This is a GREAT headunit! I had it in and loved it. I have a new car and just don't have the need for it now.
I also have the ipod adapter listed for sale seperately but if you're interested in both, let me know and I'll sell them both for a really good price. Picture is of the unit installed in my old car but it has since been removed (professionally).
Cosmetically its in GREAT condition! I'd like $70 for the unit but make me an offer and we'll see.
Description from Crutchfield:
Not only does Alpine's CDA-9827 CD receiver play your MP3 and WMA discs, but it uses MediaXpander to improve how they sound by filling in some of the sonic gaps created by data compression. The Quick Search keys make it easy for you to pick the next song without interrupting the current tune! And when it's time to switch, you won't be left waiting at the light — the internal processor finds the next track with amazing speed.
This silver and blue beauty features a strong built-in MOSFET amplifier that'll make all your music sound great. And Bass Engine® lets you choose the bass and treble center frequencies, adjust the width of the bass boost, and fine tune the subwoofer level, so you can compensate for the sonic imperfections of your vehicle's interior.
Planning to expand your system? The CDA-9827's got you covered. Three sets of 4-volt preamp outputs are ready to provide signal to your outboard amps. You can open up your entertainment options by hooking up an Alpine CD or DVD changer, an XM Satellite Radio tuner (or SIRIUS), or even a Nokia cell phone.
