  1. Can somebody please tell which radio was installed in the Countach QV?

    According to my information it was the Alpine 7145E. However I'm not a 100% sure if this is correct and if there were different types installed during the years.

    I'm doing this from memory, but I think for the Countach QV, the Alpine 7148L (and onwards depending on the year) was used.

    Thank you Joe.

    It might be well the case that they used different ones during the production time of the QV.

    Any other information is highly welcome.

    My USA 1986 has the Alpine 7273. I have 3 friends here in Washington with a 1986 and a 1987 and a 1988 1/2. All 3 are USA spec and have the Alpine 7273.

    I think the Euro cars were different as Joe mentioned above.

    Correct, with the Eu/ROW cars, the models numbers simply increase with time from 1985 to 1988.

    Eu cars use a slightly different FM frequency range to the US, hence the different model numbers then and also now

    I have a 1986 QV DD, Canadian Car. Im looking for the correct deck that came with my car.
    Ive done similar research. This is what I found:


    5000s 1983 - 1984: Alpine 7128L or 7148L
    Euro QV DD: Alpine 7256 (Classic Dual knob - Other similar 7138, 7163, 7164, 7263)
    Euro QV DD 1987: Alpine 7374
    USA QV 1986, 1987,1988.5: Alpine 7273 (Other similar: 7284L, 7385)
    Anniversario: 7385 (Cassette) or 7903 (CD)

    I don't know if this list is accurate, but it makes sense to me :)

    My 1985 QV has a stock 7148L. It was delivered in Italy where it spent its entire life until I acquired the car. Most 85 carbureted QV’s seem to have this model.
