    Hi, I'm looking to purchase the Alpine 9835 MP3 Player, I plan to Install it
    in my 2003 Mk4 Astra SXi, I'm looking for quite a bit of advice before I go
    part with my hard earned cash.

    I would like to know the following.

    1: Going off some of the web sites retailing the Alpine 9835, the only
    pictures I can find of the unit seem to have the displayed shown in black
    and white, is this the case or is the display colour?

    2: I want to be able to make use of the factory radio display console on my
    Astra as well as the stereos display, I've been told that quite a few
    stereos can make duel use of this i.e. : some Kenwood systems, however I see
    from the specs of the 9835 that it says "vehicle display output" does this
    mean I could plug whatever wiring I have straight into the back or would I
    need a interface?

    3: Another question would be that I want to be able to use my steering wheel
    controls on my Astra and that the Alpine 9835 specs state "OEM Steering
    control output", would I need an adaptor or again would this plug straight
    in.

    PS: I acknowledge that I would need a ISO adaptor for the power/speakers
    etc, I have a standard CD500 stereo installed in my Astra atm.


    I was looking at this stereo in Halfords but none of the staff in there
    could answer any of my questions, I don't want to me branching out over £400
    to find out it can't do what I want it to do.

    Many thanks for any help and advice.
