Alpine HU's with amp control....

Anyone remember the alpine units that had the ability to control all the settings of the alpine v12 amps? I'm assuming the pdx line no longer carries that feature along with the current line up of headunits?

I would have loved to couple a pdx4.150 with my 9887 that is on its way //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif.

It was the 2005 model year IIRC.

they still have a few amps that are controllable via the HU's.

Which ones... and what headunits can do that? I'm assuming not the 9887?

i believe any HU that can control the H701 processor can control any of their mobile theater or whatever amps.

i just sold an amp that was controllable from my W205 because it didnt suit my needs. they only come in 5 channel flavors i believe.

Ahhh interesting. Technically 9887 should be capable.

Parag, when I read through the manual on my CDA-9887 and could not find any mention of the amplifier link feature. I may have overlooked it though, but can't remember seeing it.

By the way, I just installed the unit last night. So far I like it alot. My only real complaint so far is that I wished it had the ability to have all of the buttons light up green. I will play with it a little more today.

I know //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif........I made my decision earlier in the week //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif. It seemed to be a nice HU. Good processing abilities, nice simple display, Burrn Brown DAC, and I like not having the volume button do a bunch of things (kind of makes it diffucult to drive and switch songs on uneven surfaces). I am already getting the hang of it. I do miss the shortcut button on my CD7000, but I can still acces the audio menus pretty easily. The only thing that I really change around is the time alingment values. One setting is for when it's just me in the car, and the other is when I have passengers.
