Alpine Ai-net Rca Aux Auxiliary Input Adapter Cable Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)OK people, read this review, it may save you some time/frustration. This adapter works fine if your Alpine is a later Versalink Ai-Net Alpine model. You can set the Aux Input to On in your menu. If you have a CTA series Alpine, this will still work, but you have to do a couple extra steps. First, you need to wire in a switch in order to short the pink/black stripe wire to ground when you want to listen to the auxiliary input. You flip the switch to not ground the pink/black when you want to listen to radio. In the CTA's menu, you need to turn the Mute option Off. That's it, works perfect. Volume level from my Droid streaming Pandora was roughly the same volume as the radio. All is good for about $10.

Alpine IVA D310 - DVD player with LCD monitor and AM/FM tuner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Good unit with great sound. Great with radio and CDs. But the main reason I got it was to use it with my iPod. This is where this item falls flat. First off, you have to buy an adapter (KCA-420i) just to get the iPod controls to the head unit.
Once you've done that, you'll find out (I did the hard way) that the data transfer b/w the iPod and deck is ungodly slow. Not music wise, but music info wise. It's extremely sluggish scrolling through songs/artists/albums. So I've basically been playing it on shuffle.
But now and then, you feel like listening to a specific song/album. You can do that with this deck, but be prepared to take time to scroll to the item.
I will be switching this deck for the IVA-D106 which is much faster.
Cheers.

SIRIUS SCC1 Connect Universal Tuner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After years of using a portable universal tuner through either the FM tuner or aux. jack on my stereo, I finally decided it was time to upgrade my stereo head unit so I could integrate all my "attachments". I've been using the Sirius SCC1 with my Alpine CDA-9886 for about 5 months now, and I've been extremely pleased with it. The Sirius SCC1 works GREAT with the head unit and causes no issues with the other peripherals attached to it (I've also got the bluetooth module (KCA 200BT) and iPod cable). The sound quality is excellent--far better than it was using the portable unit through the auxillary input. One of the features I appreciated most about my portable unit was the ability to mark favorite songs or bands and be notified when they're being broadcast on any channel. This unit maintains that ability, although I do miss the option of having the notification beep through the speakers; instead the notification is visual on the face of the head unit, so if you're not looking at the head unit, you can easily miss it. (I haven't read through all the instructions though, so this isn't to say that the beep option doesn't exist).
Don't forget that with this unit, you will need the Sirius adaptor that is specific to your head unit. This is the TUNER itself, NOT the adaptor. YOU MUST HAVE BOTH in order for it to work (mine is paired with the KCA-SC100). All in all I've found the SCC1 to be a great value. Installation was SUPER easy for me (I installed it myself in about 20 minutes), the sound quality is great, and the convenience and cleanness of keeping everything integrated through the head unit makes it a great product.
