my bday is coming up and i want a head unit for my car. I plan on getting the ipod interface for an alpine receiver also, but in a later time. What is recommended for an alpine head unit for 2-400 range? Thanks.

 

i'm actually looking at the cda-9855...anyone know much about this...thanks

 

IMO, hard to get a real good HU for $400... an in the new Alpine line not sure if that gets you 4V out.

 

But the 55 is good.

 

well the 55 is 360ish on ebay new and 379 on savinglots.com so thats what i'm looking for

 

my buddy just picked up the 9855. you should def go into a store that has it and mess with the new slider function. i personally don't like it. i have the older 9835 and i love my HU. athought the 9855 has some more tweaking abilities i was not a fan of the slider. but i read that ppl get used to it and i only messed with it for 45 mins. but def play with it before you buy it.

 

Hey Hornyleprechaun
I have the Alpine 9833 install just last week, 2004 model, love it it has the two line display.

 

I agree, If you are looking to get the 9853 or 55, definately make sure you are comforatable w/the glide-touch because it is frustrating and dangerous to mess with on the road if you are not familiar with it.

 

Get a 7909.

 

9833 rocks i love mine and i have the ipod interface. if you want to buy mine i might sell for the right price.

 

aight thanks for the info...i'm gonna go into best buy and see which models they have to mess around with them..then i'll decide

 

i got the 9853 and suprisingly like the glide feature. Takes a little bit to figure out but it's nice

 

i <3 my 9835
