My 90Westy~VDubaru had an Alpine 7513 in it when I bought it, with the

6CD Changer in the Aux'Batt' compartment under the drivers seat. I was not at

all keen on the inconvenience of the changer & I wanted that space back so as to

use it for it's original intention & I also wanted a unit that had iPod connectivity

& controllability so I replaced the Alpine with a JVC KD-PDR30 & am quite happy

with it.
