Default Alpine has a 1.5 DIN head unit

I was at the Houston, Texas hooters carshow and saw 2 cars with this head unit: Alpine CDA 0857. They're hard to find but it's an excellent solution to people who dont' like the look of a 1 DIN head unit.

Default Fixed your post...

It's the Alpine CDA-D857.

Took me a few Google hits to figure it out. I think it is discontinued... but it might be worth hitting eBay to find one.

Thanks for the heads up.

my mistake. it's very difficult to tell the difference in a "D" and "0" with the font that Alpine used.

CDA-D853 and CDA-D855 are earlier models of the Alpine CDA-D857 1.5 din unit. Good ones go for some pretty decent $ on ebay. I've been looking for one myself but the prices usually get so high I'd rather get a 2 din nav unit & mod the bezel. Fun fun fun.

Nice unit, I had one in my 99 Z28. Fits well, it just sticks out far from the dash.
