I fancy a new head unit to replace my old Alpine 7876RB as its gettin a bit long in the tooth.

Seen a couple of other Alpine ones....

Alpine CDA-9812RB and Alpine CDA-9857R

CDA 9812 had it for over a year and it still looks great, operates well, just bought a ipos thing for it and its good with that, i like it more for not having that glide thing cos i have clubs for fingers and it doesnt have the biolite but i love it oh and you have to hard wire it - only problem and i wont be swaping mine for a long time

I want the 9812RB. Will be buying one when my engine is sorted out. A bit old now, but an impressive unit all the same!

The alpine 9857 is nice i have the 1-2 below it (9854) only thing i will say is it can be a little toppy (treble) apart from that it works well with a cd changer and ipod adapter with out any problems good solid head unit for the money

better price on the 9857..................

Edit: I have the 9807RB at the moment, which I do really like, only thing is it can't take it much more, skips quite easily too. (2 Years, Used nearly every day and 40,000miles - Wonder how many hours of music and CD ejects that is :lol

I have had an Alpine 9812 rb for about two years now, not getting rid of it til it dies on me, by far one of the best headunits out there!

They are quite old but the only model from the 2004 range to still be produced!
Keepin mine forever, over two years and about 50k miles still going strong!

Like the look of the 9812RB and people seem to like them.

Always liked alpine, never had a prob with them over the years.

II always buy Alpine

had the current one about a year its quality...........fancy getting an i-pod compatable one next though

As far as I know my 2 previous ones are still going strong, one is in my mates dads cav & must be about 8yr old now

Quite like the look of those Becker Grand prix ones - does everything you need + more without looking like a christmas tree at the same time.

Im not a fan of all the risty glitsy ones that come & go, big stupd screens, dvd players etc - not interested

I have had the 9812-RB for a couple years and I think that alpine hasnt come out with anything better personally. Sure enough there is flashier head units, but sound quality wise, nothing under £300 tops it!

ive got the alpine 9856R in the fiesta.

i chose it over 9857R cos it lights up green, which imo an alipne unit should.

its not too fussy and does everything it needs to exceptionally well.

like colin, i do not go for fads with a headunit or one that resembles a xmas tree. all i ever want is a good sound and good performance from a tidy looking unit

Ive got a Clarion MXZ-718R, that combined with the DPH-913 processor still has a lot more audio functionality than a lot of units on the current market, I reckon. TBH, thats a fairly bold statement as Ive not looked at headunits for about 3 or 4 years, but remain confident most of these JVC, Pioneer, Panasonic and a lot of Alpines etc. are gimmecky.

McIntosh, Becker? Nakamichi? are they all still good?
