Do you think that the Alpine CDA-9827 HU is a pretty good HU that has mp3 capabilities? I wanted a good one that can play mp3's for as low of a price as possible.
A friend of mine has one, I installed it for him. Their actually pretty nice headunits, with a descent amount of features. The main thing that I don't like about it is that its kinda crappy to use, like the features aren't easily adjusted, but I could just be picky. Anyway, its performance is descent, but I don't care much for their looks. I hope that answers your question.
