Would you say 1982-83?
Is it rare?

I'm after an Alpine myself. Think I'm going to go for a new single slot MP3 effort.
I think Alpine is the best manufacturer for the MK1- Green lights and simple styling fit perfectly within the MK1's user environment :wink:
I used to own a mk1 - well I've had 2 actually - YDU 720X & SMU 420Y. Currently I drive an 98 Scotia White Mitsubishi Evolution V RS…. fancy getting another mk1 someday

It has a single green light (not even an LED) for lighting up the FM dial and you have to turn the dial to tune it. The other control is off-on-volume… and er… that's it.
Down here in Kent the only thing I can pick up are french radio stations, nobody else appears to be transmitting on these frequencies here anymore!
Needless to say, on long journeys it is supplemented by a rather non-80s iRiver 20gigabyte mp3 player…
Cheers,
Drew.

I've also got an early Blaupunkt, I think it is the same model as yours Drew:

Every item on my car date c 1982- 83 and I'm even playing cassettes from the 80s. Must be a total fruit cake!
Just for interest (being nosey again) what have the rest of you got in the box above the heater controls?

I'm saving up for a 2005 head unit as all my music now is mp3 format 8)
I've only got old "Now thats what I call music" tapes and never listen to them. Although there is some good tunes on Now 1994 ha ha

My Alpine is probably an early 80's model because only 5 wires are on the back, speaker left, speaker right, speaker common ground, earth and live. It has no Dolby and lights up white and not green as most people would think. Thats it nothing else.
