I have long been an Alpine fan, in fact I won't buy any other audio equipment after my years of pleasant surprise with their quality and performance. This unit is a great upgrade to that boring factory radio. It comes with the USB Ipod connector, and is very flexible with it's settings and options. I like the fact that this years model, unlike last years, has a much dimmer main button array, where last years was a little blinding at night in the car. It also supports multi-color keys. We use this unit daily in my wife's vehicle and love it. I haven't had any issues with it yet after about 3 months.

this is an awesome headunit. I would recommend it to anyone that wants a quality sound system at an affordable cost. I got the ipod adapter and the ipod interface is awesome. Plus it has three outputs so I could connect up 3 amps, one for the subs, one for the rear speakers, and one for the front speakers.
AWESOME HEADUNIT. GET IT

I have had this unit on my Civic for 6 months, and absolutely love it. My initial plan was to buy this as well as some new speakers....but this little guy makes my stock system sound so good, I'm don't think I need them anymore. I was looking for a good, solid, quality, inexpensive unit with a CD slot (for those rare occasions) and a USB hookup. This is pretty much exactly what I needed.

PROS:
-Plays CDs (rare in units like this)
-Awesome sound quality
-Inexpensive (for a unit of this quality)
-Expandable
-Sexy

CONS:
-No 1/8in jack. I would like to have this
-Fast forward is slow......the preset radio buttons should skip to intervals in the audio file
-Expandable (Seriously....it is "ready" for everything, but comes with nothing. HD READY, 7 Band READY, Satellite READY, Bluetooth READY, etc. WTF Alpine, stop taunting me.)

tl;dr: This unit is awesome for the price. Get it, you will rejoice.
