Hi,

I'm looking for an Alpine 7990 F#1 Status Headunit!!

Let me know if you have one, or know of someone willing to sell.

Cheers.

your insane.

Maybe so, but i want one!

I know shiny has one. Good luck in the search though, you'll need it, they are rarer that your processor

IMO just go for something like a 9965E, DVD playback and can control the PXA.

I don't like the glide touch on the 9965

And Shiny wouldn't sell his for all the money in the world


Will probably end up with a W502 double din screen if i cant find one.

ebay - they pop up from time to time.

not the same...but...with a nice screen it could be the goods...

Don't like flip screens.
If i bought a screen it'd be a w502...

Still lookering.

I got a user manual and service manual for the 7990 - you could build one from scratch using the circuit diagrams, or get alpine to supply all the spare parts...

LOL

Ive got An Alpine CDA 7998 R im lookin at sellin..... interested????

How much do u think theyre worth???

I currently have a 7998r, not after another one.

Do u kno wot the 7998R's are worth???

Looking at selling mine, ive got no idea wot its worth now

Just out of interest give Juerg a call at Auto Accoustics a call, he mite have a second hand unit as he did a fair bit of F1 Status install work, he's now moved and is in St.Peter's in Sydney.

Justa thought

expect $450 in good condition for a 7998R these days.. i have 2 of them in mint condition, paid $350 for one, $450 for the other.

sweet thanx mate, ebay here i come

i haven't quite worked out what country it's from (!), but it's an option. looks like a Jap version (ie: 7990J); not sure if that's an issue. buttons are in 'english', but worth checking the display is too.

There is a NZ website called trademe,a guy is selling one atm its brand new but he wants $3500 for it,seems like alot 2 me,he's also got a PXA900 brand new,i know thats not the exact mod number but you know what it is,i guess with the exchange rate it might drop the price a bit and he may be neg,he's had them for sale for a while,hope this helps,cheers REG

farque danny...

this could be the unit for you...

$3500 NZD is WAAAAAAAY overpriced.

Definately not prepared to splash out that much just for a transport, however pretty it may look...

But thanks for letting me know

hardly. if its for a new unit, nzd 3500 = Aud3100

the one in poland is PLN3500 = AUD2000.

overpriced, but not THAT far overpriced....

i think you'd have to really want it for AUS$3K, but i suppose that's what F1 is about. it's hard to put a value on it - cos if you want it and can afford it, you'd pay it. would be awesome if it was $1K, but that's unrealistic.

given they retailed for AUS$3999, a price of $3K suggests it is holding value very well. but again, 'good value' or 'overpriced'. glass half-full or half-empty? just depends how you see it.

Richard,

Have seen multiple 7990J's going for ~$1k USD.
Am hoping a 7990R pops up for around that price, and the AUD jumps back up against the green back.

get a 9861 - it'll play MP3 and DVD, and it's full-speed enabled.

optical out is nicer than the 7998

Think it's the asethetics Danny desires, not the DVD-playback, Simon.

yeah, I know that

hey if aesthetics is what your after strathfield car radios has a special on roadsound spindle radiocasettes,lol

Theres one going for sale on diyma at the moment.

Yeah, it's a J unfortunately
And damn our $ for dropping against the greenback so much.
