Any contacts in japan

[phatpat240]

Hey guys I had a question about some japan headunits.I was on alpine japan website and I was checking out their headunits.Their units are much nicer than ours.Anyhow, I was wanting a alpine double din cd/md player (japan edition)Does anyone have any contacts in japan who could buy and ship to the us? I contacted japandy on ebay,and he said he doesn't do car audio stuff. I'm looking for the 2003 model stuff.The model #'s aremda-905jb and mda-915jif anyone has the hookup please let me know. BWT,you double din lovers should check them out on alpines website.thanks

I've got two websites for you

http://www.melting-pot.com - they sell a decent amount of japanese market head units. they are kinda pricy but then again they all are like the top of the line models in japan.

http://www.silviaparts.com - They have a select few sony, and alpine decks on there page. I'm sure if you gave them a called or mailed them you could find the exact model your looking for.

I haven't actually bought from either of them but they look like reputable companies and both take paypal which is a plus(for me at least not having a credit card yet)

Hey thanks for the link.Man I never knew they were gonna be so expensive. That nakamichi deck is killer though,but $1800 wow.

i checked silvia parts and they don't have anything up. i think they get a container in and sell everything. And yeah those head units are pricey. I'm still trying to find anywhere cheaper and i'm not turning up much.

Keep in mind that the prices on Melting Pot are high, but your final price could be even higher.

You might try yahoo.jp auctions, a guy in Infiniti General is looking to do some side business with small easliy shipped items.

I understand when importing headunits, the tuners are setup where they do not work properly overhere. Different frequencies or some such....

yeah melting pot says they include the correct convertor box so they'll work over here. I don't listen to the radio much anyway so i don't think it'd affect me too much.

[phatpat240]

Yeah also melting pot sells converters if you already have a jdm radio

MECPinstaller....What kind of wheels do you have in the pic on your post?
