well i had the standard one before, so in comparison its much better.
i got a ps2 running to it as well, so the aux might be useful if you want to run something to it. the 9812 is old too, its just that its still a high selling unit that alpine continue it. think its 3 years old now. its got swingface too, which is so so pointless, but you cant help but smile when you turn your car on and the radio moves

in fact, if your buying this radio new, you should definitely get the 9812. for its price, its much better than similar priced units
