Alpine iLX-705D Full Review - Wireless CarPlay / 720p HD Display / Dual USB & Camera / Android Auto

[@pftvfc66]

What about sound quality? Why so many reviews like this misses what's probably the most important part of car audio? 🙄 All the bells and whistles of Car Play and Android Auto won't mean anything without a unit that can deliver excellent audio quality.

@@AdvancedInCarTechnologies I appreciate your answer but that's only writing down the equipment specs, it's not a review about the audio quality of said equipment. 🙄

I've added a usb and HDMI extension to the front which perfectly replaced the USB and aux jack in my nissan juke. So from there I've plugged in an Amazon Fire stick which I have connected to my phones data. So now I have Amazon prime, video and music, Disney+, Netflix, Spotify, KZbin...etc... its all fast and hi res quality... and so the HDMI port is not wasted

@@AdvancedInCarTechnologies That's an awful response. Give us a proper sound review.

@@daleullbricht If the unit has Android auto etc cant those apps just be installed directly to the phone/unit?

Where did you connect the power cable (usb) from amazon fire stick to? To 12v port for the cigarette?

[@daleullbricht]

@@GH05TM44N I connected it directly to the USB port

When was this Alpine model released?? Which year? I can't find it anywhere... Nice video!

[@TheAwesomeness756]

couple quick questions, I have the same climate control, how do I connect that to the head unit? also where is the plug for the steeringwheel controls so I could get that too? I have the 12 button steeringwheel in my scirocco

@@AdvancedInCarTechnologies Hey, my car is not registered in the uk, it is a 2011 volkswagen scirocco, with the smaller-screened head unit from factory, but I have buttons for volume on the steeringwheel, and my ac and all that looks the same in my car as in this video. It also has a parking sensor which was showing on that screen but can’t get it up on my alpine

[@ianandrew7010]

Pity the illuminated buttons can't be changed from Blue to Red to match the car's interior colour 😤

[@ericperry72]

Does this have the identical DSP as the ILX-507

[@AdvancedInCarTechnologies]

Hello Eric, Thank you for getting in touch! We don't believe this is a UK model that we've worked on so your best bet would be to double check with Alpine directly. Kind regards, Advanced In-Car Team

These displays look terrible and still feel horribly dated, I swear they must cost like a dollar to make.
