Mopar = Alpine?

[BraytonAK]

Am I correct in hearing that the RAZ radio is built by Alpine? I know that Alpine has a feature in their own head units that causes the volume to gradually ramp up when the ignition is turned on. If the RAZ is an Alpine at heart, did the volume ramping feature at key-on just not get designed into the Mopar unit, or is it theoretically disabled? What a nice feature that would be for a factory head unit! I've yet to start the car and have the volume kill me, but it would be nice to fade-in to your entertainment.

I know that older Alpine 10 CD Chargers would work with PT's the newer ones didn't

I know for a fact that Alpine makes the Mopar Navigation Unit.

I had a different volume control thing on a rental car and it drove me nuts. If I am remembering this right, it got louder as you went faster. This meant that everytime I stopped at a light I had to turn up my music then turn it back down when I started moving again -until I figured out how to turn it off

Yep. My nav system's manual explicilty states that it is an Alpine unit.
