My Alpine 9853 worked well for about a year. Then the faceplate started acting up and would stop working because it would vibrate going down the road so it’d lose connection. Then the remote control (same one on this Woot) has to be smacked against something 10-15 times before it’ll work. New batteries don’t help it.
“Double DIN” means it’s the standard size for “oversize” car audio/video (4"Hx7"W). It’s 2x the size of a “standard” car radio (2"Hx7"W). It should fit exactly in the dash of many (more or less) upscale European cars. (Japanese cars, YMMV. 'Merkin cars, all bets are off.)
The beauty of standard DIN sizes: once, I had a VW Golf, and literally pulled off the dash fascia, pulled out the junky radio, and pushed in a Blaupunkt, and pushed the dash fascia back on. No tools required, and it looked like it was made for the car. Of course, some months later, the thieves took it out even faster.
I was thinking of going to best buy to replace the stereo in the truck, and then I saw this pretty thing on Woot!, but I think with installation, getting new speakers, etc… this may actually cost a lot more to do separately.
