    Alpine IVA-W200 divX/.avi playback?

    Hey everyone, I know the IVA-W200 can play VCD's and mp3 disks, but can it play data DVDs with .avi or divX movies? I'm assuming not but just thought I'd check... Thanks! -plumpjack

    Focal 165a for $65 or something else maybe Pg 6.5x

    I have the Focal 165a1's which I liked in the shop when I heard them but were initially a bit harsh after the install...probably due to lots of hard plastic in my cheap car. I've only had them about 3 weeks and feel like they're still settling in. After 20-30 hours into them they're already...

    Alpine IVA-W200 & PXA-H701: ? for owners

    Hey guys, I just installed my PXA-H701 last night after being frustrated with the lack of control on the W200...now I'm frustrated by the amount of control on the H701! For those of you who own one or know about them... do you use the MX settings? What do they do? Are they just dynamic range...

    New Car, New System

    Yeah, I was looking at the LS430 and instead bought the BMW 740i...loved the car but the maintenance really made me regret not getting a Lexus. 6 catalytic converters at $1k/per within 2 years and lots more trouble on top of that... yuck. Anyway, going back in time to the 1980's... "I think I'm...

    Alpine IVA-W200 mini-review w/pics

    Beautiful install Cyantist! And a great review of the H701 Alphakenny1! I was trying to find good reviews on this combo before purchasing them. I have the W200 in my Altima in the double DIN spot where the OEM radio was and it looks good, but not as good as this install. I found the controls on...

    New Car, New System

    I know how you feel! I went through almost two years of constant problems with my 740...sinking anywhere from $500 to $1000 a month in repairs. I just sold it and have been driving my wifes 01 Altima after getting her a new car. I have to say, I love the Altima and not having to worry about...

    New High Quality System

    Hey there, sounds like you're going to build a great system and not just go into things blindly which is unfortunately what I have done. Speaker choice is extremely personal so do try to go out and listen to as many brands as possible as well as listen to the input of people on the forums. I...

    First Post. Help/Opinions please!

    Hi guys, First post here from a newbie so please forgive the stupid questions. I posted this question on another forum but they seem to be having major bandwidth issues so I thought I'd re-post here. I have a 2001 Nissan Altima. Here's what I recently put in: Head Unit: Alpine AVA-W200 iPod...
