Alpine ILX-507 review 

Thank you and they also released a new update as well it’s a 4.0xxxx it adds Sirius xm with 360 which is pretty cool

how do you like it now?

Was you able to hook up maestro in your truck? My truck is incompatible which is a bummer.

GPS isn't space based mate, it is groundbased, which is why you can lose it in the mountains. It doesn't require cell service, it's a different system.

I did have to buy a tuner and steering wheel controls. Depending on vehicle as mine is not compatible but the maestro data link allows you to be able to keep your factory Sirius Xm tuner and steering wheel controls as well as update your steering controls to use however you want

I have no issues whatsoever with the touchscreen. Because of my year truck maestro is not compatible. I’m using pac audio for my controls. I think it is a cp5.

Annie aka CarSteroChick was testing different cameras on the 507. Do you like your backup camera and if so what model are you using. It looked clear in your video. I see you watched her video and I’m relieved you don’t have the same issues she was having. Maybe a firmware issue. I made it to the end of your video and now I know you covered that your truck isn’t compatible. I’m going to buy this model now that I know the touchscreen is working properly.

Are used a micro bypass that I bought off of Amazon. I think I got it for less than 10 bucks now the power inverter I bought was I believe $40 at O’Reilly’s the brand is green fuel 150 white power inverter and I have that hidden behind the dash, but other than that all you need is your HDMI and I recently bought a AT&T Harman spark that has Wi-Fi just so I don’t have to use the hotspot from my phone or tablet.

@@derekmoore6467 thank you for the quick response and information

What bypass are you referring to? And I just use Apple CarPlay wireless which works flawlessly. You can use the usb adapter or by the Apple hdmi adapter. I have not tried either since I also have my Apple tv connected to the hdmi.

@@derekmoore6467 for bypassing the parking brake to watch videos and get into settings

Yes you have to enable it in settings and you can also have it mute the radio when you put it in reverse as well

I have not had any issues with the screen on this radio whatsoever. There are a few things I wish they would have done considering it has the TIDAL app on the radio which uses Wi-Fi and with the new update with Sirius XM 360 L if you’re using CarPlay or android auto wireless, you can’t do them both together but other than that it’s a great radio

I believe it does but don’t quote me on it.

The only customization you can do is change the screen color. Wish their was more like the earlier units you could add custom splash screens and wallpaper

No I have not. Did you connect the gps antennae?

I'm having the same issue. Cable works fine but wireless won't work. I'll be doing the firmware update on the head unit tomorrow to see if that works. My phone is galaxy s21 plus on android 13.

Try doing an update and see if that fixes it make sure that your phones Bluetooth and Wi-Fi is on

@Derek Moore I did the update this morning and no dice. From my understanding you have to plug the phone to the head unit first and then after that it will do it wireless per research and alpine instructions. I clear the head unit of my phone info but this time paired bluetooth first instead of pluging it up. Now wireless android auto works like a charm!

@@davidhouk7454 that’s awesome. I really didn’t know that. I didn’t have a android so I didn’t know exactly what to do. iPhone just paired up like any other Bluetooth device.

Sorry, I can’t do a full music demo due to the fact that copyright protection Bs. But what exactly would you like in the demo?

@@derekmoore6467 cool

It's some on RU-vid u can use but thanks anyway.

I’ll try to see what I can do on doing some kind of music demo I just need to know what you would like to see
