seems to be a lot of discussion abt the Alpine HU etc. Any word on whether this HU works with the OEM CD changer? If you had to change your CD Changer, where did you mount it?

can someone who is europe or other country that could be able to get those product give us some help? I think there will be lots of people who wants this thing... can you guys help us to find out if that will work with "what" US model head unit... and if not, is it possible to buy the head unit and the adapter direct from europe or other countries..? Anywayz to do it?
Hi demonderrick,
please search the forum for some older postings, I remember one that even listed company names and tel. numbers of british companies that sell straight to the US.
I am pretty sure that some of those postings actually report the adaptor to work with US Apline head units. As far as I understand, any Apline model that offers connectivity to Alpine "Steeringwheel Remote Interfaces and Cables" (Apline terminology) should work with the Alpine adaptor.

WHere did you buy your HU and changer from? Did you go to someone in Melbourne?
Any limitations to the dash controls after your modification? Or do they work as per factory?

)from Gary's Car Radio - I have bought a lot of car audio equipment there in the past so went back there this time as they usually give me a good deal.The dash controls work as they did when I had the factory headunit and stacker in the car - there is absolutely no difference. I was wrapped to be able to get such a 'plug in' solution as it seems that there is no other manufacturer (ie Alpine, Pioneer etc) produced products which overcome this problem.

but, the only result I found is it will work only with Alpine unit that has screen...!!
but, I am looking at the 1 din head unit instead of 1.5 din...
