I have an Alpine Ai-Net (bluish coloured with the Alpine writing on it) in my UniLink system and it works fine. The cables for Ai-Net, UniLink and JVC's J-Link are all electrically identical--they have the same connectors (some are right angled on some cables though) and are all wired "straight through" with no resistance, from what I know. You can try another cable because perhaps the cable is defective independent of it being Ai-Net or not, but if the cable is good the units should both work. The 210EQ should power up and be operable from the C90 if everything is connected right. If one or the other doesn't power up there is likely a problem with one of the units I would think.

Instead of the text/labels on top of the unit it just has the huge S O N Y logo on it and nothing else!? It might be a sticker I guess but it doesn't look like it, then again the picture isn't that great either and there is only one picture/angle to see the top of the unit in the auction. In fact from the other angle it looks like the top is white painted not silver like the rest of the unit (and other 210EQs). Perhaps it was once used in a Sony demo vehicle of some sort? I wonder... Anyhow if anyone wants a look see, here's the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=14931&item=5754855219 (Not my auction or anything just stumbled across it.) Roland M.
