Alpine CDE-121
$109.95
Released January, 2011
The Pros:Clean audio output with no distortion, good detail in the sound. MP3s play both from CDs and USB drives, good support for other audio formats. AUX input seems to work with almost anything that has a headphone jack.
The Cons:User interface is a bit awkward, takes some time to find the track you want. Doesn't include the remote control, need to buy it separately. If copying files from a Mac, need to remove the extra hidden files that get placed there to avoid pauses in the playback.
The Alpine CDE-121 is a car CD player that fits into a 1-DIN space in the dash. The design uses red illuminated buttons and a 1-line LCD display that can show select text from a CD or track information from a connected media device.
