USB interface not quite what I wanted |

If you want to search for and listen to a certain artist or particular song on a USB stick, forget about it. When scrolling through music on a USB stick, it displays the folder and file number instead of anything useful. You can change what "tag" is displayed, but there is an unbearable delay before it shows this data.

Consider upgrading for FM reception |

I am not an audiophile, but wanted a receiver with a front aux in, so I can play pandora from my droid phone. Before I went to Crutchfield, I bought one of those FM transmitters - it worked sorta okay - but for any long trips, it was a pain because you have to keep changing stations. I looked at Crutchfield, and chose this Alpine because I didn't need any special features, other than the aux input. My car required fairly extensive work to get it installed, and changing out a number of pieces that Crutchfield supplied, and it fits perfectly. I am returning it within the first 2 days and upgrading to the next one up which is the CDE 121. The CDE100 has very weak FM reception - the stereo light blinked on and off for most stations - the stock radio did much better. When I called Crutchfield, we tried to check the FM sensitivity spec - and it isn't even listed on the 100, even on Alpine's site. The 121 is 9.3, which the salesperson said was quite good. Of course, dealing with Crutchfield is a breeze, but highly suggest you get the next level up if you go with Alpine.

This head unit is great, easy to install simple to use with out all the annoying extras. Cd player, Aux and USB are all you need these days. my only disappointment was the usb would not charge my iphone, i know it says not compaitible but i was still crossing my fingers that it might atleast charge it since its a standard usb. works perfect for thumb drive and the aux you can use anything to play music that has the standrad jack, iphone,ipod,zune, blackberry, even a portable tape player if you really wanted to haha. i recently had a cdplayer installed in a diff vehicle by bestbuy and was not going to pay that much money again. so i decided to just do it myself and im glad i did. it was a piece of cake. i am horrible with electronic wiring and stuff but was still able to figure this out with ease. crutchfield makes it easy with everything you need except you may wanna purchase some wire connectors. worked 1st try, love it

This is a very easy to use, high quality system. Super simple to install and easy instructions. I have always loved Alpine and Crutchfield did not disappoint! I especially like the usb and aux inputs. Great job!!!
