Alpine 1.5 din head unit

I finally got around to taking a picture of the Alpine head unit, this is the higher end version of the 2 offered. I'm currently working on my amp rack install flush in the back seat, fiberglass sub box for the 12" solobaric. The amps are v12 t757 and f407. My other project is the custom kick panels. I have the MB Quart premium reference musicomp 216 components and 116 coax in stock rear location. I want to have the amp rack finished this weekend. When I get that all done I'll post pictures.

CDA-D855 I got mine from <a href="http://www.sbhcorp.com/stralp.htm">SBH Corp</a>
Know that Alpine won't honor their warrenty since I bought from an online source. They aren't making any profit on this unit is what my friends at Autosound told me. I didn't care about a warrenty, both of my previous head units were stolen WITHOUT FACE PLATE so I didn't care about a warrenty. I also got my v12 amps through them. I didn't have a problem, they did have a part on back order and didn't tell me until I called up, but that's sometimes the case.
I know

If that's the case, I'm assuming you paid about $250-275?

Yeah, it has orange as the alternat color for the buttons, not the display. All in all I'm very pleased with this head unit. I just wish it had an extra set of pre outs.
