Great HUD
Written By zx10rrider, Western USA on Wednesday, June 24, 2009

I purchased this unit two years ago, and it still operates like new. Looking at the price and features of "improved models" available for sale today makes me dread the day I have to replace the CDA-9885. The face plate is very durable, I seldom use the protective case supplied by Alpine. Almost every aspect of the unit is well designed. I have an Ipod and Sirius unit connected to the back of this unit, both sound great, and are a cinch to operate through this unit.

Pros:
Great sound from any source.
Easy navigation utilizing Ipod, Sirius, playing CD's etc.
Large bright, clean, clear display.
Simple, well placed controls.
Lots of connectivity options.
Easy to use owner's manual.
Full Sirius Radio control from the receiver.
OEM steering wheel control option (with third party connect).

Cons:
Blue color illumination option to bright at night (red option is great).
6 RCA jacks on back are to close together.
Volume knob separates easily from face plate.

One thing I dislike about Alpine is that to add a satellite receiver to this unit one must buy their adapter and hard wire it to the vehicles power source and ground the adapter. Manufactures such as Kenwood requires only a simple cable connection between their receiver and Satellite radio adapter, no additional power source is required.

I am very pleased with this unit and highly recommend buying it.

Either the previous poster got a defective unit or just isn't putting the face back on right. I'll admit I had some trouble getting back on when I first got mine...it takes a few tries to get the feel. This is phenomenal head unit! I've had mine for almost two years and it has performed beautifully. My favorite features are the easy to read display, WMA/MP3/AAC compatibility, and file search features. My only complaints are the limited background effect options (only 4) and not being able to turn the back lights off in tuner mode. Minor stuff really. If your looking for an awesome receiver with great looks, THIS is it!!!

FACE FALLS OFF
Written By Gary, Texas on Sunday, December 14, 2008

The detachable face lasts about 6 to 8 months before it turns into a total
pain the the neck !
If you use the feature you will be dissapointed, the set up to reattach it is
very cheezy small plastic bump fits into a small plastic gear to hinge.

The sound is VERY GOOD but the face will frustrate you without a doubt.
Sometimes it just falls off as you close it to play your CD.
You will have to pull over and find it and reattaching it while you drive is
impossible without crashing......LOL
I suggest finding a unit that does not have to drop the face everytime to
load a cd.

Alpine CDA-9885
Written By Stacie, Washington State on Friday, July 11, 2008

I have the Alpine CDA-9885 in two of my vehicles and I love it! I originally had it installed in my Santa Fe August of last year and loved it so much I bought a second one to put in my Jeep Wrangler. It's very easy to use and has tons of great features. It is very easy to use your ipod while driving because you can control it from the deck itself. The only downside is that the remote isn't as useful as I would have hoped. The Blue Tooth phone is great, especially here in Washington where it is now illegal to use your cell phone while driving if it's not hands free. I highly recommend this deck!

Impressive
Written By Laurie, Jay Maine on Thursday, July 10, 2008

I purchased the alpine cda 9885 to replace the shaker 500 that came with my 2007 mustang. I am very please with the unit, it is far beyond what I expected from an after market stereo. The technical support people are very pleasant, helpful, knowledgable. I will definitely be purchasing a new set of speakers from Crutchfield and I will have a very nice set up.
