It's actually a pretty good HU for $200, lots of features.

It is not Alpines entry level HU, that would be the CDE-9842, then the CDE-9846 and the CDE-9852, the CDA-9820XM is the next in line and the price almost doubles @ $400 US. 94

 

thanks for the advice.. i talked to the sales guy and he said that this unit has the same functions as thee more expensive one just without the flashy screen and the motorized face... and the cord for the ipod is only 30 not 130 like the older models

 

yeah thats because you dont need the KAC-420i anymore, the fast cable ipod feature is now built in on the CDA series decks. all you need is that able now for 30.

That's the deck I'm looking at!!!

 

For the price, it's hard to beat, especially when you weigh in the $30 cable.

 

If you don't have an iPod, of course, go with the 9846 instead and save a few bucks.

I just installed it and I'm in love!!!

 

Its a hot seller at bestbuy. I can barely keep it in stock. Its a very nice unit. I like the full speed cable also because of course its the fastest ipod connection out there and it leaves the ai-net plug open for xm or sirius.

are you using the full speed cable?

 

yes im using alpines full speed cable.

 

Worst case you got a bad hu or cable. Dont want to sound like a dick. I know guys dont read the man. so just want to know if your doing it right.

Press the button that has the 3 papers on it. (in the middle of the up/down arrows)
use the scroll to pick inbetween playlist,song,art. etc...(Aka Volume ****)
Use the left and right arrows to pick the song
then hit play.

 

i figured it out , i read the manual and tried to follow , what the manual DOESNT say , is that you have to take it out of mix mode , i didnt even know it was on lol . but you have to take it out of mix mode to access the songs and playlists.

 

haha.. i had the same problem ... i was going to tell you that the mix mode is the problem.. lol

that was the next thing i was going to tell you. but i congrat. you for getting up and trying to find out what was wrong!

 

I was looking at this HU until i noticed taht it didn't have a wireless remote. I'm one lazy bastard so i moved up to the 9851 which has the remote for $30 more.
