A long list of features makes the Alpine adaptable and multi-compatible. The CD slot is cleverly hidden behind a unique tilting screen, which can be set at an angle to suit you and swivels all the way around to input discs.

But the MirrorLink only really works with Nokia phones. The Alpine is good for music playback and hands-free calling with other smartphones, but we were expecting more.
