Alpine CDA-105

The Alpine CDA-105 is an in-dash controller that allows you to enjoy music from CD's, iPods, iPhones, USB sticks and other portable media players over your car stereo.  The CD player plays standard CD/CD-R/CD-RW discs with MP3/AAC/WMA playback. The included USB cable connects to the rear of the unit to be placed in your glove compartment keeping your media device safely stowed, with no dangling cables.  The LED display clearly shows song information as you scroll through playlists, artists, albums and songs. When plugging in a USB stick, it automatically identifies music files and ignores other types of files, and then displays all audio files in alphabetical order.  The CDA-105 is Bluetooth, satellite readio and HD radio ready with required adapters and subscriptions.  It also has the ability to step up to IMPRINT sound, which optimizes the sound output for the acoustics of your vehicles interior.
