Buyer's feedback: - * Alpine should really rethink this one ...
I love Alpine products, which is why it kills me to write this review. I have a CDA-9830, the XM tuner, 2 MRD-1000 mono amps, a MRV-545 4 channel, 2 12" type R subs, and 2 pairs of type R 6.5" components. Well after wishing and hoping, Alpine it seemed had finally answered my prayers with this USB interface module. I purchased and installed it, and now I wished I would have kept my CHA-S634 6 disc changer. The module will not work with USB "thumb-drives" bigger than 2GB, when you start your vehicle the module starts back with the first song, it sorts every song alphabetically so none of your albums will play consecutively, and to top it all off, you lose the last 3-5 seconds of every song. Needless to say I was severely disappointed with this product. I hoped to use my 20GB quickdrive and have days of music in my truck with out the giant CD folders, but that dream quickly died. I also tried using my Sony MP3 player, but that failed too. I cannot recommend this product to anyone, and I hope Alpine will do something to fix this failed product. All the other Alpine products I have ever owned I would gladly purchase again, but this one is truly horrible. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!!

Buyer's feedback: - Reads my 1G usb but not my 4G or 16G
Alpine makes excellent car stereo products, I bought an Alpine 9886 headunit with these accessories, the Sirius receiver, steering wheel control, usb reader and all this was professionally installed by an authorize dealer.

The USB reader fails to read big drives i.e. USB drives over 1G formated in fat32 IT FAILED TO READ!!! It reports "Device Error" on my Alpine 9886 headunit. I even went to Alpine website to see if there was a software update. I performed an update (version is circa 2007 and its Nov 2008 as I write this) and the issue still persist!!!

I'm a DJ and I have lots of I songs and mixes I playback. I wanted to get rid of the limitation of using CD for mp3 format, CDs capacity limit me to 700MB. I thought this USB adapter would allow me to just copy my mixes on the drive and pop it into the car's USB slot... well after I filled my 1G USB I bought a 16G (from newegg), pop it in the car and wham "Device Error". I bought a 4Gig from Newegg, pop this in the car and wham "Device Error". I'm disappointed at this unit.... is not cheap and not worth the $200 USD. Alpine does make good products, if its too new watch out...

Its easy for me to fill a Gig size USB. Take 10 mp3 mixtapes (~100mbytes each) about 90 minutes long... that will takes up a Gig of space!!!!
