Well I'm upgrading my head unit this spring and thought I was going to stay with a head unit/changer combo, but then my brother had one of these left at the shop he works for and they had gotten a special buy on it, so I had to take advantage of this opportunity.

If you want even bigger musical selection than you can get from a CD changer, here's the unit for you. A hard disc drive player that can store approximately 3,000 songs in MP3 or WMA formats and also plays back WAV files. The HDA-5460 comes with its own software for easy downloading, creating and editing playlists.

Also the music visualizer graphics and sharp bright BioLite display make the graphics easy to view even in daylight.

The hdd is actually a removable cartridge behind the faceplate, it's just as easy as removing a cd. Whenever I wanted to get a couple new songs, i'd always end up waiting to have enough songs I wanted to burn a cd. I like the fact that now I can just pull out the hdd and add new songs whenever.

It retails on the website for $1800, the shop had gotten a special buy on it and were selling it for $1000, but I paid alot less (about cost +5%), it was too good of a deal to pass up.

16GB HD eh? It's not SCSI, so it's a bastardized IDE 3.5" drive. Pity, they should have used a 2.5" laptop drive. Easier to make shock-tolerant, and easy to work with. Plus, saves space for more internal goodies.
Overall, a sweet deck. Congrats.

What is the output like? I can get my hands on one of these pretty cheap, but doesn't it only provide rca output on the rear? I though it isn't really a full head unit and still requires a HU to operate to provide amplification and volume control to your speakers.

First off.
Empty the trash can. :blink:
Secondly, It's a great idea for a deck. I think it's rather expensive for something you can't watch a movie on.
I'll bet the features on that are enough to make anyone go insane.
Have fun!

Yes it does require a head unit, and it provides rca and alpine ai-net connections.

That's the only issue.. I would need to do quite a bit of custom work to fit another din sized deck into the focus opening..
Lately I've been trying to stealth install as much of the stuff I have hanging on the dash as possible. I installed an IP bus (Pioneer) interfaced XM receiver system so I can control and view all my XM radio stuff on the pioneer deck without a big ugly receiver sitting on one of my vent mounts. Likewise, I have an ipod that I aux-in into the deck and that sits in front of yet another vent mount which I want to remove. Pioneer is actually releasing an IPOD interface adapter this year (Alphine already has one in the market). Using the adapter, the head unit can control and play tracks/playlists from your ipod and display all the relevant information and charge the unit as the same time.
I believe this is the way to go for anybody thinking about doing an mp3 install (Pioneer and Alpine HU's only...)
