Question alpine remote question.

went ahead and got a new head unit today..... alpine cda 7894.... its older, but i got it new, and cheap.... so first question--- was this a stupid decision? seems like a good unit...... planning on installing it this week....

anywho, i purchased it as an "open-box" item, and it didnt have its remote.... SO--are all alpine remotes interchangable? i'd definitely like one for it.....

thanks!

Yes they are interchagable. I have an alpine in all 3 of my cars and love them all I have had the one in my 442 the longest ( I think 5 years now and it still works like new) After the great experiances I have had I'll only buy alpine. You can contact alpine and they can send you a remote but I think it may be $$$.

Alpine has been using the same remote frequencies for the past 5 years. You should be able to get one at your local dealer for about $20. Or try 1-800-REMOTES I know they usually can get you car audio remotes and manuals. Doesnt hurt to try and they are usually the cheapest around.

Nope no reprgraming, I misplaced one of the remotes and just used one of the others I had until I found it.
