Alpine IVA-D300 and it looks like it has the tv tuner thing too not sure what the little box is that has a bunch of wires going to it but nothing going out.
Just take it to Best Buy or another professional installer and have them put it in, that way it's covered in case they **** it up.

I had the IVA-D300 for about a month. It was such a bitch to install, but a friend and myself got it done after many hours and many expletives.
I got rid of it for many reasons. The read time on the CD's/DVD's (before they would start playing) were rediculous. The novelty of the touch screen wore off rather quickly as well. Not to mention that I loved security measure they implemented to conceal the unit, a plastic cover you have to put over it.
Good luck finding a spot to mount the brain. I ended up putting it on the front passenger side floorboard, under the floor mat, as close to the glove box as possible. I had to remind my passengers it was there. It would not fit under either seat, nor were the wires long enough to mount it in the hatch area.
EDIT: Nevermind, looks like it's going into a truck. I'm sure there's more area to work with as far as mounting the brain.
