Alpine iLX-W650 7" Mech-Less Receiver Compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

Product Information

You can also stream music via Bluetooth to your Alpine iLX-W650BT and enjoy the sound through your car’s audio system. We didn't test this out ourselves but the unit is designed to play back video only via the USB connection.

Use multi-touch gestures anywhere on the iLX-W650BT Receiver’s 7” screen to control your music while keeping your eyes on the road. The iLX-W650 will be able to control basic playback functions such as Play/Pause, Previous/Next Track, Fast Forward/Rewind and Random/Repeat. USB will charge phone which leads me to believe the cable was installed properly however, it doesn't read phone or USB flash drive to update firmware.DAC specs are not listed, but playable media file types are maxed out at 24-bit 48kHz for FLAC file playback, and the Alpine has an excellent sound quality if you plan to have amps/subs in your system. The iLX-W650 comes with a built-in rearview camera distance guide display that makes blind spots a distant memory.

Apple Music subscribers can also listen to on-demand stations from almost any genre or create their own stations.With my gm truck there are audible alerts and other things that actually play thru the stereo that I definitely needed to keep. I found the sound quality from CarPlay to be a bit disappointing, and I've got it connected to some pretty good speakers. How does this connect to the usb would that be through an adapter or will it work regularly when connecting the system to the vehicle? If you do need to record video and have integration with the radio, you can use the Alpine DVR-C320R HD dash cam in the link below.
