ade73 Just a point I dont think the Alpine 9827 is not Ai Net compatible so if you do decide you want more mp3 sounds from a changer your stuffed! You might want to think about going up the Alpine HU range a bit to the tilting front units. Gives you a bit more flexibility for the future!!

Try the 9830R, it also has a slight more powerful internal V drive amp!

Fair enoughski!

If you ever want a 6 CD interchanger that also plays MP3's (upto 55 CD worth according to Alpine!) you won't have Ai Net ability with the 9827 so you wont be able to do it!

Other than that the 9827 is a good buy!
