I have a old eclipse dvd player still thatbI had in my mustang. I feel bad that I am not using it. I just feel it is useless since the gps is a dvd, and I can not connect my phone to it. Just shows that when I buy this, I will need to replace it in 10 years.
Me too. Seems to be some misinformation thought. Some say it’s double din chassis and some single din. I wish it was double din short chassis that would work best for me but if it’s single din chassis that will work as well Then some say it Apple CarPlay wireless but not android I wish I could find definitive answers
Wow! Big price jump between the 409 and 509! The only real complaint I have with my 409 is that I would like it to dim a bit more for night driving.. I'd like to see the dim comparison between the two..And yes, I wish I had wireless andriod auto..lol.. Pro Tip.. I have a Roku plugged into my HDMI..lol
@@johnryan118 nobody does it right IMO, it boils down to the stack they use, it’s slow.. they need to hire me 🙂 hell half of the DIY Pi efforts interact better than most off-the-shelf products. Even if it’s a hardware limitation.. it doesn’t have to be.
Thanks for the review Josh! I've watched almost every vid review of the latest car stereos and thanks to you I settled and just ordered from you the 509. I'm looking forward to getting it installed. Thank you for your informative vids. Sonny
Pretty cool that they have the steering wheel option, left or right, as many of us have started to import JDM cars that used to be banned for 25 years. Wish the bezels were smaller, with it was 1080p at a minimum. OLED is king IMHO. Cheers 🍻
@@tinotheteamster1998 I haven't tried my iphone yet, because I haven't purchased the converter. But I have tried my android with the Samsung converter.... But it doesn't work also.
I've had it for 2 days and my current complaints. 1. The install direction were terrible. The hinge came at an extreme angle. This video helped me a bit, but my angle out of the box was much more extreme. The instructions tell you to adjust height first, then install then pivot. This is impossible. You need to attach, then fix the hinge pitch and then adjust the height. It took my way too long to get the display mounted as I had everything the dash and had to disassemble and mess with it until I figured out how to attach with the heigh reset before I could pivot. now lacking features 2. There should be native Alexa integration. CarPlay lacks amazon music, and Alex voice is more helpful for most smart homes integrations. 3. There needs to be a way to disable SiriusXM button, its grayed out and disabled, but if you finger even swipes over it, and error is thrown and it disabled the input for 3 seconds. It should not even show if it's disabled. 4. Alpine needs a weather app like Kenwood. Thats a big feature missing in CarPlay and offered by stock vehicle systems. 5. The bluetooth audio knob should auto connection on reboot.
They basically brought it up to kenwood dmx1057xr standards with lower voltage preouts 4 not 5 and single din, I do like the interface more on alpine much more polished they still should have done 5v pre outs. Great video as always infact you always have to the best videos on the lasted flagships 😊
Woohoo finally a proper upgrade to the 309. I still wish they had an option to completely switch off the screen I find it's too bright even on the lowest setting at night time. Love the review. I smell an upgrade coming... LoL
Just bought the F509 and am just waiting for the installation. can't wait! The question is, will this unit navigate without a mobile phone connected to the system?
Hi! I just got mine put in my 2015 Jeep Wrangler, the original radio that I had in it was a heavy duty unit. I like this one because it’s wireless and has updated features. I drive 45 mins to get home the screen was really hot is that normal will it brake down if too hot. It looks like a floating IPad I wish this size could be mounted lower. Still learning to use it.
Where is the subwoofer level control? Not talking about the level control in the eq settings. Alpine always had a separate menu for subwoofer volume plus polarity and on/off switch
@Breakers Stereo & Performance Excellent review, Josh! Thank you! Just a few thoughts. One thing that I was disappointed to see in the new Alpine's Independent Left & Right PEQ was that the specific frequencies are only selectable in the typical 1/3rd Octave increments instead of at any desired frequency, as well as the width or "Q" only being selectable between "Narrow/Medium/Wide" instead of a specific value anywhere in between. :( While it has less PEQ bands overall (8 instead of 13), the Sony XAV-9500ES that you also reviewed DOES allow you to adjust the specific Frequency and "Q" of each PEQ band, which allows for much more precise EQ adjustments and better L/R frequency response overall. And FINALLY, I do appreciate the smaller Bezels on these new Alpine units, though we'd still like them to be even smaller so as to minimize the overall size of the display. This can mean the difference between the unit covering important OEM dash-mounted switches, controls, and air vents, or not! Or interfering with the operation of the MT or AT shift levers on some vehicles. I also appreciate the iDataLink Maestro compatibility and updated HD screens. Though as you said, even our much smaller smartphone screens have higher resolutions than these large car stereo displays! And the optional RUX-H01 Bluetooth remote Volume & Subwoofer Level Knob is an awesome feature as well! Thanks again for the excellent review!
Hello. Very informative video!! Can you tell me if I could hook the Echo Auto to the 511 and have Alexa hands free via voice, operating everything, turning on SiriusXM, Apple CarPlay, make and receive calls?? Thank you an thank you for your timely response
Can the escort max ci 360 radar detector and the maestro idatalink ads mrr2 work together with this alpine stereo??, my 2005 Ford Mustang needs this type of stereo set up badly.
When you use the GPS function of your phone for navigating, say google maps, it uses it's own internal GPS antenna instead of relying on your phone which generally has poorer GPS reception.
Honestly I use to like alpine, but after the last wireless car play head unit having issues and alpine not wanting to do any firmware updates that turned me off from them. Went to pioneer newest units an so far 4 updates. Does alpine really think u can release a head unit an not support it?! 🤔
So, these units both come with the microphones, for hands free phone use. Do you have to use these? Im looking at a 2015 Chevy Malibu, and it has the chevrolet mylink screen, it has hands free phone also, so it has its own factory microphone. I know these factory microphones work perfectly fine, so, again, do I need to use the one that comes with the unit or, can I stay with my factory mic?
How can you adjust the backup camera settings on the iLX-F590 driving me crazy. Same camera on OEM it was fine with the iLX-F590 it looks like if has an angle or smaller
Never got a response from Alpine 🤷🏽♀️ and husband doesn’t want me to switch out the OEM backup camera since I already got Alpine DVR-C320R Dash Cam since I’ll have to get the Multi-Camera Selector and the front and back cameras. So am just pushing for the KTX-NS01 GPS Navigation Module trying to make a good excuse of why I need it 😅
Great in depth video as always. Ive been watching every video since i found your channel because ive been looking around to buy a new headunit. Is there anything comparable to this but in a flip out format? I drive a NB miata and i'm afraid headunits like these are an easy target for thieves. Cutting through the roof and stuff. Thats why i'm looking for something stealthy.
by the sounds pioneer may be the only brand with a recent and available flipout, maybe shout at alpine to make a good one, that would be the best bet. Good Luck.
Thank for the comment. I agree putting one of these in a Miata will make it an easy target for thieves and Luke here is right pioneer is the only brand name brand that makes a flip out and it has pretty good feature. We made a video on it a few weeks ago. It’s the AVH-3500NEX
I'm in the same situation with an MR2. Pioneer makes a 7" Double Din with a detachable face. Wireless Android Auto/Carplay and it has a CD player. They also have one with its own GPS S/W for when you drive into one bar country. The user interface is much nicer - Pioneer seems to have discovered color, shapes, and transparency, while everyone else seems to be suck in1985 with only 16 color VGA. The Pioneer is perfect, but unfortunately it's out of stock, and I'm afraid Pioneer is going to go with the oversized screen units just waiting to be stolen. and no Double Din models in the future.
I have the ilx f511. Im running 2 amps a monoblock for bass and a 4 channel. Do I need a hi res amp to get hi res through the amp I use tidal and it says it’s playing but I’m not sure I’m actually playing hi res since I’m using a cheap d4s amp. Should I upgrade my amp or it doesn’t matter?
Can anyone confirm the Ilx-507 is the same as the Ilx-F511 and Ilx-F509 just in the 7 inch variant? I believe they are all the same other the screen size and chassis
what about a factory nissan 2021 kicks if i remove the radio can i put this in and still have 360 camera and cams and bnack up cam etc etc? will i get errors on my car?
How do you play video from your phone? I bought type C to HDMI cable samsung S22 ultra, connected it and nothing beside it sais that can't play video because wrong resolution...? F 511
Can you run other GPS Navigation such as garmin or gaia? Google maps is great when you have cell service, but trying to start google maps with no cell service does not work. Unless these new aged radios have a way around it?
That’s a good idea but… we did a 10” comparison between the Kenwood and the pioneer floating panel radios a year a ago or so so But i believe the alpine is a much better unit.
@@BreakersStereo I saw that video. Was glad to see it. I'll be honest, I'm leaning towards the Pioneer, but wanted to see how this one stacked up to it.
If you have the stock JBL system, the Pioneer DMH-WC5700NEX would likely be your best bet. If not (and/or you're willing to spend a bit more), other options you would then consider are: 1. Pioneer DMH-WT8600NEX 2. Sony XAV-9500ES 3. Alpine Halo9 iLX-F509 (in this video) (I've ordered these in which way I'd personally choose) Whether or not you have the JBL system will make fitment differences, so after you know that, you can go from there with your selection based on cost, features, and aesthetics.
So What I’m seeing is behind the stereo that dash is pretty shallow so you’re gonna have to go with something that is not very deep. You can do an alpine ILX -w650 or the Ilx- W407. Both are 7” screens. If you wanted something a little bit larger you can always go over with the pioneer DMH-C 5500 NEX. This is an 8” module radio that allows you to mount the body away from the screen. You will need the metra Kit model number 108-TO6HG. We have all these radios in stock. If you call the guys down at the shop they can help you out if you have any questions. 805-486-8307. BTW Love the profile pic we went to chitzen itza a few years back. Amazing!
@@The_Drakes Short of compatibility to play DSD files, screen size, USB Power (for charging your phone, etc), and price, these pioneer units are identical and all would be fine fits in your vehicle: C2550NEX (No, 6.8", 1.5A, $450) C5500NEX (No, 8", 1.5A, $650) WT7600NEX (Yes, 9", 3A, $1300) WT8600NEX (Yes, 10.1", 3A, $1500) Beyond that, availability is your biggest enemy.
I have a 2021 Rav4, is it better to replace the head unit or to conserve the oem head unit but add an amp with signal processing for better sound quality?
If you are happy with the interface of the RAV4, then just upgrade the amp. That is a new car and know that if and when you sell the car, no one is going to care enough to pay extra for the different screen.
I have trouble setting up stations in SiriusXM, it would save one but when I tried to save another one to have it in my list it would delete and put the new one instead, any ideas how to fix this? Or am I doing it wrong?
I'm looking for someone to actually measure the width and height of the screens on these. I want to know how much if any the screen will cover up in my Expedition.
I found specifications and dimensions for the display and also the chassis in the online owners manual. Easily downloadable as a pdf. Most of the specs are on the last few pages of the manual. Using cardboard cut to the size of the display helped me make a decision between display sizes that would best fit an older model Lexus. Hoping this is helpful.
@@nicholasnielsen2037 did they give you an answer to how this works sir? Considering buying a unit for that reason but I want to make sure this feature works and how
I installed the 11 inch unit last weekend in someone’s car, brand new unit and the CarPlay doesn’t work. Called alpine and they are blaming it on Apple. But every other CarPlay head unit is working just fine only alpines units aren’t working. So stay away from this unit.

what iPhone did you use in this test?
Are there any vertical displays?
So you are able to watch .movies on the new unit
no. for this u need screen mirroing device like jvc or pionner.
I have a 2021 Rav4, is it better to replace the head unit or to conserve the oem head unit but add an amp with signal processing for better sound quality?
If you are happy with the interface of the RAV4, then just upgrade the amp. That is a new car and know that if and when you sell the car, no one is going to care enough to pay extra for the different screen.
@@motowhit what kind of amp that improves sound quality do you recommend?
Hi, Can the alpine ilx-f511 be installed on the 2019 Mercedes sprinter van?
Does it have the factory installed touch screen radio ?
Will either of these fit a 2015 Chevy Cruze LT?
Hello which cord should I use for android auto?
I have trouble setting up stations in SiriusXM, it would save one but when I tried to save another one to have it in my list it would delete and put the new one instead, any ideas how to fix this? Or am I doing it wrong?
Does f509 support 360 camera?
Is there any radio stations that have 1080 P
I'm looking for someone to actually measure the width and height of the screens on these. I want to know how much if any the screen will cover up in my Expedition.
Hi! Do u sell a cable to make the connection between the ecu of the vehicle and the f-511 to manage all the setting tha manage the oem stereo ????
Someone has one that plugs into OBDII. Can't remember who...
I need Wireless Android Auto, but it only supports Wireless Carplay... What else can I buy?
Are you sure that Android Auto isn't wireless? I thought he said it was in the video
How did you connect your phone to the HDMI?
Will either of these units allow you to view a camera while driving
Yes they will.
@@BreakersStereo Appreciate your response
Can I install this on a Infiniti q70
Do these work with alpine power packs?
Yes. Same harness
So what exactly would I need to play a movie like you just did? Just the HDMI cable?
And the lightning to hdmi adapter
@@BreakersStereo awesome thanks
@@RebelWaz did it work for you by just connecting those 2 items or did you need to do anything else?
@@tiger-messiahwhite2631 yeah, just plug in the HDMi and the adapter for the lighting cable for iphone and it worked
@@RebelWaz I can't get mine to work. It's crazy the hdmi will only play audio of the video
What's the width and height of the 9" and the 11"? I can't find that data on that. Need to know if I can clear my vents on the side of the headunit.
I found specifications and dimensions for the display and also the chassis in the online owners manual. Easily downloadable as a pdf. Most of the specs are on the last few pages of the manual. Using cardboard cut to the size of the display helped me make a decision between display sizes that would best fit an older model Lexus. Hoping this is helpful.
Only “con” I see is.. 4 volts.
Alpine seems to have something against that last volt.
I would still buy it!
Great share!

Someone got information on the bypass for brake??
Alpine told me android auto was only wired?
Just feel like they should offer a longer warranty
Do these units have an auto dim function when the headlights turn on?
Not with the headlights. There is no wire that ties into them but you can select the dimmer on or off so it will dim at night
@@BreakersStereo is it true the dim always stays bright as hell?
How many watts per channel man?
16x4 rms 50 watts peak
I can’t get my phone to mirror on the screen have hdmi and lightning adapter, need help
Do you have audio if you play video off your phone?
Yes I have audio no video
@@nicholasnielsen2037 did they give you an answer to how this works sir? Considering buying a unit for that reason but I want to make sure this feature works and how
@@BreakersStereo did you guys give an answer to nick on exactly what he need to do to stream movies from his iphone to the unit?
You need a tr1
Has anyone tried to change the opening/splash screen yet?
I installed the 11 inch unit last weekend in someone’s car, brand new unit and the CarPlay doesn’t work. Called alpine and they are blaming it on Apple. But every other CarPlay head unit is working just fine only alpines units aren’t working. So stay away from this unit.
What’s the price
Anyone have issues with maps/Waze???
I’m not seeing a climate control integration with the maestro like the 409. Anybody know of they took that it out or not??
Yeah it’s maestro ready
