Alpine head unit recommendation

Anyone got either of the below head units? Need to combine with the dab aeriel too so recommendations would be very welcome!

Thank you!

I’ve got the CDE196DAB - nice unit, works well. I’m happy with it!

Thanks Jeremy - did you connect to existing aeriel (metal one on wing) or add another? Bit of a novice at this!

From reading others post it appears to. It might be worth replacing the currant aerial for a new one at the same time, as Bob did it on an older aerial without success, but after replacing the old aerial it worked

Not something I've tried. I currently run mine with this - http://www.halfords.com/technology/car-aud...ab-antenna .

I tried the screen mount with little success, being a sunday and desperate whilst all the dash was in bits I rolled the dice, with the view Id get a roof mount one later. It works a treat

I have it mounted above the rear door, bent at 90 degrees. A metal plate gaffer taped behind the headlining is enough to hold it. Perfect reception 99% of the time and no height restrictions.

Got the UTE93DAB works well. All my music is put onto a memory stick to save storage and any dust problems. Have got a roof mount aerial with magnetic base (as above from Halfords), attached a small piece of steel to my roof rack to give it somewhere to stick to.
