1. Product:

Alpine CDA-117

2. Specs:

Link to the Specs here:

Alpine CDA-117 (cda117) In-Dash CD/MP3/WMA/AAC Receiver with Rear

3. Description/Condition:

CDA-117

I'd give this one a 6.5/10, it's a little beat up on the front side, scratches on the screen and volume knob. What you see in the pictures is what comes with the unit. No cage or trim ring, I feel it's priced accordingly.

I CAN NOT GET THE SPEAKER WIRES TO WORK BUT THE RCA'S WORK PERFECTLY FINE. THE PREVIOUS OWNER SWEARS THE SPEAKER WIRES WORKED FOR HIM BUT I WAS NEVER ABLE TO GET THEM TO.

Every other feature about the deck works perfectly.

CHA-1214

I'd give this one an 8/10, has some scratches and scuffs but nothing major. This works perfectly fine and includes mounting bracket feet.

4. Price: :

$105 shipped and insured for both

That little hole on the left side of the wire harness...what's it for?

 

[Goindef154 5,000+ posts]

For the Ai-Net plug, in this instance that's where the CD Changer would go but other accessories may use it as well.

No not that one, I got those as well but in between the harness and the ai net port.

Also...have you hooked up an mp3 player to the unit to play thru it?

Not sure, looks like a head phone jack to me, aux input. I have and it works fine.

does this model have a 3-way x-over built in?

googled this real quick, at the bottom of the first post:

Quick input here, but you did ensure that the internal amp on the unit was on, correct? You can switch the internal amp off on that unit under main settings.

Yeah, I checked that setting, as long as that's the only one then I switched it on/off while connected to a speaker on different channels and never got anything.
