPod compatability, buy the extra cable with the setup.

well first off this deffinatley does tis job, but its too expensive. plus i find the user interface to be a tad inferior for the price. i would recommend coughing up an extra $60 and getting the kenwood kdc-bt495u. alpine tends to be slightly overpriced but like i always say to each his own.

What's great about it: does what its suppose to
What's not so great: menu options a little complex
i bought this to replace my factory stereo in my 08 Malibu, the cd laser went out in it. i thought my sound quality was good before but now its amazing, the aux input is great and the fact it will play all my burned cds. the usb port in the front will charge any usb device and play mp3s off a jump drive with folders. bluetooth handset is great if u travel alot. it will switch off the radio when you get a call so u can hear. i had it installed at bestbuy and it only took 45 minutes.

This head unit replaced my old alpine and this thing is awesome. I was a little hesitant to buy this because it was new.Sound quality is better than my old with more features. If someone complains about this unit it is only because they hooked it up wrong or their whole system is terrible. Also has a Bluetooth that syncs to your phone really easy and is pretty decent sounding. I could go on about the good stuff but I won't. Only thing I don't like is I wish the bottom buttons were blue instead of red and alpine should start stepping up to the plate by providing a remote!
