Customer Ratings & Reviews

The sound is great, bluetooth works well and connect quickly. No problems with the CarPlay or anything else. Only complaint is that it doesn’t show the album art on music but if you don’t care about that then it’s perfect.

The best radio I had I like the screen size it has a good quality sound and works great with the camera

I have an 07 Jeep Grand Cherokee that I have put a lot of money into and gave it a lot of class. With that being said I was not interested in a competition stereo with amps and speakers all over the place. This fits in the dash very nice and very flush and the amp they make that goes with this snaps right on the back of it and combined with Alpine speakers I am certain I am going to enjoy this well more than stock. How loud does it really have to be? I'm a musician but I'm 53 years old and I'm not trying to entertain people on the next block. I wanted something that would sound good in my vehicle that is crystal clear and that I can feel. Alpine has a very nice system here. Very classy yet custom look with premium sound which is exactly what I was going for.

Best install ever. The geek squad team is amazing had me up in running in less than 2 hours plus the CarPlay is so user friendly and gives a nice luxury feel to my car

Powerful, slim design. Various sound controls. Great product, great price.

Huge upgrade over the OEM radio in my Silverado. Steering wheel controls work and the back up camera is fantastic. Sound quality is superb.

Service was quick and easy. I have enjoyed this so much.

Good radio, connects to the phone easily, clear sound

"The Alpine ILX-W650 redefines automotive audio excellence with its seamless integration of superior sound and intuitive functionality. This system delivers an exceptional in-car entertainment experience, boasting a user-friendly touchscreen interface and extensive media compatibility. It stands as the optimal choice for those seeking top-tier audio enhancement in their vehicles."

So the reason for my score is that the advertising on this was a bit misleading. I was under the impression that CarPlay would work via Bluetooth when that is not the case. CarPlay only works via USB on this. I was told after it was installed that another model for an extra $150 would support CarPlay via Bluetooth. Outside of that, this works fine. I still can’t figure out how to get the front camera working and I’m not a fan of the cones for the rear camera. There’s a lot of options for tuning the audio to your liking. Bluetooth calling works fines. I’ve put it to the test with both regular calls and conferencing apps like Zoom/Teams. Not super intuitive but it’s not exactly ikea furniture either. Overall it’s fine. Catch it on a Black Friday sale or something.

I like the fact that you can really customize the sound to a specific person.

I wanted something simple, clean with apple car play capability that would not break the bank, I love the clean button free design. Looks fantastic when off. The touch screen is fast and responsive. I wish the volume gesture worked when in car play, it does not or I have not figured that out. Also you cannot change the color scheme, or background at all but considering the price, its well worth it!

Great stereo, this is a great stereo for the price. Sounds great and works well with my Rockford Fosgate amp and subs. I love how easy it was to add a backup camera to my ruck with this as well. Having apple music and android auto is also amazing. It does get a little buggy if you are on a call, with a GPS open, and you get a text. But overall it is great!

This product works great in my Nissan Xterra 2006! I'd highly recommend this product to anyone interested in buying a stereo for a good price. The free BestBuy installation went smoothly and the installer let me be present while installing it.

Good value but would probably go for a higher priced/value next time. Disappointed with the restrictions on changing the setup - have to be in park with the e-brake on. Display esthetics are just ok. However, it did fix the bad reception i had with the original radio.

Its Great sound, easy to work, glad i made the purchase

Excellent head unit. Replaced stock unit in a 2011 civic. Perfect fit with the new double din dash plate (bought separately). Apple car play is awesome... completely syncs just about everything with an Iphone. Have not tried android but assume it's the same. I have this powering a 2200w complete system. Once in a blue moon, it does clip, I think it's from heat because I have the alpine KTP-445U mounted behind it but it rarely happens, only when I'm really pushing it for long extended periods. There's a TON of x-over/eq settings, but you don't get to access them unless car is in park and e-brake is on. But there's a TON. (I use none of them, all filtering is done at the amp level). I do hate that you can't customize the wallpaper. I think that would have been a great feature to add. Also, would have been great if it streamed youtube videos. I get it... it's a safety feature... but even in park with e-brake on... you cannot stream video to it... BUT... you can put video onto a USB stick and with the car in park and ebrake on, you can view videos on said USB stick. Other than that... nice crisp, clear head unit... exactly what you'd expect from Alpine.

I purchased this Alpine stereo for a 2010 Jeep Wrangler. Also, I had Best Buy install the stereo. The stereo fits perfectly and sounds great. It's easy to use and the Apple CarPlay feature is awesome. Best Buy did a great job installing the stereo. I highly recommend both the stereo and Best Buy's installation services.

Best Buy Geek Squad installed it in our 2009 Lexus ES350. It's a great improvement and will be thoroughly enjoyed for many years. The Apple CarPlay is amazing and it's so integrated with the steering wheel controls that it feels like a factory upgrade. Voice controlled navigation, texting, Spotify, and all the amazing controls work great. Now looking to upgrade the other vehicles in the near future.

Enjoying stereo replacement, better than toyota/jbl oem. Android auto works good
