To those who own HU Alpine CDa 9847, yours help is appreciated, my kenwood HU just breaks down after almost 2 years, so i decided to spend my money on something that would last me long and cheap. So i decided to go for the Alpine CDa 9847, but the thing is: it says remote control is optional? so does that mean that it doesn't come with it or do i have to buy it separately? because i checked it on Crutchfield.com, they don't offer the remote control with it,!! how would you be able to use it w/o the remote control, special with all the jumping back and forth to look for the mp3 that you like!!!
