Convenient, Within reach, well (enough) laid out (always room for improvement), Still working after 10 years of use!!!

Info about magazine interchangeablitity with newer units non-existent (7987, 7985, 7887, etc)... Slow... nowadays 6-disc in-dash without mag is COOL!!! Backlight for display burned out... $40 to replace $1 LED...

Awesome! Especially if you have multiple (preloaded) magazines! I do... Well made and laid out... relatively durable... Mine is almost (over?) 10 years old!!!

I was wondering, If 7987, 7985, 7887, etc., will interchange their 3-disc Magazines with the 7982...??? And Vice-versa? I'm looking for the SAME 7982, or similar 7985, 7887, 7987, etc... IF I ca

Dual illumination, 3 CD in dash beats having to go to the trunk to change them out.

Needs a 4 channel amp to power it.

This is the best car stereo I have ever owned. The dual illumination is fabulous, it has all the features I need and plays great. All my friends love it too.

Great Great Sound until is broke

You have to buy a 4 channel amp $$$ for the 4 speakers. Perhaps unit is rare because the 3 disc isn''t too effective. Pretty expensive unit

Product jammed quite frequently, disc now cannot read cds. I''m having many problems with this cd head unit, it worked for apporoximately 3 days before it went haywire. The CD did sound incredibly better than my sony cd player.

Multi-disc capability. Alpine performance and quality. Less expensive than a receiver and changer separately. Does have Ai net connection.

More expensive than single CD.

If you are going to use separate amps anyway, why not combine the changer in the dash with the receiver?

Sony - Removed old receiver and 10 disk changer system and replaced with this single unit. LOTS of problems with the Sony.

It's a cheap solution from every ones need more than ono disc in your car without extra devices. The title disc function it's a very nice feature. Mute lead for cellular phone. Having more than one magazine, the number of disc available increases without change the magazine in the rear seat of the car.

Reduced number of memories from the title disc function. No amplified outputs increase the cost of installation. No Ai net conection. No antskip function.

Yes, I wide recommended the cd changer for those that need play more then one disc with a cheap solution.

CONVENIENCE. Ability to change 3 cds. Also, controlled 6 cd changer. 4 Volt Pre Out for cleaner sound and less gain. Stealth appearance after faceplate was removed. Excellent sound quality!!

A cd would occasionally get jammed in one the slots and get stuck in the player. Placing an empty 3 cd cartridge cured the problem. I had to worry a couple of times. No dual illumination.

I would recommend the 7987 for convenience and excellent sound quality. It would be a great foundation for future system upgrades. 4 Volt Pre Outs help with less gain on your amps to achieve cleaner signals. You must have separate amplification with this unit.

Alpine 7982. Also, an excellent unit. Newer unit was more crisp with highs. I had to use more gain on my componenets to achieve loud sound.

oh man, this is one nicely built product. the 3 disc in dash is superior to trunk/glove compartment mounted changers. it's totally awesome.

maybe a built in equalizer would be nice, considering the cost of the head unit.

i love the alpine. unfortunately i must sell it to make ends meet. but i plan on purchasing another alpine product in the near future.
