So, I am thinking of a slight upgrade for my sound system this winter ...

I have a Alpine CDA-9815 Head Unit:



Here are the specs:

• Media Xpander™
• XM Satellite Radio Ready
• MP3/WMA/CD-R/RW Playback

Very awesome unit. Sounds amazing, and has tons of features!

I'd be looking for about $250 for this. I could even throw in a brand new METRA mounting kit and a wire harness, prewired for this Alpine to your Z. Plug and Play!

Anyone interested in upgrading their system?

 

I might be interested. My stock CD player doesn't work very well. Will you install it for me? jk. Seriously I might take that off your hands.

 

Anna ... no problem on the install. You can ask Josh if I do decent work! I installed his Alpine no problem

Let me knooooooow

 

Wow, that looks nice! If I'd've had an Enthusiast, that might've been one of the first upgrades.

 

quick question, if i have the base system wit nav can i install an aftermarket stero and still use the nav, i think i read somewhere that u will loost voice command or something? leme knoe if it works i might buy the deck

thanx

You know, im not sure about the Nav stuff ... since I don't have nav. Anyone wanna chime in?

 

REally? I'll pay you of course if you do the install too.

I will take it.. check your PMs

 

Anna - Replied to your PM!

 

[Wayne Campbell] It will be mine. Oh, yes. It will be mine. [/Wayne Campbell]

 

Oh ya! Dan is the man! Dont need to say anymore

 

I'll mark this as *SOLD* ... Thanks Anna!

 

I have the same deck . . .it's SWEET for what I need. The 130 mp3's are great for not having to switch CD's. Works great with a sub and also dvd player.

 

About the nav thing.....you do lose the voice, but that is easily remmidied by a harness that I bought from a forum member. I forget his name, but he is an electrical engineer. It is set so when the voice talks, it mutes the radio and plays the voice through a separate speaker you mount wherever you want. It works well as long as the stereo has the mute function for things like incoming cell phone calls. I have a Pioneer unit and that is standard. I'm sure Alpine has a similar feature. Otherwise, you can just hook a speaker up to to audio output to have the voice and then turn the volume all the way up. Really though, do you always have that annoying voice on?
