Ironic you have mentioned this We have a VPA-B222 hooked up right now and are testing with the 740BT and the Carpc hooked in to the hub and the video is operational with the RGB input. the hub Remote is sweet and controls all functions of the alpine system, I love the tactile feedback! we have not tested compatability of our touchscreen controller with the hub but on paper it's all looks like there will be no issues!

OH.. this is just a monitor...I thought you were modding a real apline headunit...

Glad i didnt wait.

yes by itself it is a monitor. if you add the hub pro then you can make it a HU

i am using an IVA-w200 now for a full headunit with my car PC on top.

I hope you are happy with your new purchase, whatever it maybe. I'm sorry to see that we could have made a product for you but you didn't read all the information on the post before you made your decision.

1) Our Adapter will work with a REAL ALPINE H/U
2) Our Test Base is not "just a Monitor"

Our setup will work on the Newer HU's that are native 800X480. If it's a Apline and and has touchscreen this will work, the only question is do you have a 400X232 screen or 800X480? that question wasn't directed towards you if you are even paying attention

we have also confirmed that with our adapter you will be able to retain the remote control functions of the HU or monitor to control other alpine bits and pieces (eg. VPA, DVA-5210, MRA, RSE-2 etc...) with a Carputer attached!

Sincerely,
Devin G. Aka High Plains Drifter

lol interesting... I may have to get an alpine double din if that is the case. Either way any chance there will be a list of confirmed models this will work with? BTW i would be down for beta testing on my 740bt

1. My car pc would provide all functions
2. Most important is i would not want to mod my screen i would prefer that this hook up to the existing cable set. The reason is my 740bt is already molded and functioning as my carpc monitor. I am using a RF mini air mouse to navigate my screens.

Are you just using the aux in on the 740? We are trying to keep from having to mod the screen. If people want the Bluetooth audio to come out of the speakers we have to open screen or get them into the VPA-B222.
