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.

Great sound quality, using carplay and it works great. Tried an atoto unit but had to replace it twice because of weird sound on only one channel, switched back to known brand and it work great.

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

Love this Alpine iLX-W670-S! The screen is bright and responsive, and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto works perfectly. Easy to install and sounds great. Very happy with the upgrade — looks clean and modern in my dash!

I am only giving a 4 because I am replacing a iLX-W650 which was horrible. The original unit would not provide sound if it was left sitting in the Texas heat for more than a couple of hours, and if it was "working" speakers would periodically go out from time to time. The new iLX-W670-S is working wonderfully. The radio does not pick up many stations but that could be the Jeep antenna adapter and the 670 at least gets some stations where the old 650 did not pick up any. I have the Sirius-XM adapter which works well, but I have it connected to the original Jeep Sirius-XM antenna which often loses the signal. Overall, the iLX-W670-S seems to work well and with the Alpine KTA-450 Amp actually overpowers the new Kicker speakers if I go over volume level 24, but that is plenty loud enough in my Jeep wrangler JK. Unlike the iLX-W650, I am enjoying this head unit very much.
