Alpine switches

[nujon]

PMI but anyone know the difference between the Alpine KCA 410c (discontinued) and the Alpine AOU 410C - widely available new @ £150 to £170?

It looks as if the AOU-410C includes the ability to switch two AV sources and two audio changers whereas the KCA-410C only switches audio sources.

PM RichardP - he's the guy in the know.

I've not seen this device before, it appears to be very new and I can't find a user manual on the Alpine site.

The pictures on the net appear to show the KCA-410c, unless the AOU-410c is identical, which I doubt, this may just be because no pictures exist yet.

If you follow Alpines naming convention, then this device is not an AI-Net unit, AI-Net devices have the thirst letter as 'A'. But the descriptions I can find say that it is for use with an AI-Net head unit, so I don't know what to make of it.

Thanks Richard - for e.g., one of the suppliers is here:- http://www.thurgo.co.uk/alpine-aou-410c-i19286.html

To me that looks just like a KCA-410c, but it's too fuzzy to be sure.
