Plays All The Medias! March 30, 2008 Babak (San Diego, CA) 14 out of 14 found this review helpful
I just installed a CDA-9886 in my car. I have always used Alpine products and loved them and this one is the best I have had so far. It plays everything, MP3, WMA, ZUNE, IPOD, AUX and best of all USB. I connected my 3rd Gen Ipod nano and it worked just fine. I have heard people have switched back to 9885 because 9886 does not turn off the ipod when you switch the car off. It may be fixed in the future but this is no issue for me. 9885 does not have USB capability and this is important as far as I am concerned. USB flash drives have no power concerns, lots of storage for cheap and so convenient. Why would you want to leave your ipod connected to the deck anyways? Thieves would break into your car for less than that. Anyways, if you need a nice looking HU that plays all types of media and offers some of the best features available today( bluetooth, voice dial..) I really recommend this unit.
issues June 7, 2008 pinflap (Plano, Tx United States) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I have been using Alpine for years and was looking forward to another upgrade to this unit. Initially I was fairly happy about the results until the next morning. I was searching a song on the ipod and got a "error 01", this has never stopped. Alpine blames ipod and ipod blames Alpine. I can use my ipod with everything else, including my Alpine in my truck with no issues(truck has CDA-9883). Upon further digging, I have since found numerous others with the exact same issue on the CDA-9886. So, if you're planning on this being exclusive to your ipod, be prepared to send it back a few times before getting one that works. FYI
Everything I Expected October 25, 2008 Gerardo Madera (PR) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
The Alpine CDA-9886 is just about everything I expected. I installed in my Toyota Corolla 2005 with Panasonic 6 ½" front speakers & 6"x 9" rear speakers. I use an iPod Nano 4GB 1st gen. version 1.3 & USB San Disk cruzer micro 4GB.
After the settings its sound great, the display is easy to read. The controls are very easy to use. The iPod & USB controls are fast and easy to use. Don't purchase the Full Speed Connection Cable (KCE-22i), you could found this cable inside the unit box :( Now I have two KCE-22i :(
Good sound, lacks EQ and has poor nav November 21, 2009 Harry Zweier (NEPA, United States) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Fundamentally, the sound quality is great. I like the 4 volt pre-outs because I'm using a separate crossover and two amps. Overall the sound is excellent. But the menus--ugh, not at all intuitive. I have three major gripes: 1)No mid EQ--WTF? Both of my former Blaupunkts had treble, bass, AND mid EQ and for less money. With this thing, you need to buy the extra "imprint" system for lots more $ just to have a mid tweak. I always prefer a slight cut in certain harsh mid frequencies and now I can't. 2)Ipod navigation can be brutal on a big collection--for instance if you know the name of the song but not anything else, you can go to percentage search with the numbered (radio station preset) buttons and narrow it down to a section of the alphabet, which can be a pretty broad section, say A-G. But now you have to scroll through all the A to G titles one at a time with the dial, which seems endless. Who has that much patience? Couldn't they find a way to let you go to a LETTER? Also if you're down the hierarchy of folders, say, from artist to album but want to go back up to artist, you have to start all over again from the beginning of search mode--no way to just "go up one level" (left) as on ipod navigation itself and as on my last blaupunkt. 3)Most frustrating: If you are navigating and hesitate a bit too long, it times out and you have to go BACK to the beginning of the whole process. Grrrrgh! In short, I didn't buy another blaupunkt because I had two of them die an early death but they definitely had the more intuitive and functional menu nav. All things considered, I'd rather just have an aux in (which this lacks--it just offers the high speed ipod connect and a USB cable, no aux jack) and just use the ipod itself to navigate.
Not what I expected October 3, 2009 Dale R. Andrews (United States) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
MP3/Hard Drive issue :
I have always been an owner/user of Alpine recievers. Before I purchased this model, I wanted to make sure that the reciever I purchased had a usb input and had the ability to play mps's straight from a hard drive. It plays them just fine; the problem lies with how the unit navigates the file structure you have set up on your hard drive. I have a hard drive with about 80GBs of mp3's with standard Group/Album/Song structure, and instead of displaying only the base files, it disays every single one all at once, in a chaotic order. While connected to a hard drive full of mps3's, trying to find a particular album or song using this reciever is painstakingly annoying, and in some cases it won't even display certain folders.
For mp3 purposes, I think it's time to say goodbye to the hard drive idea and say hello to an ipod; at least with this reciever.
