Alpine CDA-9857R Wot You Think About It

[Phil_T]

Just got this headunit fitted friday very pleased with it seems to even have made the standard speakers sound clearer, but would have thought it had the tilt options on it and when changing cd it would be motorised but it isnt. Ive i done right in buying this headunit???

Also can any1 recomend some good front comps for me got about £200 - £300 for comps

[Coops]

but would have thought it had the tilt options on it and when changing cd it would be motorised but it isnt.

didnt you check this before you bought it ?

[BarinaSXIpurthOZ]

i am just lookin in ya Avtar + i am like 1/2 asleep

[D4VO J]

know what u mean about the 'flop-down' glad mine is motorised, wudnt have it any other way

[vincefenlon]

got the 9857 and im loving it just cant wait to connect the amps to it and im sure it will be even better. shame about the gimmicks on this one as i got a 9855 before and that had the motor to pull it down and the remote but this comes with neither, bloody cost cutting or what.

[~TwIsTeR~]

you get wot u pay for.

[ripspeed girl]

right the 9857 has a lower spec than some of the 2005 model alpine for example the 9855 and the 9853 with the glide touch, motorised face and more power.
Alpine basically withdrew these units becuase they weren't selling they are trying to appeal to a market that cant or doesnt want to pay full price on units so they had to make them cheaper for example taking away everything that you were hoping for.. the 9853 and the 9855 you can still get from certain sources.

am i right in saying this model in question is £230 and it aint motorised !!!!

Anyone know if the alpine 9812rb is ?

[vincefenlon]

the 9851 and 9812 have the swingface aswell as the dvd 9865,

[Munkie]

does swingface mean it just drops down ? no fancy motorised stuff ?

[jimmi]

swingface means motorised iirc

[vincefenlon]

yea swingface is motorised. but then theres been alot of probs wiv the 9855 with it having a mind of its own
