Google is not too helpful! Only Russian pages. One of those is : Translated version of http://autosound.2mcl.com/index.php?productID=470

Would appreciate any and all reviews.

Hiya Happy,

Why are you looking for a review? Are you planning to buy this product? Because it is pretty old.

Hello Sam,

Thanks for the info. There is a unit of this lying with one of my colleagues here in Singapore and he wanted to know if I might be interested. Still in box and never used, as per him.

So it is something worth picking up.

No price yet discussed, but if I can know what might have been the retailing price 6 months back (or before, as you know it), it would be helpful.

Pick it up if its free. I vote all your money on an Alpine.

That is what I am hoping for!

Ok, the 'pick up free' is not happening! :(

But then the final asking price is S$100. I guess I will pick it up for that price.

With USB support, DIVx, DVD R/W and most of the disk formats, this looks more like a good 'garage sale' pick!

Sam, appreciate the feedback.

RL - thanks for sharing similar thoughts!

Will know if I made a S$ mistake or not, once I get back... a S$100 worth of mistake or... a good buy.

for a $100 (Rs. 3400) its a good buy! go for the pana if you are sure about how it sounds.

HappyWheels · 1st May 2009, 14:36

Will know the end result of this buy next week when I plan to get it installed in my car.

100 singapore dollar?

Its DVD HU.V good for that price.

HappyWheels · 1st May 2009, 18:21

Yup, JK, 100 Singy $.

It supports DVD video, VCD video, CD-R/RW, DVD-R/RW (MP3) and DivX (CD & DVD).

Found a couple of these guys sitting at (Sachins) Auto Shop, Koramangala. So, I guess these are still sold off the shelf here. Priced at 9k.

And as for what I did with mine - well, nothing. Waiting for the Safari to come and then I might place this in that and move the Alpine in the Safari to the Alto.
