Don't waste your money

The display is pleasant, clearly visible. I installed this head unit on my boat. I had an old Jensen radio that came with the boat. This is an '08 model. I installed a Rockford Fosgate amp and two Rockford speakers. it sounded very good. The only reason I wanted to replace the head unit is the display and bluetooth capability in newer units. I also ordered two more Rockford speakers for installation. I received the Alpine while waiting for the speakers to be installed. Needless to say I was…

Great Value - Car Radio Receiver

My wife had an old Alpine stereo but it didn't have Bluetooth. This unit used the same plug, so I unplugged the old one and plugged in the new one. Just please. Then all I had to do was thread the mic cable behind the dash and up the pillar to attach it to the visor. I did it in half an hour. The sound quality is excellent.

Pros
  • Smartphone Features: Bluetooth hands-free calling and audio streaming Control Pandora internet radio from iPhone and Android Built-in control for iPod, iPhone and iPad (see tab for model compatibility information). "Details"), built-in Android AOA control and charge some Android devices via USB connection, App Direct mode for iPhone, Siri Eyes Free control.

Pros
  • Expandability: Compatible with SiriusXM satellite radio, Inputs: Front USB port, Front AUX-in, Outputs: 6-channel pre-outs (4 volts front, rear, subwoofer).
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
