alfred - 08 Dec 2007 02:24 GMT Hello,
A long while back someone told me that all Honda or if not Accord stereos are actually made by Alpine Stereos for Honda. I know that Alpine is considered a good company and I think at least for a while Lamborghini was using it as stock equipment. I think Alpine is Swiss made? My question is really it is is true that Accord stereos are really Alpine made?
Thanks, Al

Google this document and you'll find the stereo that's in many North American CR-V's, circa 1999 - 2004?: Panasonic CQ-EH8160AK The car OEM alarm in my '97 CR-V is made by Alpine.

Or you're an idiot, one of the two.
That's a fact.

The alarm in my '97 CR-V is a HONDA OEM alarm which I bought and installed later. I peeked inside and it has ALPINE's name on the circuit board. I quoted the Panasonic part number for the CR-V stereo so the OP can SEARCH it and see if it's the same stereo in his Accord. I think hat same stereo also appears in Odyssey in North America.

There are a number of options on many models that are OEM but installed by the dealer rather than by the assembly plant.

Polfus - 08 Dec 2007 04:53 GMT > Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > Thanks, > Al Good question..I doubt its an Alpine, but who knows. Don't forget Alpine can make good and crap stereos too :)

johngdole@hotmail.com - 09 Dec 2007 02:47 GMT Some earlier head units were made by Alpine, then around 98-99 or so many of them went to the cheap Panasonic. These are the ones giving you the PE0 CD error code. I like Alpine better, and IMO Panasonic stinks.
No Alpine is NOT Swiss, it only sounds European. Alpine is part of Alps Electric Company, Ltd. It's a Japanese company that makes excellent audio head units.

I think alfred was thinking of original "Alpine" chocolate, which is Swiss.

Especially that Lamborghini is Italian i would have thought they would use another european company to make their stereos. So now we know its Japanese, but I am still wondering if the Accord for 2008 does indeed use Alpine stereos? My Sentra used Clarion and my 1990 Miata used Pioneer. I tried to look at the bottom of my speakers to see if it says Alpine, but I don't see that.

Call 'em at 1-800-999-1009 and give em your radio anti-theft code, and they'll look it up for you.

Thanks.

You probably have the Alpine unit....Honda also told me there's no way to upgrade my stereo, and definately without voiding the entire electrical system warranty.
Aaarrggg...

I thought that was odd since my car is a J vin from Japan and I have the upgraded EX-L unit. They did say that there are several different ones that Honda uses though.

Glad you found out, though....
Peace, Polfus
johngdole@hotmail.com - 13 Dec 2007 02:01 GMT I guess Pioneer is the lowest bidder this time. Guess they aren't going back to Alpine anytime soon.

Don't know which type is Swiss, but if its Lindt or Godiva its for me! :)

Weird thing is I still like Hersey's chocolate more than anything else...and don't forget he was European so his chocolates really are too, even though they're made here.
