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.

if there's an alpine alarm in your CR-V then it was probably installed
by the dealer.

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.

And it could still be OEM.

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

Good question..I doubt its an Alpine, but who knows. Don't forget Alpine can
make good and crap stereos too :)

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.

Hey thanks...I didn't know that.

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

Hi, well yes I was thinking that it did sound kind of european or bavarian.
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.

I just called Honda, and they said mine has a Pioneer unit.

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

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...

Well I called Honda and its the serial code they needed, but I have the
Pioneer unit also. 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.

Yes, thats why they needed your specific info for your car.

Glad you found out, though....

I guess Pioneer is the lowest bidder this time. Guess they aren't
going back to Alpine anytime soon.

I live in NYC, and there's a good supply of those types of chocolates.

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.

Peace,
