    CNET Review

    November 29, 2007

    The Good: The HD Radio-compatible Alpine CDA-9885 features a stylish faceplate, a great music navigation interface, and rich audio output.

    The Bad: Its clunky external HD module is a pain to install, and it adds an extra $200 to the stereo's price tag, making it a pricey package.

    The Bottom Line: The Alpine CDA-9885 combines attractive styling and an easy-to-use music search interface with a host of expandability options, including HD Radio capability. However, those upgrading to HD Radio will have to deal with a clunky module and a hefty price tag.
