Customer Ratings & Reviews

Super straightforward install in a 2012 Kia Sorento. Sound quality appears better with factory speakers than with the factory head unit. A huge selling point for me was the ability directly wire steering wheel controls to the factory harness and map the buttons with the head unit software, eliminating the need for the ~$70 Axxess interface (which Crutchfield still recommends with this unit). Also note that the metra wiring harness for the Kia Sorento does not come wired for steering wheel controls (pins 16 and 17) or the factory mic in the headliner (pins 1 and 2) on connector C. I purchased a second harness and made my own wires to avoid having to tap into any factory wires as the Axxess documentation suggests. Rather than tap into the parking brake to access Bluetooth and steering wheel control options I tapped into the illumination wire as suggested by a YouTube video. This means I need to turn the headlights on/off instead of applying and releasing the parking brake. Do this at your own risk, obviously. CarPlay and Android Auto work flawlessly, though it is a little picky on the cable being used. Slightly annoying is that the clock has no option to be manually set and must use the GPS (not included in my Open Box - Good unit). My unit also came with a 3.5mm Mic, not the 2.5mm mic this unit uses. Overall to get an Alpine unit that supports wired Android Auto/Apple CarPlay that work with my steering wheel controls and delivers excellent sound quality for less than $250 (including all installation wiring and dash trim parts) represents a great value.

I purchased this open box after reading some reviews about this specific model. The install took me a little time because I hadn't did one in ages, but was I got back in the groove it worked out well. I would definitely purchase open box again. No complaints at all!!

Met all of my expectations. Bluetooth works well on calls and Android auto pairs to phone seamlessly. Backup camera view in Alpine is clear and crisp with no delay.

Great sound, easy to use, touch screen looks nice.

Great radio, fit right into my 2010 dodge with the pac module and dash kit. Ran the USB out the console to plug your phone and input Jack. Great unit!

This is my 4th Alpine receiver. Great quality at a great price. Bought it for use with a backup camera and it works fantastic.

Very good product would definitely buy again and great service and quick delivery

Very faulty. Fast when working. But when it doesn’t forget about it. Screen goes black. People complain they can’t hear me yet the mic is installed right above where I sit in the truck. And lags a lot. Wouldn’t recommend.

Was very happy and satisfied with this. Slick and sharp looking. Sound and clarity amazing. Easy navigation around the different screen and settings. Easy install. Couldn’t be happier.

This Alpine 6.75" Digital Media Receiver is exactly what I needed for my car. For the price, it offers a lot of features and delivers great sound quality. Apple CarPlay works well and connects about 95% of the time, which is convenient for my daily drives. I’m giving it 4 out of 5 stars because the screen occasionally goes black and won’t reset unless I power the unit off and back on. Despite that minor issue, it’s still a solid choice and perfect for my commuter car.

I am very pleased with the quality of the radio. Currently running a fully stock speaker system and with all the functionality within the headunit I was able to get a significant improvement in sound. Mainly happy about how well Apple CarPlay works. Only downside is that it is wired,

Bought it for a 2014 F150. I have after market speakers and subs, the quality of the audio went up tremendously after installing this radio. But it was not compatible witj my volume controls on my steering wheel.

I love Alpine products and have them in two other vehicles of mine, Brandon Arce did an amazing job as usual with the install, and now my 1996 Corvette has arrived in the 21st century with the latest TECH from my go to place for all things car audio, BESTBUY

Overall great product but a downside/complaint I have are that at times when I start my car the "alpine" start up animation turn on, the screen is just black until I tap the home button on the headunit for it to turn on.

No screen mirror. Other then that work better then expected.

Decent double din for the money. Screen not as bright as Alpine claims. CarPlay is a bit quirky, highly advise using true Apple lightening cable and high speed data Android cable.

Very impressed with this unit for the price point. Plenty functionality and good sound you would expect from Alpine. Installed in my daughters 2008 Cobalt to give her some modern features like a rearview camera and Apple Carplay. Added a sub and amp and it sounds great.

Product works well. Touch screen and hand free calling work amazingly. Only issue is the receiver froze a couple times but turning off and starting car reset it and it resumed normal function. Overall a great buy.

Great touchscreen stero for the price with SiriusXm. The stero is easy not navigate and has good sound quality. The installation process was awesome. They let me know what they were doing, and if i needed anything else, during the whole process.

Great! Just wish it had a remote for the volume or a knob. Other than that it is great.
