Alpine employee accomodations are great.

I love the ergonomics of this HU -- reminds me of my 1st ever headunit -- an entry-level Alpine CDA-9807 (the one that was stolen

). I don't care about dolphins swimming around or racecars, so this came naturally (I don't stare at my stereo when driving). Simplicity and ease is all I need.

What's next?? Another $400...

Is that white thing on the box in the first part for the optical digital output?? What exactly does that do?

Found this on eBay. It's uber cheap, might want to grab it while you can.

Can't you answer that?

Also, does it do MP3 DVDs?

Dude, relax.

Never saw your original reply. I work at a Best Buy (but surprisingly not in the car audio department).

And yes, it does MP3 DVDs as well as the very few DVD audio discs out there today.
