I bought my Alpine CDE 9881 from a pawn shop for 50 bucks back when I had my old car and I recently got a nissan maxima. One thing I rly hate, this headunit has no aux in front or USB. I have had a few people offer me $65 for it (is that a decent price?) and I think I might sell it and get something a little better.
I know crutchfield is usually over priced but their headunits seems fairly priced, especially since they give you all the install stuff and save me around 30 bucks.
I'm not going to do much with this headunit, just listen to music on my ipod. Idk how to tune, etc. I'm also running a passive setup. Both of these have pandora capability which I like.
From these two headunits, which do you think if the better choice. Or do you suggest something else? My MAX budget is $130.
(ps, I need something relatively easy to use since my dad also drives the car occasionally, its technically his)
Here they are:
