NEW! Alpine iLX-507 Multimedia Headunit. Car Stereo Review and Demo 

I have it. I got it with the two camera dash cam and backup camera. I like how the system works together. I run the three RCA out puts into two JL Audio amps, 4-way & Sub, with JL door speakers and an 8” Kicker L7. The pre out volt power is a non issue in sound to me. I feel like it brought my ‘98 Ranger back to life. My 2002 Pioneer had a good run till it died.

This is going in my SLK 280 this Wednesday. Cool video, local shop, good guys. Looks like you verified they know what they are doing. Thank you .

Great detailed review. Thank you! 😍 I'm getting this for my LS430. Want to hear about the RUX H02 added on this unit as well.

Thank you Josh, looking to upgrade the sound system in my C5. This might be what I need. Either way, I will stop by and see your techs for further analysis/advice. Great informative videos. 👍

Alpine IXL 507 is an amazing unit purchased 3 months ago in Aust & now many distributors are out stock.

So wonderful!

Hey Josh. Working with 06 F250. Has a kenwood DD 6.8. Two questions. If I go with the F509 can I use my double din mount or do I need to get single din? If so what kit do I need. Any problems running the 9in in my truck or should I go with the 507. Awesome videos brother, keep up the good work. 👍

Thanks for the video. How do you update the software?

Does this have 3 way active crossovers? High/Mid/Low outputs, or just front/rear/sub?

Clock: how do you set the clock? It had clock adjust but not place to change the actual time or does it keep the time aftet its paired with an android auto device

Great info. I recently bought a vehicle that has this head unit and I was wondering why so many features were not accessible. The parking brake "safety feature" is the issue. Now I know enough to be able to access the setup features.

Hey, I’m building a custom mount for a double din and the face plate through which the stereo face/screen will protrude is 3/16" thick. Do you offer a metal cage in which the stereo can be installed for a custom installation like this? Cutting a 4x7" double DIN hole. However, it appears that the screen itself may be larger than the standard 4x7" double DIN opening?

So would I use a single din dash kit or double din dash kit to install this head unit? Just ordered it so wanting to get a head start on shipping the hardware I need to install. Thank you.

Have a Sony 5500 I like thinking of switching to this for wireless aa and maestro...

How do you hook up two alpine direct connect cameras to this? The spec says it’s capable of it, but the breakout has RCA’s not the direct connect connector blocks?… EDIT never mind just got to the unboxing part. That dual direct connect breakout cable isn’t mentioned at all in alpines manual!

I have the iLX-F511 which the same with a bigger screen. I give it 5 stars too. I think I'm going to remove my expensive DSP. I don't feel I need it anymore because the Alpine head unit does it all.

My Audio Installer recommended the iLX-507 for my Ferrari California because it doesn’t have a CD player, which I don’t need, and it goes right into the slot/bracket where the antiquated and problematic Factory head unit sat without any cutting and drilling into my Ferrari. 👍👍 And this new head unit looks much cleaner and more Factory than the Factory head unit that was in my car. Love the Apple CarPlay on this new head unit!🔊🎵🎶🎼👍👍😎🏎️Hopefully Alpine will come out with a new updated Firmware soon to allow changing the opening screen on this iLX-507!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Hi, I was just wondering if this head unit is compatible with the optional DVE-5300 DVD player?

I saw a video of someone using HDMI iphone mirroring.. Could you show a video on how to do this with this stereo..?

Esta chingon bro.

Will this retain the factory rear entertainment in a 08 suburban with base? Thanks in advance

Hi! would you recommend this headunit or pioneer DMH 2600?

🤔 so which one do u recommend this alpine or the pioneer 4600NEX? I have a 08 trailblazer SS

I have the alpine ilx 60 I believe it’s ok but wish it came with a remote. I get nervous fiddling with it while driving.

Can you review the ATOTO S8 Ultra & S8 Ultra plus please and thanks

Does it have adjustable display height? Or fixed display?

ty can be used with 2nd monitor?

Is this still worth buying or wait for the next one?

Can the HDMI Output port of ILX 507 be connected to Optical Input(using convertor-adaptor) of the physical DSP and can it play Audio from Optical Input of DSP ?

Do you know when Alpine will release the ilx-F600 series? I am looking at a 509 but I dont want to buy now if they will release a new model in 2024. Hope you can help.

So I like this headunit quite allot but I can't buy it in Europe unless I import it which would add up the cost quite allot. I was looking at the iLX-705D but it really bugs me that it has wireless apple but not android and I'm an android user. Do you have any suggestion on a quality headunit to buy within this price range that is available in Europe (not UK)? Should I hold on for a few months to see the 2023 lineup? ATM I have a crap android HU that the previous owner installed and it's getting on my nerves :/

I have it and can not display the time? It just shows the two dashes dot and two dashes. What do I have to do?

How u get the android auto to be wireless?

I have a 2001 safari trek motor home & I bought a alpine ine w970 HD & put it in, how can I get my TV to go through it or watch a DVD from the stereo to the TV the TV is a Samsung smart tv. Any ideas thanks

Anyone know how to change the satellite channel presets. I now have a couple of the same channels preset and can’t figure out how to remove or add a new channel over the duplicated channels.

Do you have a link for the PAC TR1?

is there any dvd radio with similar features?

Going to be going with this radio instead of the 4600Nex

Just bought it, and had a place install it. The time says 00:00, and I can't adjust it. How do I get the time to work? When I hit the 00:00, it dissapears, and if I tap again, it reappears. Need help plz

Would you recommend this head unit over the JVC KW-M865BW ? My main concern are the volt preout . I would like a 5volt preout head unit but is there a really a difference between one with a 4volt? I really like the features on the alpine head unit but the jvc comes with the 5volt preout.

Does it support 360 degree camera?

is screen lag a problem? I have herd sometimes this unit is laggy

2017 grand cherokee laredo? (W/ base 5" screen)

Will this fit a 2006 tundra?

My Bugbear you can't change the Blue Buttons to a different colour, apart from that I'm pleased with the Alpine 705d 👌

I am thinking about buying this particular radio, do you think the 4v preout is "bad" compared to the 5v preout? I am aware that 5v is better but do I really feel the difference? Thanks and great video

So does screen size determine din size as far as width is concerned? I have a Pioneer AppRadio 4 now which I believe has a 6.2” wide screen. I’m wondering if this Alpine will be too wide

Hey @Breakers.... I know I'm a little late but do you know if this unit will allow a split screen between carplay and navi. I.e. can you have both apps open side by side to display music and maps

This vs the kenwood 957xr??

I’m looking for a good double din which one is better the pioneer 4660 nex or this alpine ilx 507 ?

Cop’d last month

hi this fit VW Tiguan S 2018? if the answer is not another way to fit and work perfect in my car?

I bought this the day the uk got it. Must be back in April. It’s been a temperamental head unit. Having to reset it weekly as the wireless CarPlay wouldn’t pick up my iPhone. Then a couple months later it wouldn’t connect at all. Finally did the software update and that sorted it but the problem persists if you have more than 1 phone linked to the unit. Mine also only picks up 2, maybe 3 DAB channels

Just bought this with the Pac Tr1. Curious how everyone is wiring that up since this radio doesn’t have the yellow black foot wire?

I didn't even know Apine was around anymore. This is a great surprise.

dude i want a t-shirt like the one you're wearing where & how can i buy/get it? you guys are great and i would advertise for you i mean it,

Recommendations for an 05 Prius? Volume knob is a must

Can the boot screen and wall paper be customized? IE can I load my on graphic or logo from a thumb drive

What are your thoughts on installing this into a 1984 chevrolet c10.

Would it fit in a single DIN slot with the screen protruding?

Would you recommend this unit for my Porsche 997 ? What else will I need ? Wire Harness ?

Can you please recommend a good stereo upgrade for Hyundai Tucson 2016? I am also not able to find any good dash kit upgrade…

I think im gonna ditch my pioneer 4660nex for this because of the dash cam setup you can get

How long does it take for the radio to get to Texas ?

is there a way to connect my rear stock screens to this? they're not hdmi screens 2013 denali

Great video. Can you please help me? Im looking for a double din receiver that has treble, bass and mid if possible on one screen, kind of similar to the Alpine Halo iLX-507. Physical knobs would be my favorite but that seems impossible these days cause pretty much all these units have only an equalizer and it makes it a pain to adjust it every song. I dont want to spend $650 on the alpine for these settings alone cause I dont need a backup camera or any of the 100's other settings. If you could recommend something I'd appreciate it.

Would fit a 04 wrx?

Will it fit in a 2017 challenger

Do you have link for the tr1

What's the difference between this and the ilx-705d?

Can you change the color of the buttons?

Hey are you going to review the Pioneer DMH-w2770nex?

I got the first model they put out a few yrs ago. I returned it. Did not like the way my speakers sounded with it. I bought a Kenwood and love it.

I have the ILX 705D and at max volume which is 35 the Front and Rear RCA go up to 5.8V not 4V as advertised and Sub channel 3.8 as advertised so for Front and Rear at volume 30 u can hit the 4v without clipping and just have to set the sub gain a little higher cuz u gonna stick with the volume 30 Also for those who wanna know u cant turn off the sub low pass and high pass the lowest u can go on Sub low pass is 20hz 0 slope and same for the high pass Dimming sucks so u just have to keep the deck at full brightness in day time and u can lower at nigh time if u want

Is the mic built-in?

Hai am confused between alpine 509 or 507 which one is better. Do i get any additional if i take 509.

Will this fit in a single din opening?

So, I can't just ground it to bypass the parking brake feature? I'll have to buy a bypass adapter thing? Lol!

How can I get a t shirt?

Own ilx-f511. Must admit the screen beautiful BUT my bass from pioneer 1500nex sounded waaaay better. I was hoping for better sound from stereo 2-3x more expensive. Also a huge CON it won’t automatically between 2 phones. So if my wife drive car she manually need to connect to Apple car play. Common alpine that’s total BS.. I’m kinda torn and thinking of returning head unit

Does it have an off button?

👍🔥

Not even coverage on the camera quality input. Literally one of the main reasons to even buy one of these.

Cons none ? There is no optical/coax output in this unit..the dac on this headunit is not that good..

Gee, tech has changed much in e car audio world. Chinesium cheapie Sounds just as good…less than 1/4 the price. 🤔

Lemme guess....NO OPTICAL OUTPUT??? In a world where almost ALL CHEAP android units have a optical out...And all the name brands don't there is something seriously wrong. How can these brands call these units "high-end"??? and "high-res" when you still only have analog rca outputs.?? I'm glad i'm running a Clarion nx807e that does have a optical out so i can go digitally into a processor...

There has to be a way to keep the nissan frontiers oem mic and oem Sirius antenna!

“cons .. .. NONE!” 🤣

Android Auto is actually a con, it has extremely low volume and removes all Bass. This needs fixed.

Reading all the mumble of the spec sheet is NOT a review…

Alpine and kendwood features are always Better but Sony has much nicer design these are so ugly.
