Alpine 9855r

Advantages: Alpine 9855r - Touch Glide, BioLite Display, MP3.
Disadvantages: None

...the back of the unit to the leads that my previous head unit used. This allows the 2 connectors to slip into each other without cutting and having to match up the coloured wires. The touch glide bar allows the user to quickly browse thorugh the many different songs that the MP3 unit can play. I recently had my car broken into so the deceiding factor of purchasing this unit was the detachable front panel. The Alpine 9855r is IPOD ready however needs additional KCA-420i adaptor. 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. Most of all the unit is extremelly fun to use with excellent sound quality and fully customizable. I reccomend this this unit to...

Review of Alpine CDA-9855 R

BRUIN ALPINE - great if your baby isn't nosey!

Advantages: Pockets in Hood, Suitable from birth, Easy to steer, Lightweight, Shopping basket
Disadvantages: Does not sit bolt upright.

...I bought this stroller from Babies R Us in December 2005. At the time I needed a lightweight stroller due to my 6 month old daughter having grown out of her travel system car seat and the Graco buggy being too heavy to drag in and out of the boot every day during the school run. Whilst in Babies R Us we saw the Bruin Alpine Stroller. Its style appealed to me and I was even more impressed when I saw the price. HOW MUCH? It was originally £69.99 but this particular day it had £10 off so was £59.99 and we also had a voucher for £5 off any stroller over £30 so the final price was £54.99. Bargain. CAN YOU BUY IT ONLINE? Yes you can buy it online from the Babies R Us website. If you go to babiesrus.co.uk go to travel, then find pushchairs and on page 2 you should find the Alpine. You can also order it via their catalogue through...

Review of Bruin Alpine Stroller

GREAT PRODUCT!

Advantages: Sound quality, and features
Disadvantages: NONE YET!

...This is a fantastic product! Let's get into detail here: First of all, it is an easy install, it comes with all of the necessary tools. Secondly, it has great functions, such as the iPod connect feature, which allows you to control your iPod right from the head unit. Third, the sound quality is amazing! You can control the treble, bass, fades and subwoofer all from your head unit. What's also great about this unit? The BioLite feature! You can choose either red or blue coloring for your lights. You can also choose to dim them, or keep them bright. For the money, I would recommend this product to anybody. Pay a little more and upgrade from the Alpine CDA-9884. You won't be dissapointed! Lastly, if you prefer to add speakers as well, definitely go with Alpine speakers!...

alpine ida x200

Advantages: good sound nice to look at
Disadvantages: skips in middle of songs, no clock!!!!!, pay £160.00 for great sound

...Ok bought alpine ida x200 as it did nearly all the things x100 does but was a £100 cheaper. after installing i noticed the clock would not display, so i contacted alpine u.k. and they gave me instructions on how to display. I followed instructions but these did not work so again i contacted alpine u.k. The response came back he had given wrong instructins and the x200 does not have a clock. The sound is nice on system but if you want to have great sound you have to buy an imprint sound manager system about £49.00. Then you will need the sound chip aruond £120.00. If you want bluetooth phone connection add another £80.00.if you want a clock add £100 and upgrade to the x100, i have never bought alpine before and never will again. I will say this though if you buy American x200 you do get a clock and a calender. Amazing how we the British...

Review of Alpine IDA-X200

Good, but could be better

Advantages: Number of features, sound quality, radio reception
Disadvantages: Overkill

...I have owned an Alpine 7570R Cassette/Tuner since Christmas and I am fairly pleased with it. It was a replacement for a standard fit radio which had been playing up and I had hankered after an Alpine for a while. It has a huge number of features (most of the buttons have multiple functions) and it will take a good few evenings with the manual before you can do more than turn it on. It has all of the radio RDS features that you'd expect from Alpine: AutoSearch, traffic information, radio station messages and programme information. All of these features (except the radio info, which is just distracting if you want to see which station you are listening to) are useful and I like them. Other good features are the Programme Search function for tapes to allow skipping forward or back as many tracks as you choose. It also has a removable...

Review of Alpine TDA 7570R

R32 is the best - *UPDATED*

Advantages: Performance, Build, Style, Exclusivity, Noise, Comfort
Disadvantages: Economy

...After 3 years and 54,000 miles, driving a Civic Type-R is hard work. Yes, the seats are comfy, yes the handling is pin-sharp and, yes it is good fun to drive down twisty country lanes. But 4,000rpm at motorway speeds makes for a very noisy place to be. Firm suspension isn't kind on the back and the lack of extras leave it feeling a little Spartan. So despite all the plus-points, motorway driving, which makes up most of my miles, is a chore. With my contract up for renewal I needed something a bit more "mature". Something a bit less boy-racer. Something that I could give a lift to colleagues in without them having to clamber through passenger door to the back. Something a bit more comfortable than the bare-bones Honda. That said, I also wanted something that had a bit of "poke" yet remained practical (at least in some sense...

Review of Mothercare Urban Detour Twin Alpine

Pump up the jam

Advantages: Best sound quality in its price range
Disadvantages: Ugly as sin

...The ultimate in ICE (in car entertainment). ALPINE! A big name for many years in the automotive industry delivering some of the best amplifiers, headunits and speakers available. The CDA range definately does not dissapoint. Featuring all of the classic alpine qualities including the old alpine look with the 4 buttons to the left of the round volume control (which now functions as a whole lot more). Its an absolutely ugly headunit as all alpines are, a pig to operate and I dont think there is anyone in the world that has mastered every option on an alpine unit since they first started producing them, but from the moment you first power it up you fall in love with the depth, warmth and clarity of the sound reproduction. My favourite trick is to leave the eq exactly as it comes from factory, but to increase the subwoofer output...

Great Quality Speakers

Advantages: Very clear highs and full midrange response
Disadvantages: Weak base

...After trying a few different sets of car speakers (each around the £70 mark) and being dissapointed I finnally decided to take the risk and purchase these high end alpine speakers. After reading all of the information i could find i decided that these would suit my needs well, im used to high quality Bose systems at home so thought these could produce similar results in my car. When i got them out of the box my first impressions were of how well they appeared to be made, the cast aluminium frame and the multi-role surround on the cone gave an immediate impression of the quality. The included crossovers also carried on this quality feel. Installing them in my car was simple, remove the old speakers and fit the woofers, then find a suitable place for the crossover and route the cabling for the tweeters to the dash board where i chose to...

Review of Alpine SPX 137 R

What Type-R You?

Advantages: Performance, Handling, Practicality, Price
Disadvantages: Insurance, Comfort

...Let's get this straight from the start. Some people see driving simply as a means of getting from A to B as comfortably as possible, others see driving as a means of getting from A to B with as much kit in the car as possible, yet more folks see driving as a chore to be tolerated and finally there's those to whom driving is a pleasure in itself. The Honda Civic Type-R is not a car for comfort. It is not a car for lugging huge loads (although it is actually rather spacious) and it's not someting you would want to drive with a heavy heart. Oh no. The Civic Type-R is an out-and-out drivers car, designed to tweak every last ounce of enjoyment from even the most mundane of runs down to the corner shop. The R is for Racing and the Civic Type-R is the latest in the distinguished Type-R line, following in the wake of the now legendary Integra...
