I dont wanna compare this two units cause I dont know the IDA303.. People say that CDA 117 is very slow with the Iphone / ipods.. sometimes Loud is NOT pretty Sounds like its safe to go ahead and bend that ass over.

zayres29 Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 yeah i would expect the ipod/iphone interface to be better on the ida series because it is a digital media receiver instead of a cd/mps player and the 303 is about $100 cheaper than the 117 Btw that was the first person.

AI James Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 thats for nobody but you to decide...Myself, i hate the look functionality and everything else about the 303. I have a processor too, but if a deck is ugly and feels cheap to the touch i still wont buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems that you have found the high pass x-over and I stated that it doesn't have a built in low pass cross-over. As far as the lighting on the display goes, its not anything I knew about so I looked it up last night and it is looking like that is only for the UK models (over seas) and does not seem to be an option for the American models. I have been playing with one of my little 8 gig sticks and do not have any complaints about the slowness. It is slow but not slow enough to bother me verse the layout of being able to navigate my menus. If you have more questions please type them out so I don't have to site through a 9 minute review of a radio that I have already had to learn on my own please.

ISO Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Here is the UK web page. http://www.alpine-electronics.co.uk/products/product-singleview/cd-head-units/cda-117ri.html The ri at the end of the model number tells you witch unit is witch. This issue could have something to do with American motor vehicle laws (distracted driver bullshit) as I have no idea why they wouldn't have given us the option to have a light changing display.
