Right, here we go:

I had an opportunity to get from JDM car breakers some sort of Alpine equipment, not tested.
I have CVA-1005R and brain CVA-C800 plus other bits: CDA-9812R, NVE-N077PS. So far did check CDA player and it works.
My questions:
1. Problem with testing CVA-1005R: does one need a data cable connected with brain unit to power up? I have only 4-pin power cable (dimmer, battery, ground), and unit don't response.
I assume that I need data cable to hook up with CVA-C800, as brain unit has all ISO harness and aerial input. But anyone can share some wisdom?

2. Has anyone tried Alpine maps in other EU countries? How good quality are they? I need especially PL, CZ, SK, D, A. So most important form me is Central Europe coverage. Couldn't get any sensible info from web.

You're probably better off posting this on Talkaudio; i'm sure an answer will pop up fast.
