Well, it's 11 degrees outside, but for a fanatic, why not run out and take a couple of pictures,,so here you are... Hope they are clear enough, but if not let me know..Note I have 2 cartridges, I just didnt have them installed since they still have my son's "hip hop" in them..(which I think make excellent drink coasters)
Why do you insist on Alpine, same plug and play connectors 6 pin and 3 pin as BMW OEM (which is what this is, NOT an alpine)..?
It was replaced under warranty which is why it has a 2002 date out of a 2000 323i car.
And for the record, and not ripping anyone off (I think I have a pretty good rep here), I havent used it in YEARS so you bought it, you own it. But for $25 unless it's melted in a ups truck on the way to you, it probably can be fixed cheaper than new.
Let me know what you would like to do. Good Luck ! edco
