Alpine CDA-105

Alpine has always been known as the "Cadillac" of radios and this radio is no different. I am 100% pleased with this product. I have heard bad things about the interface but I had no problems working it; if you are tech savy it will be no problem!

Alpine CDA-105

This is a okay buy for my first Receiver. But it has no remote, Why would I need a remote? It's just right there. I guess if your outside of the car & want to turn it up. no USB Cable Extension included. I did have a USB Extension cable that was laying around & Tuner Don't work that good, I don't tune in to FM radio that much anyways. I did find that the sub vol was low so I just changed the setting Subwoofer System from 1 to 2 & sub vol is at 15+, still kind of low not sure if its just my setup. When I turn off sub the amp on Receiver the sub amp stays on but no sound. My bro's Receiver turned off the amp. I guess it's a good thing that the amp stays on because it will turn off the 4CH amp too. I would of like it if there was 2 REM wires for sub and 4CH.

QUALITY

If you want, great looks, awsome quality, and amazing sound this is the product for you. You get Alpine sound that is next to none and the features that are great.. Another amazing product from Alpine.

great deck

great sound quality, this is the 4th alpine deck i own, never had a problem with any alpine products i have purchased over the years. the last one lasted 6+ years

Nice little unit for the price

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.

Awesome

I really like these speakers. They are really loud without requiring an amp. They are responsive and overall amazing for the price.

Awesome

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

Fantastic unit

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.

Alpine...

This thing is still going strong after using it for over a year!

Great product

Wanted to upgrade my old Kenwood HU and I heard really good reviews about the Alpines. This HU is great. The only thing I don't like is the fact it doesn't come with a motorized face and you have to buy a separate BT module.

Another great Alpine product

great update to previous model---IPod controller feature works great with on screen display--would definitely buy again

alpine cda-105

great unit easy to work. Ipod feature with alpine is the fastest i have ever used. If you buy this make sure to get the ipod cable. over all pretty good unit eventually traded it out for a pioneer 880prs.

its ok

had this alpine 105 for about 6 months when i first got I was excited.. but theres really nothing special about it. I think you can find something nicer for the price for... yes you do need a remote ...and the tuner sucks

alpine cda 105

great deck just wish it had a remote, its a alpine so its great

Best headunit

I bought this headunit replacing a JVC double din headunit i had in my civic. And i absolutely love this one!! I had the CDA-9884 and I thought that headunit was really good, but now that I came to this one, am really happy. Makes my type R hit much better then the JVC. ALPINE FTMFW

good radio

I've had every type of head unit you can name but hands down alpine is the best you can get good radio and there sound cant be beat only thing I dont know about this radio is it does not come with a remote???

Awesome, Great Value

Priced the unit at B*** B** @ $199.99 plus installation kits, came to $258.98. Sonic's price was 179.99 including the installation kit. I had just upgraded the speakers in my Jeep Cherokee to Alpines when the factory Mopar unit started having difficulty reading burned CD's. When it stopped reading them altogether, I brought a handful of them to B*** B**, tried them all in this unit and they played super. This Alpine is powerful, with concert hall sound that will blow you out of the vehicle. The buttons are a little small and once you get used to the logic, it's pretty simple to operate. Found the blue lighting to be very bright at night, even when dimmed, otherwise - fantastic unit.

Great Radio

I will never buy another radio other than Alpine. This has great sound quality and is the greatest radio I have ever owned. If you can get this radio, get it, you'll be happy you did.

woohoo!

Okay buy, Some thing is wrong with my tuner signal. But it is okay for playing cd's & USB MP3s.
