 Alpine CDA-9887Sep 29, 2009
The Alpine CDA-9887 receiver is a geat unit. I had a Alpine receiver in a Mustang some time back and was very happy with the performance. Having a Pro street F150 truck without an audio system was a good time to use Alpine again. Both the receiver and amp are Alpine and work great together. The signals are strong and I have all the flexability I need. I listen to classical and rock & roll so I need a system that is adjustable. Just swing open the doors and you have the ability to have a concert. The speakers are not Alpine but are very good in taking the great input and putting forth the sound.
Good Head Unit but needs improvement...Sep 20, 2009
Since my first car, all I have ever purchased are Alpine products. The sound from this head unit is phenomenal! The Imprint technology (whatever that is) is incredible. I bought this with the intention of using the iPod connection as to not carry around so many cd's. I am somewhat disappointed in it's iPod use. The alpine will charge the first generation iPod but would only play 2 songs. It will play all the songs from my fourth generation iPod but will not charge it and it doesn't work with my iPhone.
The controls are somewhat confusing but once you learn which buttons to push, it really isn't that difficult. (get used to alot of button pushing) and try doing it while trying to drive! I have yet to try the bluetooth. Trying to remove the face and put it back on is somewhat difficult. I liked the motorized face. BE VERY CAREFUL with the faceplate, it scratches VERY easily. I'm still trying to figure out the panametric and graphic EQ stuff. The power from this unit is sufficient. The ability to change the colors of the buttons is a feature my wife and kids like.
All in all, for the price, It's definitely worth it. I will no doubt continue to buy alpine for my cars...

 So many menus... Watch Out!!! Alpine CDA-9887Jul 16, 2009
I have owned a few Alpine units and each new one gets more complicated then the next. The CDA-9887 is by far the most annoying of them all. I mean the sound quality is ok but they nickel and dine you to death with all the extra things to have to buy in order to have basic functional EQ! Buy the time you finish getting all the things you need to run this system properly, you've spent $750.00 and that dosen't include amps speakers wiring installation fees. Lets face it, if you don't have that stuff, this system sounds just plain dull. Now for my major gripe... If you're driving along and find the EQ needs ajustment, you'll have to pull over to do anything. The display is confusing and the menu is buried inside other menus. Let's not forget this is a unit for the car... Need I say more? ..Okay I will. ipod stays on when you turn the unit off. This is 2009. I just think Alpine cut a lot of corners on this one and the ones they didn't cut they expect you to buy as extras when they should be included like basic EQ functions. Bass, Treble, Midrange!!!
Great Head Unit!!!May 15, 2009
I bought this to work with my 1st gen iPod touch, and with the KCE-422i cable, it works great AND it charges. I've read a lot of reviews where people are complaining that it doesn't charge, but with the 1st gen touch, it does. However, it does NOT work with my roommate's 2nd gen iPod touch.
Overall, the sound quality is amazing. Best head unit I've ever had.
Some unwelcome changes, but still a great sounding AlpineMar 09, 2009
As I said, it's an Alpine, so it sounds fantastic. Don't need to go into detail there.
What I will comment on is that I do not like what they've done with the face. When you insert or eject a disk, you push the "Open" button and the face comes down manually (no longer motorized), then to eject the disk you have to push another eject button on the inner face. To remove and restore the face to the unit requires an awkward process that makes me feel like I'm eventually going to break something by accident, a difficult procedure in the dark to line the face up properly. With my previous Alpine I could do it one handed with a blindfold, very sturdy with a sturdy operation; this one, I feel like I need two hands to guide it on properly with flimsy feeling pieces. I'm sure they used to get too many warranty claims on the motorized faces (I never had a problem with mine) but I miss the motorization and I miss the tilt face feature which made it easier for me to reach the controls and made for a better viewing angle. A few steps backward on this model unfortunately. Unfortunately I'm one who will buy whatever Alpine throws at me, within reason - lol I wasn't able to swap my old V-Drive unit out of my old car before I sold it, otherwise I'd still be using it. (oh yeah, I miss V-Drive too)
