Alpine head units

I have been looking into getting a new cd player. My car was broken into and the idiots obviously didn't know what they were doing, cause they tried to pry out the cd player. What morons. Well the problem is that my cd player has a motorized flip face, and I think that damaged the teeth, cause when the face flips over it gets stuck. And it has been getting worse. I am afraid that one of these days the face will get stuck permanently. Hence I am looking for a new H/U.

I never liked Alpine H/U's. I don't know why, I think the name just didn't seem lilke a good company. I know I'm wierd. :p But I have been researching Alpine cause a few people recomended them. And when I did, man do their cd players have some really nice features for customizing your sound. I am really impressed with them. I am probably gonna get the CDA 7995. Check out these features...

generally, the best thing about alpine CD players is that they NEVER skip.

and not to mention they have great noise to signal ratio for a more clearer sounding. my cousin has one of the older alpine hu and i absolutely love the sounding of it. it's so clear compare to my pioneer headunit. he's what his looks like.

i dont know if you need to buy a new one if its still under warenty you can get it fixed by alpine, or goto a car stero shop to fix it it probably be about 50 - 100 dollars to fix but beats trashing your 800+ deck
