- Alpine CDA-9857
- Although not particularly fancy, the Alpine CDA-9857 stereo head unit provides a solid foundation for adding a multitude of other Alpine components with its Alpine AI-Net interface. In our test setup, we installed the CDA-9857 and added on the Alpine KCT-100BT Bluetooth module and the Alpine KCE-422i Full Speed cable,...

- JVC KW-NX7000 navigation/DVD receiver
- The JVC KW-NX7000 isn't cleverly named like its sibling the El Kameleon, but it is just as cleverly designed. With its smart features, such as the proximity-based interface or the flash-memory-based navigation data, we found the KW-NX7000 extremely easy to use. However, it was the fun little touches, like the...
