Reviews of the Alpine CDA-9857

CNET Review
The Good: The Alpine CDA-9857 offers AI-Net and integrated iPod support, making it very expandable. Its navigation interface is good, especially for large music sources, and its accompanying KCT-100BT Bluetooth module supports A2DP.
The Bad: The unit took a minute or two after we hooked up large music sources before it would allow navigation. Its Bluetooth module won't allow for a really integrated-looking installation.
The Bottom Line: The Alpine CDA-9857 is a solid but unspectacular single-DIN car stereo. It really gets interesting when expanded through its convenient AI-Net port and dedicated iPod connection.
