Do you love PANDORA® Internet radio? You're not alone — millions of people enjoy creating their own stations and discovering new music with PANDORA®. Alpine makes it easy for you to take your stations on the road with the CDE-123 CD receiver. Just download a free app, connect your iPhone®, and you can dial in PANDORA® right from your dash. Dedicated "thumbs up" and "thumbs down" buttons let you rate songs on the fly so PANDORA® knows what songs to play for you. You can even create a new station right from the CDE-123 while something you like is playing.

Two USB inputs for maximum flexibility
Alpine gives you USB inputs on the front and rear of the CDE-123. That gives you all kinds of playback options — you could dedicate the rear output to your iPod, while leaving the front slot free for a thumb drive loaded with digital files. Or your friend can connect his iPod to the front input while yours remains attached to the rear input, then you can use the CDE-123 to cycle between players. With two inputs, you won't need to disconnect your iPod when someone else wants to play a song for you.

Add satellite radio
Put the endless entertainment of SiriusXM Satellite Radio at your fingertips with the low-profile SXV100 XM tuner. You can pause and rewind live broadcasts, and get a heads up when your favourite artists or teams are playing on another channel. And with an iPod connected, you can tag songs for purchasing later in the iTunes™ store.

Boost your power and add on to your system
Three sets of preamp outputs provide convenient connections for your amps and subs, and you can use the subwoofer level control to dial in the right amount of bass. Then dial in the right sound using the 3-band parametric EQ, or choose from one of the six preset options. One more cool feature — this receiver works with Alpine's Power Pack, a compact box that hooks up easily to your receiver, boosting its power from 18 watts up to a serious 45 watts RMS per channel.

Want to keep your steering wheel controls?
In most vehicles, you can use an adapter to connect your vehicle's steering wheel controls to this Alpine stereo. Connect a few wires, then program the adapter for your particular car and the Alpine, and you'll retain the convenience of your steering wheel controls. Check the "Accessories" tab for compatible adapters.

Note: If you're going to use your iPod with this receiver, be sure to check "Details" for specific iPod model compatibility with this receiver or its optional iPod adapter.

Gotta Love Alpine! May-12-12
Reviewer: Shugduff from Tacoma, WA  
I have owned several Alpine head units over the years and they continue to impress. I purchased the CDE-123 after comparing against similar models in price and thus far I am not disappointed to say the least. Great sound quality, ease of use and functionality. If Alpine is good enough for Ferrari they're good enough for my old truck.


 
Very nice unit May-06-12
Reviewer: Ray C from Santa Maria, CA  
This unit was a great replacement for the factory Alpine unit in my '05 BMW 330ci with a few exceptions.  The sound was an upgrade from the factory Premium Sound.  The iPod control worked very well, and being able to switch to iPod Direct control was a great added bonus.  Everything was easy to access once you knew where it was.  Even the SAT radio sounded great, and it was nice that it used the brand new Sirius XM tuner which is much more compact for install.  My only complaints were more asthetic than anything else.  The blue display is the only color available and is very bright, which 1) doens't match my factory BMW orange illumination and 2) actually can be distracting during night driving, especially for driving over an hour.  Also, the fact that it's only a single line of text is less than desirable especially if using the SAT radio, since you can't display the station number, the station name, the artist or the song simultaneously.  But the sound quality was amazing which is the reason I have decided to stick with this unit over the other three that I tried.  I highly recommend this unit, especially at this price point (and if you get it on sale, you can't beat it).

Solid performer April-26-12
Reviewer: BobT from Copperas Cove, TX  
I have had the component for almost two weeks. It has been a pleasure to use from the beginning. Everything works well, though the configuration could prove confusing to some. Coupled with 4 kickers I also purchased from Crutchfield the sound quality is great. Next needed is a sub-woofer to push up the bass and fill the sound out. The SiriusXM functions great with the adapter purchased through Crutchfield.  Great service and fast.
