How to find old HUs

How do you guys look up model numbers on older head units? I'm trying to find an Alpine that is a few years old and am having no luck.
Maybe someone knows it....
- It is a standard DIn unit, but the face is slightly larger than a normal face
- Instead of the normal 6 buttons on bottom, it has at least 10 because I believe a phone could be hooked up to it
- The face slides into the unit itself to hide
- It is at least 3 years old
I have been trying to find this unit all day but have had no luck.

I believe them had an issue with getting stuck...
Just a heads up, I would research it a bit more.
Can I ask why you would want that deck? For the phone feature?
Actually here it is, straight from ALpine:

So if you dont use an Alpine amp, it may not fold up into itself...
What another way for a Mfg to say it just sometimes doesnt work...lol

Well, I just bought one. Actually, got its big brother, the 7998. The 7998 doesn't have an internal amplifier but has a much nicer display:
Much nicer than the one in Ryans post.
