    I’ve read LOTS of reviews for stereos and after all, I’ve decided to go with Alpine! Mainly because they have more positives than negatives! Ofcourse. Easy to install and fits my dash perfectly! I’m very excited and happy with my purchase! Also It’s pretty loud which I love! Music plays great, Bluetooth connects perfectly ! Must read the manual to learn things but thats what manuals are for lol! Hopefully it runs for a long time for me!! Came with wire harness as well!!

    Great Alpine quality at an excellent Best Buy price and fast delivery. This awesome unit replaced an old AM/FM cassette radio in a 91 BMW 325i. The installation took about 2 hrs, most of the time identifying the leads from the old wiring harness and shrink splicing them to the Alpine's wiring diagram due to non matching different colors. It worked on 1st power up, including raising the power antenna, pairing the Bluetooth to my Samsung Galaxy, and even setting the display color to match the red lights on the dashboard gauges. Great product tech Alpine and Best Buy!

    I went to Bestbuy and knew what i wnated. It was actually 15 cheaper then I expected which madw it better. I got set up with the install all the same day. I couldn’t be more happier with how it looks and sounds in my truck. I only needed it to connect for bluetooth to play music off my phone. Its connects right away and i love that i can-talk through the mic when i get calls. Sounds crisp and clear. I’ve purchased alot of things from you all and you never disappoint.

    A great Car Receiver

    So the Little Microphone that came with this when mounted properly worked very well with the receiver. I drive a 1998 Honda Civic, but I can take phone calls when I drive. There is a bass-boost type function, with fills out the bottom end, if you don’t have a subwoofer. I have mid level 6” speakers in front, and mid level 6x9”s in the back; the Alpine deck definitely improved the sound from the lower range Jensen deck it replaced. The face of the deck is removable, and the ability to change the colors of the already cool-looking face of the deck when lit up. All in all, for $99 this is a great car receiver. The Alpine looks higher quality than all similarly priced receivers I saw. Quite frankly, if you want lots of bang for your buck, this is the way to go. There a lot of other features I don’t use, and it integrates with Pandora as well. A great digital experience with what’re device you choose (probably your phone). No complaints, a great deck.

    The instructions were very clear the installation was very easy and it works great. It hooked right up to my Android phone and remembers it when I get in and out of the vehicle. It works wonderfully. And I really enjoyed the way it's able to be customized with sound and the colors on the display.

    You can never go wrong with alpine. I bought a cheap unit trying to save money however the haste just wasn’t worth it. As the old saying goes you get what you pay for. This unit is an all around great buy. The price isn’t bad at all. The quality is outstanding. Wish I would of just bought this unit to begin with.

    I bought this after the bluetooth in a previous head unit died. The most important feature to me in a car is handsfree usage of my phone, and not having handsfree was a deal-breaker for me. So first, the good: If you've already upgraded your head unit in your older vehicle, chances are this is going to be an easy swap for you. The worst part is you'll likely need to change the microphone out, but that shouldn't be a huge deal if it's not your first rodeo. Sound quality is terrific for a sub-$100 head unit. While it doesn't have time correction or a multi-band parametric EQ, it does have the basic settings you'll need to adjust (bass, mids, treble) and a high-pass filter if you either like your music loud and don't want clipping or you've invested in a subwoofer. This head unit has 3 sets of pre-outs - front, rear, and subwoofer - which will allow you to control where the audio goes should you choose to use an external amp instead of the built-in speaker outputs. Bluetooth allows for two separate phones (or other devices) to easily be connected. USB allows for both higher-quality audio output from your phone (or other device) and easy Bluetooth pairing (there's a menu setting that uses USB to pair your iPhone or Android phone easily). Bluetooth HD Voice is also supported, so everyone using VoLTE, FaceTime, or other telephony and video chat apps that can use HD Voice will work as advertised in terms of sound quality. No CD player so there's no CD player to break. iPhone audio controls are supported OoB so you don't have to run an update to support play, pause, skip, fast-forward, random, and repeat on your iPhone running a newer version of iOS. Adjustable faceplate lighting so you can match or contrast your dash lights. Now the bad: The default blue clock setting is difficult to read. It can only store pairings with 2 devices at a time. Buttons are small. No advanced audio controls beyond bass, mid, treble, and high-pass. Hands-free button isn't obvious on what it is. Mic gain settings are a button instead of a menu item. Unit gets very hot during usage and could benefit from a cooling fan. Looks like a CD player even though it isn't. All in all, it's Alpine quality as always.

    Easy to install. Alpine decks always give great sound and performance. Buttons are always on the small side. This deck is no different. Read the manual for sound adjustments and connecting your bluetooth device. Color can be changed to match your car. Once it's done this deck delivers great sound and looks great in my car.

    This Alpine does the majority of what anybody wants in an in dash system. Sub level control, high and low pass crossovers, blutooth (and pairs phones easily), siriusxm, dimming, microphone works well when making or accepting phone calls etc. It does it all for around $100 too. Sounds excellent has more than enough features and works great. Highly recommend.

    Great Media Receiver For The Money

    I got this installed today and it's a major improvement from the stock stereo I had in my second generation Honda CRV. Not to mention the fact that everything is being streamed and I could get rid of all my CDs! It takes a few seconds to pair with the bluetooth but the sound quality is pretty good and from what others tell me, the sound quality on the microphone for phone calls isn't bad either. :)

    Upgraded the sound system in my commuter car with this stereo. Sound is clear and loud. Preamp outputs great for the additional Amps that were added. Great and easy to use functionality. Hard to beat this for the price.
