What's great about it: Sound quality, price, iPod feature.
What's not so great: For the price you pay, there are no cons.

"This Alpine CDE-9874 CD receiver is what I bought for my work vehicle. The stock radio in my Ford E-250 didn't have a CD player, just radio. So it was time I added some options to make work a lot better. Owning an Alpine before made this decision very easy. Right out the box, your getting great Alpine sound quality & a nice price to go with it. This is a very basic model, but has plenty of features to please most. The iPod feature is great! I bought the optional iPod cable so my iPod can be charged while playing. It was well worth it! This is a good CD receiver if your looking for a direct replacement for any basic stock radio. Now work is a lot better & with my iPod music is limitless."

What's great about it: Easy and quick set up in Car
What's not so great: Screen changes when I don't want it too

"Good purchase, have it in my gf's car and she likes it too. Simple enough for the non tech savy to work it and works great for radio or ipod or whatever you need it too. However sometimes I wish that it would just stay on the screen i leave it at and not state all of its capabilities over and over (when I know them because of how many times it repeats them)"

What's great about it: Sound Quality, Ipod ability, looks
What's not so great: really cant think of any

"Alpine has been my choice in car decks for the past 8 years. Im glad i still decided to continue that by getting another alpine.

This deck has style and class! For the money it has to be one of the best if not THE best deck on the market. It has excellent AQ, convenient Ipod connectivity, great build quality, decent power handling, and a good ole detacheable faceplate for security! I love how i can change the LCD display to the Alpine blue, or the newer red! nice variety. Anyway this is a great choice for anyone who does basic car audio listening functions!"

What's great about it: clear loud deck
What's not so great: too much midrange-weak treble

"I had a pioneer deck that burned out. This deck was to replace it.I only used the rca outputs. The deck was clear and loud but the midrange is overpowering with my fosgate amps. The loudness boost setting seems weak."

Worth Every Penny   06/25/2008
By AlpineGuy

What's great about it: Looks good, easy to use, well priced, Surround Sound!
What's not so great: none

"I replaced my factory deck with this Alpine and would I would use this deck in every vehicle I own down the road! It is well worth the money for the quality sound you get from it. Installing this item yourself is also easy as long as you have some ideas as to what you are doing.

This deck works very well with mono channel amps running subs as well. The interface is pretty basic yet you can go more advanced in controlling your sound!

If there was anything to complain about it would be that the manual is on a CD, not on paper so you have to print it out yourself."

Great radio for low price   04/30/2008
By cable2fiber from Spring,tx 773

What's great about it: Good value
What's not so great: interface could have been designed beter

"going up to the bestbuy with only $160.00 "mad money" to spend on upgradeing the terrable stock radio that came in my new "used" 2000 ford mustang. Relizeing how compliacated it can be to install new radios in older cars I op. out to go ahead and let them install it. so I was getting lean on spendable income. lets just say I didnt manage to go over my redline amount to throw down of $200.00 and got the good people to ajust the priceing slightly to make it possiable get this radio get the optional Ipod connector and have it all installed with a 1 year warrenty within my range and !! GOD it sounds so much better. love it"

Epically Perfect Ipod Ready Audio Player   04/29/2008
By ramzin from Walnut Creek, Ca.

What's great about it: Easy to use and great sound
What's not so great: cannot control music directly from the ipod

"I had this player installed by Best Buy's Geek Squad and they did a perfect job. This affordable easy to use Alpine car stereo was the exact purchased I hoped for. And although you cannot control your song selection directly from your ipod, Alpine made it easy to select the song, artist, or album from the player itself. I would recommend this car stereo to anyone looking for an affordable and user friendly ipod ready car stereo."

Best Car Radio   04/28/2008
By apeski from Blaine, MN

What's great about it: Awesome sound
What's not so great: Mute button doesn't completely mute

"This is the best car radio I ever had except for one in a lincoln town car I used to own. However it needs more presets; it should have 12 AM/18 FM. This is the best quality product for the money."

Outstanding Stereo!   03/07/2008
By Fastball47 from Oklahoma

What's great about it: Price, sound quality, looks.
What's not so great: Owners manual only comes on CD. You have to print it.

"I bought this Alpine stereo mainly because I heard it in a Best Buy store and it sounded great. I wanted a stereo to play my Ipod through. Put it in my Hummer to replace the stock radio. I also had Geek Squad install the Ipod connection. I was surprised by the incredible sound through my factory speakers. Ipod connection is perfect, and once you learn the buttons, you'll love this stereo.

Looks awesome at night with the red and blue backlighting. Great sound for any price, but especially for this price! Can't go wrong with Alpine, they are the Kings when it comes to car stereos. I think I'll buy another one for my Escalade.

My only complaint is the manual which comes on a CD. I like having an actual book I can take with me when I'm near the product. But, 30 pages of printing later, I had one.

Overall, a smokin bargain if you are just looking for quality sound for your Ipod without a lot of useless bling."
