Alpine PXA-H701 Questions

Thanks man. It would be great if I could find out how to do that. It looks like his back lighting is even red! But yeah....I told that guy his price was rediculous, and linked him to sites online selling it for around $600 brand new(yes...I actually found a fe, lol). But yeah man...if you find out how to do this in red, you just became one of my favorite people with a quickness, lol.

I haven't found anything yet, but it does look like Alpine made a few red colored HU's overseas. This is encouraging.

The CDA-9812rr and the CDM-9803RR. The last "r" indicates the display color as the CDA-9812rb has a blue display.

No, the point is that Alpine DID make some red colored units so maybe they also made a red version of the H700/1 controller as well.

Damn! Look what you can get in Japan. Doesn't have anything to do with this thread, but damn!

oooohhhhhh.......wonder if that would control it, and if it comes in red, lol. That is sweet.

Do you already have the CarPC? What do you have already? If you can go with a cool headunit, there are red ones out there. If you want to use the carpc and an H-700/1 you can simply tuck the controller away. That's what I do.

Yeah....I was thinking about doing that. But my car is pure show, and I would have to have the conrtoller visible, lol. And no, I don't have the PC yet. I catually have a WTB thread for that and some other stuff, and also just posted a thread of my project. Check it out.

I have a sound card question. I will be running the Alpine dva-9861 that controls an h701. I am planning to use the Aopen miniPC with the 945g chipset based motherboard that has an optical out for the onboard Intel HD Audio.

Is there any need for a sound card since the h701 will be getting an optical signal and doing the processing anyway?

thanks, barry
