Yes it is Alpine. Everything in the car except for the screens in the geadrest are Alpine. The unit is around $700 to $800. I only recomend it be used with Alpines DVD unit. If not set-up is a pain. If used with the DVD unit. Allset-up is done on screen.

Kodai, I wanted to get a bigger screen for my tv's in the headrest. What would you recommend? Pioneer? Is that compatable with the alpine headunit?

I was thinking preferably 7", or maybe if I could squeeze 8"

thanks.

I found out that you should not go bigger than 6.5 due to the brackets that most screens come with. I think 6.5 is ideal. Even when you are sitting in the back it is a clear and large picture. Also with this size you still have a lot of the headrest intact. hope this helps. Also all monitor are ok with any type of head unit. they all have adaptors .

That is a nice set-up you. My concern was I wanted to use my trunk and still have it sound great. I am running about 850 watts. going through a TRUE 5.1 surround. This means it sounds good at high levels of volume. This system does hit good as well but my goal was to look great and still be a functional car. In other words I wanted my trunk as much as I could.
