Re: Alpine CDA-9887

I don't own this particular Alpine deck, but, my dad has an Alpine deck in his van that is probably 9 or 10 years old, and it still going strong. I mean, things are just now starting to go strange (volume control sometimes turns down when you go to first turn up, LCD screen dimming, but that's all usual).

I would reccommend Alpine.

Re: Alpine CDA-9887

I've got the 9885 and it's a great unit. I wish I had known the 9887 was coming out, I'd have waited for it for the extra features.

Re: Alpine CDA-9887

I have the 9857, basically last years model of the 9887 and I love it, I will never own another brand deck again. Alpine all the way in anything I put a deck in.

Re: Alpine CDA-9887

Alpine makes the best decks out there, remember....you never hear any rap singers saying that they're bumping to their Kenwood, or Pioneer. Alpine is the only company that I know of that still sell replacement parts to repair decks that are 20 years old.

Re: Alpine CDA-9887

Alpine all the way for me. I plan on buying a 2007 CD deck as soon as the 08 models come out because they will be cheaper. Im trying to located a CDA 9856 as we speak. If I have ANY advice to give, its to STAY AWAY from the decks with that slide glide button crap. They are notorious for not working

Re: Alpine CDA-9887

It really depends on what you want it for. Overall it is a rather good deck, but the ipod interface is less than desirable and some of the features are difficult to find. If you are looking for something with a nice ipod interface, pioneer probably has the best one i have found so far. For an extra hundred or so you can get the pioneer 7900BT which has bluetooth built and a much easier ipod interface. If you are not worried so much about the extra bells and whistles like ipod and bluetooth, its a good buy for the money.
