The best Alpine ever made.. ever! Buy it youll love it! plenty of power music settings.
While I have been a fan of Alpine in the past this one does not meet expectations. In fact it is the worst head unit I have used in the last 10 years. I went from a Pioneer NEX-1400 to this and it was a massive downgrade. Immediately after installing the speakers pop when I shut off the ignition. Following that the CarPlay screen looked washed out having no contrast. It looks 10 years old. Then, on a 1300 mile trip, my brand new iPhone 13 was an "incompatible device" almost half of the trip when I really needed CarPlay Maps. And to top it off, the radio randomly turns on. It happened 6 times in 2 hours yesterday while I was using CarPlay. I don't listen to the radio so it's just static. I mute it and after a phone call or looking at a text, the radio unmutes itself. I have never actively hated a head unit until now and spent 3 hours yesterday reinstalling the Pioneer which works flawlessly.
Very nice head unit
very easy to use and has lots of features too and i got it a very low price so what a steal!
This was my first time buying an aftermarket head unit and I'm truly impressed with what I have chosen. The sound quality is absolutely top-notch, and has a solid build as what it looks like. It also has a 9-band para EQ if I want to shape the audio and its screen automatically dims when its already nighttime, which is pretty nice as I don't have to push some buttons anymore.
Very impressed with this unit, responsive screen, apple carplay works flawlessly, quick and easy setup, love all the inputs and output options, noticed immediately a significant improvement in sound quality, bluetooth hooks up perfectly, the speakers in my Toyota Tundra are now truly singing.
Excellent deal and very fast shipping.
Beautiful receiver! no wonder why so many love this head unit. very easy to use, the screen is responsive, and has Apple carplay, which is perfect for its price. Fits perfectly in my Tacoma. Great upgrade, great item from Alpine as always!
Perfect entry level stereo. Great features, nice sound quality, clear screen, and easy to use. Price is unbelievable!
Good
