Get MAXIMUM Sound Potential out of your Alpine Halo Radio

[@hoboonwheels]

Not only is this a great product demo, this video may possibly be the best overview of car audio ever done. In just under 19 minutes you explained basically everything anyone would ever need to know in regards to setting up a car audio system. Well done!

As someone with some mid range hearing loss in one ear, the individual parametric EQ is gonna be a blessing. I’m literally gonna be able to boost the frequency’s my hearing test showed I’m lacking on that side.

He is truly a gifted teacher in the audio industry. I’m very impressed with the ability to teach and illustrate the concepts

[@JohnnyLawBMC]

Very nicely done. At first I was thinking, TMI, but all in all, you were right. We need all those details to really understand our radio and how to update it. Thank you so much.

[@Skinner32608]

What year is your D max? I'm looking at replacing my factory unit but a little skeptical to do so. How much was it? I have 2016 Dmax 2500hd.

[@kmart014]

The knob alone convinced me to go with alpine

[@HAMMER_2.2]

I've selected a Teyes CC3 headunit for my build because of the features it provides (optical & coaxial output, Bluetooth accessory control, amazing 360 camera system, full play store/apps) But I will say that the new Alpine Halo radios are the next closest contender I would consider. Had they been available when I made my purchase I would have probably bought one instead! Luckily I still have great HI Res playback though I am doing so by playing a Fiio DAP connected directly to my DSP via Coaxial connection and controlling the DAP from my radio screen/steering controls using the Fiio Bluetooth Link app. It's great that the Alpine has HiRes capabilities. Also the dash cam connectivity and on screen ADAS warnings. What a great unit, Alpine!

Just put a 507A in my wifes car. Currently having minor issues with the factory amplified system(not Alpines problem, it's the canbus and integration harness doing something odd) but I'm definitely able to see the improvements over my old ILX-702D and the ILX-F309E. Android Auto is definitely better(especially wireless) with less odd behaviour like wild volume swings between music and Google responses the old units had. The main screen with fast access to tuning and the voltage gauge are great too. I wish you'd include the RCA camera adaptor though, most factory cameras or retention harnesses then end up needing this. You include harnesses for stuff people will RARELY use, but not this. It's only a cheap part, but was an hour trip for me to pick one up. Also setting the 'rear' camera as a default backup camera will save people wondering why their reverse camera doesn't work for 5 minutes haha.

[@DonCachoro]

I am having problems my screen keeps going back but my audio stays on

[@ARedHerring]

Haha yeah. The rear camera got me.

[@indigodesigner]

" Time correction 12:42 " Showing only front speakers settings only, missing to tell about rear speakers and sub woofer time alignment Need time correction only for front or need rear channels also Plz clear my doubt Thank you for advance

[@velocast]

After running for almost 8 years a Clarion NX605, I would like to have the iLX-507. The problem I may encounter is their ACTIVE CROSSOVERS conflicting badly with my tuned CUSTOM THREE WAY SYSTEM that has PASSIVE CROSOVERS in each speaker. I don't understand why Alpine doesn't offer the option to disable it or to turn it off. Now, the only way is to FLAT the slope and raise up dB the most it can go. That way the filters will be wide open allowing full signals pass through so my PASSIVE CROSOVERS will take over.

[@velocast]

It will be nice if Alpine can add USB and AUX more functionality-compatibility strength because the iLX-507 does not play CD. After finding a needle in the sand, my iLX-507 did play WAV files. My flash drive is formatted to exFAT. My WAV files are set to 1411 Kbps (16 Bits), I think it can go up to editor grade 2116 Kbps (24 Bits). I don't want to mention Hi-Res wireless because it will need 1411 Kbps to become lossless. Only in theory, LDAC and LHDC can go up to 990 Kbps and 1600 Kbps respectively. In real life once congestion increases, it will drop down to 660 Kbps or most of the time to under 330 Kbps.

[@appiek.168]

It's truly amazing! One thing I'm wondering though, is how many of these features were already there in preceding Alpine units like the iLX-F903

[@Spollekop]

Most of these audio features are not new. Advanced eq's are nice but have been around for a long while. Its all DSP processing so not groundbreaking. Its been around for a while. The big difference is connectivity and support for modern applications. So tidal, wireless apple carplay and android auto. I think the newer screen is also better because its a bonded screen which are better with dealing with reflections.

[@miguelprieto286]

The resolution in the screen is the best now 1280~720p.

I wish we can get a more in-depth video on the time Correction for the ILX series. Currently trying to figure it out, but it’s not working out so great.

[@brucebeil1982]

Hello, I am very interested in the tidal feature. If I understand correctly, there must be a WLAN connection between the radio and the smartphone for this to work? Does this also work with offline content if there is no internet connection? Can the list with the playlists be hidden or is it permanently displayed? Many thanks in advance for the feedback.

Great systems. You are so good with your knowledge base on these systems, you are amazing! Q1. I was just wondering if you could tell me: if I'm travelling around the country in my new 2022 Transporter 6.1 VW Camper-van in Australia. If I loose internet connection what happens with all the features that require internet and what happens on the head unit. Q2. If music was playing and a car fault comes up, and system warning alarms, does the music stop playing, like with a incoming phone call. Q3 If I was to install outside Alpine rear camera on the rear roof area of the back tailgate (due to using a bike rack on to the tow bar) the exciting VW rear Camera with any view been block). if an extra rear outside Alpine Camera was installed would I be able to connect the 2 (two) rear Cameras to the head unit and flick between the two on the head unit so, when the bike rack is not connected to the to the van I could go between the two cameras. And if you're driving along are you able to activate just the Alpine rear camera or are they both connected to the cars reversing system? Sorry for so many questions.

[@latesttechtrends1227]

i have a very important question. Does it lower the bass when you turn the volume up? and also when you turn the sub up, does it do that thing where all the mid and high freqs are turned down? all the systems specially the factory one and the all in ones like this do this thing. Its like side chaining in music production. The only solution that works is a 100% totally flat signal from the player, or even with the sub bass freqs turned down a bit, and then later in the system you turn the bass up from separate sub amplifier. This is for everyday simpler systems. but u need two amps, sub has to be totally separate. so the headunit deosnt even know how much bass is turned up. Also i would like to know how much power this unit can handle per channel. including sub. And also i think it has 3 pre outs, not sure, but if it did and u add an amplifier to it, then we cant use the inbuilt dsp right, because only 3 pre outs. Yes if we use speaker level inputs on an amplifier then we can individually tune the system . how many total speaker level outs this unit has? sorry for long comment. thanks

[@lunchie80]

I haven't noticed any dynamic EQ like bass dropping as volume goes up. The factory amped system in the car it's installed in seems to clip earlier now because of that though haha

Our specs say that the 509 will playback 192kHz flac/WAV and 96kHz Apple hi res, but you say the unit plays back at 96. Did you mean that it down mixes 192 to 96, or were you only talking about Apple specs? And can you run AAuto for navigation while running Tidal on the head unit as your sound source?

Can go with your installer dealer and ask, for different models have maestro RR, this tool have gauges for specific cars and models, I have two radios iLXF509 just one work whit dash cam alpine DVR-C320R and I have the control of this camera from the radio screen.

[@Jonathan_Doe_]

Can you add a variable R-L, L-R (basically like a haffler network, or differential phase) to the rear speaker/pre out eq settings in a firmware update for the ilx-705d? Pretty please. It’s a really nice way of making your rear fill less obtrusive as it cancels out anything centred in the stereo field the more you add inverted phase signal from the opposite sides signal.
