What's great about it: Lots of ways to connect exteranl audio
What's not so great: Bluetooth audio can be a little fidgety but it might be my smartphone
Well made and great sound. I'm generally very happy with this stereo. Can use USB flash drive, iPod/iPhone, and Bluetooth audio. Phone quality through bluetooth is very good- some people don't haven't noticed a difference between my headset and the car stereo.
The only thing that's a bit spotty is the bluetooth connection for music playback. To be honest and fair, it could be my phone, not the Alpine. Won't know for sure until I get a new phone.

What's great about it: GREAT PRICE FOR AN ALPINE CAR STEREO
What's not so great: BLUE TOOTH
Pros:
THE RADIO ITSELF IS GREAT. I HAVE LISTENED TO THE RADIO A FEW TIMES. MOST OF THE TIME WHEN I AM DRIVING, I LISTEN TO THE MUSIC ON MY PHONE THROUGH THE BLUETOOTH. IT WAS EASY TO INSTALL AS I ALREADY HAD AN AFTERMARKET RADIO IN THE DASH. RECEIVING AND MAKING PHONE CALLS IS EASIER NOW THAT I HAVE A PHONE THAT SYNCS WITH THE RADIO.

Cons:
SOMETIMES THE BLUETOOTH WILL NOT WORK FOR MY MUSIC ON MY PHONE, WITH HAVING TO EITHER RESET THE RADIO OR SEARCH FOR MY PHONE AGAIN. ALSO, SOMETIMES WHEN TALKING TO MY DAUGHTER, I HAVE TO TURN THE BLUETOOTH OFF SO SHE CAN UNDERSTAND ME. ALL OTHER CALLS ARE FINE.

What's great about it: Set up is easy and intuitive.
What's not so great: No- radio data system
Have deck for one week. This went in easy(self install) once you have correct mounting harness. No need to connect pink/black wire in most situations(useful info for self install), Simple and reliable sync with BT phones(iphone4) for music and phone. BT Mic sounds great even with window down(mic cord is really long, which allows to put any where u wish). Only down side is no radio data system= no artist or song name on the tuner face when radio is playing. I thought this was a pretty simple feature. Not having this on this feature laden deck was surprising, even my old stock radio from 2005 had it. Looks like alpine doesn't have it on several if not all decks. PS kids love to control music thru iphone from back seat.

What's great about it: Sound, Bluetooth Streaming
What's not so great: Takes a while to learn the settings and menu options
I was trying to decide between a Kenwood deck (more expensive) and this one. I chose this one because Kenwood did not offer Bluetooth audio streaming. Boy did I make the right decision.
The sound quality is awesome! The Bluetooth phone connection is better than expected. The bluetooth audio streaming took this unit far beyond the other deck I was looking at.
The only issue I have had so far is that it has taken me a little while to review and understand the menu options. There are many ways to configure this unit to your liking. Very good unit at a very good price.

What's great about it: Good price
What's not so great: Difficult to figure out how to use it
The installation was handled well enough. The sound quality was not quite as good as before. However that is probably because I have not finished adjusting it. I found the menu system to be overly complex. It will probably be quite simple once I figure it out.

What's great about it: its great , i like it
i just purchased this unit and have them installed . I am really impressed with the sound quality and the ease of use of bluetooth. After your device is paired once, as soon this unit is on, it will automatically connect with your device. Sound quality is great when you play pandora radio. I hate wires , i prefer everything wireless. The phone feature is impressive. You just press the phone button and it will automatically activate the voice command on your smart phone , you can speak to dial any person on your phone list . Works great with iphone.

What's great about it: Easy opperate and sound quality
What's not so great: No problems found
This Alpine stereo has everything I was looking for in a stereo. Origanoly purchased a JVC with HD Radio built-in wich was very dissapointing. Found out this Alpine stereo was coming out with already good reviews. This unit has great bluetooth connectivety and great sound for both caller and person on other end.. I have had two other Alpine units in other cars. This one is even better than them. With the external mike clipped on my visor there is very little back ground noise from my diesel pickup. Also being able to have different volumes set for music and bluetooth calls is a very nice feature. Sound quality is awsome on any source of music. Deffinatly recommend this unit.

What's great about it: almost everything make sure you have (streaming bluetooth)thats the new and best one out right now.
What's not so great: could of came with at least sat/ready or sat/built in
I love alpine! they make there units very easy to use.
alpine dont play when it comes to parts only the best I think.
the bluetooth was the reason I brought this unit and I may say that it might be better then the new bluetooth units that come stock right from the factory when you buy a car/truck. over all you cant beat the price for this unit I only wish that it had sat ready or sat built in and if it was sat built in this unit woud be the best out there.
I have played with a lot of units and this is by far the best for easy to use your mp3,cell phone, or your ipod/ipad/iphone controls on the unit and the bluetooth is just great....

Customer Rating

I've done my research for about a week before purchasing this unit. It was this, 2 pioneer and sony head units ($129-229). All with bluetooth and ipod capable which is on top my my list of features. This by far had the best reviews on bluetooth clarity inside the car and also people on the end. I'm now one of those believers. BT was so easy to setup with my iPhone and HTC.
Audio quality overall exceeded my expectations. EQ presets and the ability to customize it was a plus. I have basic Focal components and this was a perfect match.
No ability to add XM/Sirius radio within the unit but it's no big deal to me. I love Pandora. If you stream from a smartphone, there are so many apps to stream radio locally or nationwide stations to your car.
No remote but again no big deal to me. It's well within my reach while driving.
Alpine quality is just amazing. Layout is simple and easy to read during the day and night. Simple to operate.
I was able to purchase this with a 10% discount plus a $10 rewards giftcard coupon for purchases over $100. So for around $140, I think it's one of the best buys so far this year.
You'll hear a big difference if you're moving up from stock. You'll love it even more if you upgrade your stock speakers as well.
