Unit is good, not great. The Bluetooth mic is not that great. The person on the other end of the call says it sounds like I'm in a tin can when stopped in traffic and when driving they cannot hear me. The Bluetooth streaming of music is good but using the aux feature is a much better sound. The manual doesn't explain a lot of the features, but was able to find more online. Had trouble with the sound when hooking up unit. Have a factory amp and I hooked up the antenna to power amp but when not using radio it shut off the amp, so I had to use the amp power blue, not the blue and white antenna. Overall for the price it's a good unit for a stock replacement. If going to use multiple amps and subs, I would get a better unit or get a crossover or an equalizer.

I have been running an Alpine system in my 09 Ram, and when it came time to pick up a single DIN unit for my 97 Cherokee I again went to an Alpine unit, and am very pleased that I did so. This unit was easy to setup and has been easy to make adjustments to on the fly. I have been able to easily setup the BT and connect it to my phone for calls as well as Pandora. Have also been able to make adjustments easy enough to get a decent sound out of my speaker setup, and look forward to using the adjustments it has once I hook up my Type R 12 sub and Alpine amp in the coming weeks..

Clean installation. Detachable face provides comfort and security. Seamless Bluetooth call feature with clarity of sound and excellent microphone component on visor. Easy hands-on changing of music mediums. Classic and clear Alpine power and overall sound quality. Highly recommended!

This radio has great quality sound for the price, and the Bluetooth feature is really useful since this was installed in an old car. The only minor issue is that the clock display is a little small. Otherwise, a great, intuitive radio.

This is my second Alpine BT capable stereo (replaces older 103BT). Overall, I like the sound and the BT capabilities, especially the music streaming feature. I love that I don't need a USB cable for my iPhone. Installed it myself into 2007 Honda Accord. I did need to buy wiring harness kit and "box" for mounting. Also, forgot the antenna cable extender. This was required in order to reach the the car's antenna hook up. Only complaint, as opposed to the older Alpine BT receiver, is that the voice activation function to call a specific number has issues when my iPhone 4S is in my pocket. My previous receiver and iPhone 4 didn't have that problem...maybe a SIRI issue? Overall, I think this this is great performing receiver that sounds superb with the BT streaming.

Good sound quality and good for the price however, some Buttons are kind of too small for me and there is glare on the screen at some angle when sunny.
Overall I enjoy this system because I can now plug in a USB, use auxiliary for mp3 or other device. I can also make and receive phone calls

I purchased this as a replacement for an Alpine CD player that died. It plays fine, but the guys forgot to set the clock which is not easy to find, and I haven't gotten to the instructions on how to change it yet. It is pretty basic setting up the radio stations, it plays CDs without a problem, and we have had no problems for the USB or auxiliary output. I don't really like the Bluetooth speaker that came with it, because nobody can hear me at all on it. I guess it sounds a lot like I am talking into a pillow while being strangled by a garbage bag. Unfortunately, if my car is on and I am trying to one, the Bluetooth automatically turns on which is very annoying. It also does the same annoying trick if a call comes in and I tried to answer it. My old system had a neat function where you could change the light to come on and had better functions for changing the type of sound to match the music you were playing. So, for what I paid I guess it is ok, but it is not great

Love the stereo and blue tooth features. Perfect replacement for a vehicle without this option. Sometimes it does not connect automatically which can be annoying but once connected, sound is good, phone is clear, features are plenty. Installation by Geek Squad was flawless and quick. This was a Christmas gift for my son and he was completely surprised and is very happy with all the features and sound! It was a great decision. No regrets.

Great Alpine product as many I have purchased. The stereo sound quality is great and the Bluetooth capabilities are fun! The sound quality with the phone calls through the speakers via the provided microphone are outstanding....even with the window open, all parties could be heard.

So far so good. The sound quality is noticeably better when playing music through my phone, whether through Bluetooth, USB, or auxiliary. The button layout is relatively easy to adjust to, and I've had no issues with the radio or Bluetooth calls. Good product for a great value.

This car stereo works great and provides excellent sound. The one feature I really like is the big blue button to change modes. That makes it easy to switch while driving. It was a little tricky hooking up my Iphone with blue tooth but once it connected it worked great. The manual can be a little confusing so you may have to read the instructions a couple of times.

So far we are very pleased with our new radio/cd player. The sound is great and the bluetooth is easy to use and works really well. Looks good in the dash and fits well with the car decor, not too bright and garish as some decks were, full marks.

I bought this for the BT capability to listen tony music it works fairly well but tends to not sync when I get in my jeep and I have to do it manually about 20% of the time. Other than that the sound is good and the detachable faceplate is awesome when the top is off.

Love adding the Bluetooth hands free answering for my son so I don't worry that I'll cause him to wreck if I call him.
The sound quality is to his liking and he likes using his Bluetooth to play his favorite songs.
