Can anyone ID this headunit please?

Pretty sure its an Alpine but the little sticker with the model number has come off the front!

Looks like a cheap alpine ripoff to me!

My sister had a very similar HU - certainly an Alpine but I couldnt tell you which.

It's not an alpine that's for sure.

Iaind's suggestion of a cheap ripoff is on the money.

I haven't got a clue, but it hurts my eyes trying to see it!

Looked like an Alpine at first glance, any pointers in the right direction then? Just need the connector for the to ISO that's all.

Looks like something that has come from Korea not an Alpine unit?

Likely tbh, just a lookalike - in that case, chances of finding the connector to it are slim to none I'd imagine!

Very slim, has it got any markings? Can you take a picture of the back connections?

If there's a manual stating what connections are what on the back you can get a blank ISO and chop it to it quite easily with connectors and a crimper. As everyone else has said it's the same layout and colour scheme as Alpines (same as the one my mate's got anyway) but it doesn't say Alpine on it, so it's presumably a chinese/korean cheapy type.

There is a wiring diagram on the top of the headunit itself but no manual. I guess I could get some pictures if necessary but i doubt it'd help!

all an ISO connector does is match up the wires coming out of your HU to the ones coming out of your car, with a blank ISO lead you can just match them up yourself if you can find the wiring diagram for your car's connector. Wouldn't take long

Yeah I could do that quite easily, just wondering if its going to be worth the effort if its a rubbish headunit
