Good iPod Ready Head Unit
By Ben Abney
I bought this for my wife's Honda CRV after the in-dash CD changer failed (as they all do, in my experience). She is very happy with it, especially its control of her iPod which is tucked away out of sight. I prefer Blaupunkt's approach where one uses the familiar iPod touch screen to control that unit, but this one is nice. It will also accept satellite radio and bluetooth add-ons.

Great sound, nice Ipod integration
By Patrick Madigan
I bought this as a replacement for my factory system which had finally given up the ghost, and because I wanted a decent front end for my Ipod. As a receiver and CD player the Alpine CDA-9885 does a fine job. Being able to play MP3's from a CDR is also a nice feature, something that my factory stereo couldn't do. I didn't upgrade my speakers or add an amp, and I think that most experts would recommend this. But it still sounds better than what I had before.I was impressed with the Ipod integration. The only limitation seems to be that you can only see a few lines at a time. Feature-wise, it's got everything that you need, once you get used to the interface. The Direct Search allows you to jump through the long lists of Artists or whatever you're searching by, so you can zip down to what you want quickly.Overall, this is still better than fumbling with the actual Ipod while trying to drive. It's a crystal clear audio connection, vs. what you'd get using an FM adaptor for the Ipod. And it charges the Ipod, as you'd expect.An Ipod purist might want to spend an extra hundred or so and get the Alpine model that has a full Ipod screen on it. But for most of us, the CDA-9885 is a good way to go.

Face plate comes loose and display goes off!
By Trey Ethridge
I've had this unit for about 5 years. The sound it produces is really good. This is the second Alpine radio I have had in a vehicle. However, I won't ever buy an Alpine again! The iPod adapter won't charge without adding an extra adapter that doesn't work very well. The face plate doesn't fit well either. When I'm just press the buttons to operate the device, the face plate will turn off. All the lights and buttons cease to work. Then I have to push on it at different angles until it starts to work. I've tried cleaning the contacts on the back of the face plate with alcohol, but that didn't help. The face plate issue is a common problem. I've asked at a couple of radio install shops and they say that it happens a lot. Avoid this radio!
