Alpine iLX-W650 7" Mech-Less Receiver Compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

This is my first touchscreen head unit and it is worlds more advanced than any head unit I've had before. This Alpine unit is simple to use and tweak to your liking. The screen is bright and easy to see during the day when its sunny outside and dims automatically at night. You can also adjust the brightness and dimness of the screen to your liking. Sound quality is first class and you know you are getting Alpine sound a build quality which will bring you years of quality use. All parts of this unit are very simple to use including the 9 band EQ, making or receiving calls, or navigating to a destination. Before buying this unit I compared it to the Kenwood DMX9706S which cost about $100 more (best I could find on internet). The Kenwood is obviously a great unit (I have Kenwood in my other automobile) but the Alpine just seemed easier to manipulate and manage due to its simple (iPhone - Like) feel. Of course the Alpine is compatible with both Android and Apple Car Play which is very nice for navigation, playing music, and making calls. When shopping for a new head unit I found most of the units were very comparable and do a lot of the same things (sort of like comparing smart phones) but I felt this Alpine head unit was the simplest to use and I felt ease of use is particularly important when you are installing it in an automobile. Also the price on it is better than the competition as I picked this one up for $279.00. It's a good buy on a great unit. Cannot go wrong with Alpine as the sound quality is definitely what you expect from Alpine.

Como siempre la marca no decepciona, esta vez Alpine hace honor a sus productos ! Es asombroso su sonido y sus funciones están de primera !

I had to get a new phone as my old one wasn't really compatible with the system, which I guess I was due got a new phone anyways. But either way it's working great after about 16 months of owning it, even throughout the cold Canadian weather. The steering wheel controls won't work for a few minutes if it's really cold, but the touch screen does regardless. Very happy with this and I was even able to get a backup camera because of this, I'd highly recommend!

Excelente estéreo buena calidad de sonido excelente apariencia

This is a great radio that is pretty easy to install if you have both qiring diagrams for your vehicle and the radio. It looks godd inside if the vehicle and functions well. Android auto works flawlessly for me, once I got a new cable. Beware that a bad usb cable or phone charging port will cause issues. I installed this in an 08 corvette that luckily already had an aftermarket radio installed. It already had a gm class2 serial data module in it for aftermarket radios which made installation so much easier. Otherwise you need a source of ignition as well as always on battery power. As for the parking brake problem, the module has to see the signal, then it has to see voltage drop. So if you connect it to ground it will not work, because it has to see power first. I have to release my parking brake, then reapply it to access features. If you don't have a module that gives you this signal, connect it how the book says. Volume buttons only, no know. Looks better that way but harder to use. I noticed I dont have that good of bass coming out but I will keep messing with the advanced sound settings amd see if I can fix that.
