I have the 9856 which is basically the same thing with a little simpler display. I LOVE it. It sounds great and is really simple to use. The Full Speed iPod hook up is the best iPod interface of any aftermarket HU by far. It is farily easy to navigate and is lightning quick. If you're not looking to spend $350, the CDA-9856 is right around $200 and if you get it from crutchfield it comes with everything you need to hook it up. You can't go wrong with an Alpine.

Put in another vote for the 9856. I don't have an ipod hooked up to it yet, but so far this has to be one of the best head units I've ever had.

Im partial to Pioneer decks.. I have owned 4 all together... I had the 9600 in the past and I sold that a while ago and I now have the 6800 and I love it... But now I am waiting for the new 9800bt to come out so I can ****** that up.. It has a bluetooth wireless receiver right in the cd player...

Yep. I put a hole in the back of the pocket under the radio and ran the cable through it.


That's my nano on the left.

I have the Pioneer 6800 and love it. It works perfect with a MP3 player due to the front auxilery port. You don't have to drill holes and can unplug the cord whenever.
