I'm sure some custom work will be necessary, to get this to fit right, but I think it will be worth it.

 

where's you order at? japan! i'm sure this HU in JAPAN only not in US, correct me if i'm wrong.

 

He is getting it from japan... valueTL is getting it for him..... askim him how much it costs...

 

im pretty sure radio stations are spaced differently there so i wouldnt be surprised if you cant tune in anything on the radio

 

what is means valueTL get it for him?

 

That headunit looks awesome. How many cd's? How much?

 

looks sweet, I wish I knew what all it did.

 

http://www.value-caraudio.com Thats who you can contact if you want most JDM parts.

 

well it says 130,000 yen, which is 1,093.81 USD

 

You are right, the radio station by default will not work here in the US. You can get a tv tuner module from alpine that will take care of that issue. It only hold 1 cd, but I'm also getting the 6disc CD/MP3 player installed in the glove.

 

damn $1093.81 for that HU?! i'd rather get the Denon HU. i think that Denon is a better value than Alpine, but that's just my opinion

 

Just an FYI Denon doesn't make headunits. In fact they don't make any kind of car audio products. If they do this news to me.

They do make car audio products. Supposedly they are the best decks. I woudlnt mind getting a Denon head unit, but I dont think they look right in the car. Alpine also has some really nice feature that denon doesnt have.

I have had both brands. The Denon is about 4 years old, the Alpine 3. The Alpine is better build quality, made in Japan. I think the Denon was made in Korea or China. On the Denon, the detachable face mechanism partiality broke, frequently used push buttons became loose. Hopefully their material/build quality has improved. Both decks sound great, never skip, lots of features.

 

Which Denon model do you have? I was never really abig fan of Alpine until recently. Their new decks are simply amazing. I went to a local shop close to me, and I had a chance to play with some of the new decks out, and I thought solid feel, and quality the Alpines took the cake.

 

Denon 950.

The '1' button does not click. The detach spring release does not work. Has a few quirks once in a while.

My Alpine has always worked great. It's a CDA-7xxx something. One feature I like in both decks is the control knob.

 

Will if Denon makes headunits for cars I can't find them. I know that the USA division of Denon doesn't make headunits. So if they do it must be a division in another country. If I'm wrong about the USA division not make headunit. Please give me some links to see the headunits and information about them!

Thanks for the links. I find it very interesting that the Denon website doesn't have any information on there headunits.

Will I know when to say you guys were right and I was wrong.

Are there any other good HUs available only in Japan and not in the U.S.?
