My friend has a compustar on his car and he queried it from City Mill in waimalu shopping center and his car was parked at Buffet 100. I think that's pretty good reach. Compustar received a innovations award at the last CES show. The only thing is that it's really pricy.

By the way whats you're reason for looking this particular deck? Is it because you like alpine and it looks cool (it really is a cool deck
), or is it because you want a good deck?

I am looking at some Kenwood Excelons also. I'll probably just keep the stock suby stereo and wait till the 2004 Alpines and Kenwoods come out.
Thanks for the info Acarguy

My ex-girlfriend had too many problems with to old style phantom face cd players. The old one had the face rotate like 180 degrees, but the new ones have the face fold down and open. I think kenwood had too many problems and changed the design. Kenwood quality is awesome though.

I was thinking of getting this model but decided to wait on DVD system. I rather spend my money on performance mods rather than upgrading my Alpine 7897 to the DVD. I only been using my radio for 6 months now anyways....alot of life left in the unit.
