The Alpine CDA-9885 CD receiver's informative display and fast song-search capability make it a terrific stereo for iPod® users. The BioLite™ display stays legible in just about any light, while the two lines of text offer plenty of space for your song and system information. You'll spend less time looking at the display, and more time with your eyes on the road.

Add Alpine's optional iPod adapter to get fast, direct control of your iPod from the stereo and the best possible sound quality from your music. You'll love Alpine's unique "percentage search" feature when searching for songs on your iPod. It uses the radio preset buttons to quickly jump through sections of your playlist, getting you to the song you want faster.

If you're building a system, three sets of 4-volt preamp outputs send a strong, clean signal to your external amplifiers. A high-pass filter eliminates the low bass from your speakers, so they can focus on the mids and highs. Add in the Bass Engine® 2-band equalizer, and your car's interior will become a wonderful listening room.

For more listening options, you can select from an Alpine satellite radio, HD Radio™ tuner, CD changer, or an optional auxiliary input. The user-friendly wireless remote lets you make adjustments while you concentrate on the road.

July 11, 2008
Reviewer: Stacie from Washington State  
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 July 10, 2008
Reviewer: Laurie from Jay Maine  
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.


 
Great Unit! July 5, 2008
Reviewer: Greg from Yardley, PA  
This is a great head
unit.  The ipod
integration works
great.   The ipod
turns on and off
when the radio or
car are turned on or
off.  With the way
the Alpine is fully
integrated, you can
put the ipod in the
glove box or console
and only take it out
when you update
songs on it.  I also
love the subwoofer
control.  This unit
has three sets of
RCA outputs which
allows you to
control the
subwoofer volume
from the head unit.
When you scroll
through the sound
settings, the
subwoofer adjustment
is the first one
which is great
because it is the
setting I change the
most.  This unit
also has a lot of
sound settings that
eliminate the need
for an external
crossover.  You can
set the frequency
cut off to reduce
the bass that goes
to your speakers and
it also has a
feature which allows
you to increase the
sound in a certain
frequency range
based on your
preference.  I am
very pleased with
this unit.


 
Terrific product June 17, 2008
Reviewer: Gilbert from Los Angeles  
Like the title says, this receiver is terrific. I've had this for a few months now
and I haven't had any problems whatsoever. Initially, I was a bit leery about
whether or not it would fit into my car (Scion TC 05). Crutchfield supplied me
with the harness and kit, free of charge, and it fit like a glove! No problems
installing at all.

The iPod interface takes a bit to get used to, but once you've got the feel for it,
it makes life a whole lot easier. Plug in your iPod with the free cable, and you're
set! No need at all for CDs.

I'd definitely recommend this product. You can't get a better deal!


 
Great Unit June 5, 2008
Reviewer: Justin from Buford, Georgia  
This head unit is
superior for its
price range without
a doubt. Purchased
to improve the sound
in my 03 Dakota Quad
Cab, it works
excellent with my
infinity reference
speakers! It nails
all mid's and high's
like no other! It
supports the bass
well too considering
they are infinity
speakers and only
6'1/2s... But the
limitations are
solely within the
speakers; the unit
can handle far more!
I chose this after
comparing to the
Kenwood Excelon
series in both stats
and in person by
sound quality, both
of which this alpine
unit won easily!
Overall an
outstanding unit to
buy, and a great
company to deal with
due to their strong
support!
