Alpine Electronics Halo 9 ILX F309 Overview | AnthonyJ350

Love the new Alpine unit. Definitely gonna be my next head unit.

Test it at your local install shop display. The interface is pretty nice.

Dude this is an amazing informative video. Thank you for this man.

[@AnthonyJ350]

[@sanjuanpr25]

I love my unit, it is mounted in a 2016 Nissan Altima but the only complaint I had was that the unit shook a lot due to the dash kit I had. Thankfully my installer came up with this device that made it rock solid and all was good after that. Great unit, very happy with it.

[@AnthonyJ350]

Victor Laboy Ya they really need a solid mount.

[@talongloy]

Just got mine installed on a 1984 300d turbo diesel

[@kenwoo3292]

I noticed a bunch of negative comments about how the screen blocks the vents in this video, note that the screen can be adjusted to sit a little bit lower in the dash to not block the vents, maybe the customer in this case wanted that way, plus it looks like there is enough space between the vents and the Alpine screen so I don’t think is will effect the flow of air much the way it is.

[@AnthonyJ350]

It's not that big of a deal and every vehicle is going to be different. We had it mounted there because that's where he liked viewing it and it was easier to film.

[@matthew3272]

If yall don't believe the complication of installing an iPad. As far as making it function and look seamless. Just watch 1 Soundman video lol. Badass product!

matthew3272 This is going to be a huge time saver for a lot of people.

[@HaramiSalami420]

I think its awesome especially for old vehicles because there are often only 1 DIN Radios build in. And with that you can bring old and new tech seamless together.

[@AnthonyJ350]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@HollywoodF1]

That's my plan, too. Old single-DIN car with no room to expand to double without installing new a/c vents somewhere else. Major surgery.

[@rmm2424]

You don't compromise the air conditioner vents in the South!

[@AnthonyJ350]

rmm2424 Depends the vehicle you own and the vent location doesn't it? Or you can do Restyle or a standard 7 inch screen.

[@Halfstep2024]

I don’t understand why he said it would cover the vents anyway. The mount is adjustable making the screen hang below the vents instead of in front of them 😂 he literally said that right before he said you’d compromise the vents

[@onedsf]

Coming from a former tablet install (Nexus 7) in my old 2010 Corolla to my 'new' 2016 Kia Optima I really think this fits the ticket. Just a bit pricey still. Would you say the built in controls are sufficient to not necessitate a DSP for tuning? The main sell point for me would be the ability to maintain most of the car's standard features like steering wheel controls, Bluetooth phone calls etc.

[@AnthonyJ350]

trinigerman It's not that bad in price compared to double din head unit screens. With the parametric EQ you would be able to dial in your sound system along with using an RTA.

[@onedsf]

AnthonyJ350 Thanks for the feedback. Would still have to factor the cost of whichever plugin retention system I'd have to use to maintain the backup cam, steering and Bluetooth controls, but you're right, taking convenience and simplicity into consideration along with the HUGE screen makes the price point a little more rational.

[@AnthonyJ350]

It does, plus also put this into perspective, yes it is a good amount of money, but compared to purchasing a newer vehicle to get features like this (and probably not as many) retrofitting your current vehicle is significantly cheaper.

[@johnfurious8419]

Love this head unit...

[@AnthonyJ350]

John Furious Pretty nice right?!

[@stevealfred3951]

What about an '03 Silverado 1500HD. Only have 4 vents in the whole dash. Wou lent something like this totally block the 2 center vents above and to the side of the unit? I know you have your daily which is the same right? Is this unit doable or impractical.

[@AnthonyJ350]

Steve Alfred In my daily I would just use Alpine's 7 inch screen that would be a flush install. That's what I would do.

I just ended up putting another screen on my dash for gaming so now I can watch videos or use the GPS on the joying while gaming. Worked out pretty well.btw you need a playstation if you don't already have one 😉

[@ROTTBOXX]

I think its stupid that "it blocks the vents". Its adjustable! I was a fan of alpine back in the day until I finally went big on my system and couldnt turn it past 10 without the CD starting to skip. (I'm old). My only concern is how well will it handle major vibration from a series stereo?

[@AnthonyJ350]

You have to factor in not ever vehicle has vents there. If you were unable to have your system go past 10 did you try resetting the gains on your amps? Alpines clip at 25 volume.

[@ROTTBOXX]

@@AnthonyJ350 the vents part was sarcasm. And that setup was in 99 or 2000. I meant skipping because the deck couldn't take the vibration. Went to pioneer, never had that issue again. But now that everything is flash drive (or I run thro pandora) this looks like a great option for me to go back to alpine. I dont mean any negativity, I just saw these recently and I'm trying to get myself up to speed on them. As long as the eq can be set user specific I may have found my next head unit.

[@AnthonyJ350]

@@ROTTBOXX It had a full parametric EQ and the screen mount is very sturdy.

@@AnthonyJ350 awesome. Thank you

[@jameselam8263]

I have mixed feelings on it. I think it functions great, but I'm not a fan of the floating screen. It just looks unfinished in the dash, or maybe an after thought.

[@AnthonyJ350]

Jim Elam I see your point. That's why I think this is an inbetween head unit for traditional to iPad installs.

[@lucho3410]

Agreed, but if u see alot of modern vehicles they have that flip up screen which is kinda same thing but its a real good option and doesn't look bad

[@BeerLeagueGoalieGodfather]

kamryn G I'd like to but it requires a lot of research and time to do these reviews well. I plan to do it once in a while, but right now that's not really the scope of my channel.

[@DeezLouize]

To get the vehicle information im assuming theres a plug that goes from the unit to the OBDII plug right? If so how do i get that cable or whatever cable is needed? I had mine installed by a shop in my classic car and recently did an LS engine swap so im trying to connect the unit to my engine ECU..

[@AnthonyJ350]

It's included with the module harness if the vehicle is compatible.

[@Mikeywil0003]

I like this deck so much, but I really wish it had something like Pioneer's network mode. I am not a fan of the floating screen look, but since its just a single DIN in the back, I can have it set back so its fairly flush with the dash. I disagree with you about the deck getting updates more than stock radios. Alpine isn't going to support this deck with updates for more than 4-5 years at the most. Just like any other deck. The deck I currently own (Pioneer) is from 2015, and it has only gotten 2 updates, and both were to fix bugs in the interface, not to add or improve any kind of features. What would really be nice for them to add on these iDatalink decks, is a way to flash updates to the module through the deck. When I put the module in my truck, I ran a usb extension to the Maestro module, and taped the end of it to the back of the glove box out of sight. Just so I could flash the module without taking the dash apart.

[@AnthonyJ350]

It's a good head unit.

[@itscrucial]

Awesome review, my only question if anyone knows is if it supports all around view camera. I have 2015 Nissan Murano, I already bought the din kit but now I held back from buying the unit. I just need to know if it supports that feature I don't want to lose. You know when you put your car in reverse and the screen splits in 2. It shows you a reverse and a birds eye view of your vehicle. Any feedback on this will be greatly appreciated.

[@AnthonyJ350]

If you're all around camera system support a single video input it would work.

These people need to watch where they are driving more... The resolution is fine and the touch screen interface is more important (use and safety).

It can affect your driving if the interface is poor and you have to keep tapping the screen to perform a function. I have a Kenwood 7 inch and it's really good. Kenwood however does not make a 9 inch screen currently so we cannot compare camera resolution. It's like watching a decent quality video on KZbin on a computer screen vs your phone.

Yes and no. Depends on your area. Head unit theft has gone down so much in my area because most of the pawn shops shut down due to bylaws. Also most aftermarket shops will charge a premium for "used" gear so it makes it unappealing to purchase.

[@marcosjcr]

Can you watch KZbin videos while you drive?

[@AnthonyJ350]

If you did screen mirroring, but you would have to bypass the parking brake.

[@jdcarguy1242]

Didn't they learn from honda? Wheres the volume knob???

[@AnthonyJ350]

Volume is controlled via soft touch on the bottom of the screen or steering wheel controls if you have them equipped.

[@ivankash5660]

Do you know if this will work on a 1988 monte carlo ss?

[@AnthonyJ350]

If it can accommodate a single DIN radio and the dash is relatively flat, it should work.

[@mooroocho834]

The problem with what you said was... unfortunately car manufacturers and technology have made it a point that we need to interact with the vehicle more so... its actually not necessary . Eyes on the road is more important!

[@AnthonyJ350]

Then this product isn't right for you. You can upgrade the sound system around the factory head unit. Most vehicles can use more bass.

[@bls2935]

This stereo is the perfect and easiest to see for thieves

[@AnthonyJ350]

People still steal head units?

[@erkothetechno9185]

I wish he had at least mentioned the sound quality. I don't care if you can throw in the kitchen sink of features if the sound quality isn't worth the price. Just my $.02 worth....

[@AnthonyJ350]

ErkotheTechno I technically did. I mentioned it has full control with it's parametric EQ and a host of other audio features. Sound quality is dependant on the rest of the sounds system, speakers, subs, amps and sound deadening. It's like asking how good a car handles without knowing what tires and suspension components are on it and only knowing the engine, too many variables to consider.

[@BeerLeagueGoalieGodfather]

@@AnthonyJ350 still would be nice to know how it compares to other decks in terms of sound, power, etc.

[@johnadams5057]

Beware and test thoroughly. We bought a vehicle less than one year old with an Alpine aftermarket unit clearly less than one year old. Check out the “touchscreen” buttons across the bottom especially the volume up, down and mute. Sometimes they need “pressure ++” to activate and navigating the menu is NOT simple. Screen resolution is very poor and “price” is the only real premium feature. Be careful!

[@AnthonyJ350]

Was it this exact screen you're referring to or a different model. There are two Halo models available.

[@AnthonyJ350]

What's not simple about it? It's similar to a smartphone for navigating.

[@johnadams5057]

The exact model is iLX-F903D less than 1 yr old.

[@AnthonyJ350]

@@johnadams5057 What was low resolution, the backup camera?

[@johnadams5057]

The main screen has poor resolution. Reverse camera picture depends on whether it is clean or not and quality doesn’t really matter so long as you can see

Umm ac vents on car no go.TRUCK GO GO GOOO

Thanks for the feedback!

China made these custom displays because it is very hard to find displays with such low resolution....lol

[@AnthonyJ350]

Thanks for the comment

[@FLYBOY-eh5th]

This thing is just too damn big. I won't be putting one in my car. Anyway, when it's off, it's just one big blank screen.

[@AnthonyJ350]

You can just install a standard 7inch screen instead.

[@BON_87]

So I’m guessing it’s not a face-off 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

[@AnthonyJ350]

Nope, how many aftermarket screens be produced currently allow you to remove the screen still?

[@BON_87]

Idk havnt bought a new dash In awhile

[@AnthonyJ350]

@@BON_87 Stop by your local install shop and check out their showroom. Plus people don't really steal head units anymore, they just buy really cheap ones that don't work from Amazon.

[@AnthonyJ350]

@@dumpsterfire6351 You have to think of it as another option/ solution. A lot of vehicle won't take a traditional double DIN so a single DIN chassis with a large screen might be perfect. For example check out this motorhome we did with a blind spot camera system kzbin.info/www/bejne/poucZH2mr8x2mas

floating screens are so ugly. and this seems very slow and laggy.

[@AnthonyJ350]

Not everyone will like the look, however if you check out the product in person you'll see how fast it responds.

[@shafto.6648]

Not being able to download apps and no wireless Android. No thank you. I even seen the Alpine f411 and the only difference from this one is the size. Alpine keeps increasing their size nothing else. Waste of money.

[@AnthonyJ350]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@shafto.6648]

However, your delivery, video, and editing was great. Good work.

That thing is ugly it reminds of a oversized power acoustic or other cheap brands

Bigd3517 It's not for everyone. The screen and interface is really nice though
