I was looking at buying a new HU. I have an Alpine CDA-9811 that has been going strong for almost ten years now, so I was planning to stick with Alpine. But, I don't see time correction listed as a feature on any but their very high end head units. Have they stopped putting time correction settings in the lower end units? Do they just call it something else now?
If they don't do time correction anymore, can anyone recommend a good head unit that does still have this? I would actually prefer something without even a CD slot if possible. In the car I primarily just use USB drives these days. But, it has to have time correction. Properly setting it makes a huge difference on my CDA-9811. Thanks.

I think the lowest end new model with true time correction capability is the CDE-147.

The 147 retails for 209.95. I have not made it that deep into the menu to see if it has time correction. But if DYohn says it has TC, I am sure it does. The thing that caught my eye in the menu was the 9 band true parametric EQ. The 143 has a 3 band parametric, at a mere 210 dollars the 147 is definitely worth at least looking at. My last deck (when I drove a car) was the 9815. I loved that deck, but think I would love the 147 even more.

The 147 does have TC, the 143 does not.

Thanks everyone. I have been away from this board for a long time. I just didn't have a lot of use for it because I was done building systems once I put the one in my Miata. Great to see that it is still an awesome source of information.
But, now I get to build up a system for my new (to me) 2005 Lotus Elise. do alpine hu's still have time correction? - Last Post -- posted image. do alpine hu's still have time correction? - Last Post -- posted image. The thing with this one is, I want to keep it light weight. The whole car was made to be as light as possible (under 2000lbs) and I don't want to ruin that with some ridiculous system. I know that light weight and good sound don't go together, but as long as it is passable, that's all I care about.
Maybe I should talk about my thoughts for this in a separate thread.

Polymer-frame speakers and class D power are what you need for high fidelity and light weight. Alpine is again your friend on both counts. do alpine hu's still have time correction? - Last Post -- posted image.
