I've got the Alpine CDA 9833 and I love it...

I'd recommend an Alpine, as I've had 3 now...

Also, I added Modifry's adapter which converts the dash controls into and RF signal that controls the HU!! Sweet mod, definitely necessary!

You can get it through the marketplace, I believe!

Also, installing a HU in the S2000 is CAKE! Very easy, IMO...

it appears that modifry has a new adapter for new alpine HU's that use a 3.5 mm jack intstead of the RF signal...AWESOME...

I also have an Alpine unit and use the AUX input for the TV but have t split so I can plug anything into it.

The only probelm I have found with the audio controller is that if you program the Channel button to skip to the next song on the CD it can only seek the radio stations not the presets. Kinda hard to explain but I have to pull the radio door down to change to my presets.
