    CNET Review

    April 17, 2008

    The Good: The Alpine CDE-9874 features a clean faceplate design, intuitive navigation for digital audio files, and inexpensive iPod expandability.

    The Bad: While it has plenty of options for connection to external components, audio quality via the system's built-in amplifier can be unrefined at higher volumes.

    The Bottom Line: The Alpine CDE-9874 is a good value entry-level car stereo, perfect for those looking to play homemade MP3 discs or iPod tracks. Audiophiles might want to look a bit higher up Alpine's lineup.
