Other Features Include...
Downloadable custom settings for the head unit from Alpines i-Personalize website
MediaXpander to make your compressed music sound like CDs and comes with a nifty little remote for passengers to use.

Advantages: It is very highly powered, and can handle anything Disadvantages: i could not get it to work whilst the ignition was off
this headunit is the best headunit i have had for a while, it has a glidetouch function which makes selecting cd or radio a lot easier whilst driving. it also has a high power output, i have 6 sets of speakers in my car and an amplifier and sub and the cd player runs them all very happily. all are after market alpine and pioneer speakers, also fusion 6x9's and amp and sub, and the cd player cannot be faulted. i chose to go for the mid range alpine cd player to get the best functions at a reasonable price and found that i got all this and more.
the colours can also be changed and it can tilt 4 different angles, all of this i did not know until after buying this and these extra functions amazed me! the colours are completly different and the headunit looks brilliant!
Not to be faulted ...
