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

Product Information

I loaded the new firmware about two weeks ago and that has resolved the issue for me, at least so far anyway. In most cases today, you'll want to purchase a dash kit from either Scosche or Metra, in which case this piece is useless anyway. Alpine’s award-winning PowerStack™ design adds more power to your sound system while occupying the same depth as a traditional 2-DIN radio.

KTA-200M Amplifier: The KTA-200M (sold separately) is a mono-subwoofer amplifier that utilizes Alpine's exclusive Dynamic Peak Power technology to produce 200 watts x 1 channel into 4- or 2-ohms. Not compatible with Apple iPod nano or iPod touch, older 30-pin Apple devices, and iPhones older than the 5S. Important: Your credit card will NOT be charged when you start your free trial or if you cancel during the trial period. Everything works great, except for I get no sound from my iphone either plugged into it, or bluetooth connected. The way this unit is built if it's inclined at too much of an angle the dissipation of heat could get trapped inside the unit and cause damage.Note that we used this head unit on a non-amplified system so there may be a few features that we didn't put to the test fully. Let's walk through some of the key features and areas of the iLX-W650's interface, what we liked and what we didn't. Streaming video – I know it's against the law in some states but I do like the WebLink functionality and the ability to screenshare.

The high-speed charging function for smartphones ensures that your phone battery is rapidly charged, while Bluetooth audio streaming allows everyone in the car to contribute with their phones and music to the party on the road. This receiver does have preamp outputs that allow it to work with any aftermarket amp that has preamp inputs via RCA audio cables.It looks like with some trim levels (Navigation and Bose audio) we have an accessories package for this radio that can keep your backup camera. Odd thing is Crutchfield says a 7 inch deck that is way deeper and I will have to cut out brackets in the back will fit my ram.

Although we didn't test this unit with an externally amplified setup, we did go through all the audio features and controls on the head unit. Band 1 can be set 20Hz-100Hz, Band 2 can be set to 63Hz-325Hz, Band 3 can be set to 125Hz-500Hz, Band 4 can be set to 250Hz-1kHz, Band 5 can be set to 500Hz-2kHz, Band 6 can be set to 1kHz-4kHz, Band 7 can be set to 2kHz-7. Alpine's PowerStack design lets you add more power to your sound system, while occupying the same depth as a traditional Double-DIN (4") radio. You've got a full 6-channels of preamp outputs (4-volt front, rear, subwoofer), so you can really connect as many amps as you'd like to the Alpine ILX-W650.

Capcitive touchbscreen, Hand swipe features ( not with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto), and shallow mount. Bluetooth note: Use of this receiver's Bluetooth features will depend upon your phone's Bluetooth capabilities. Parental Lock: This function restricts the listening of channels for children of certain age levels and is protected by a 4-digit "lock-code". I haven't detected a firm pattern but backing out (it has a backup camera attached) certainly seems to be one trigger. Use multi-touch gestures anywhere on the iLX-W650BT Receiver’s 7” screen to control your music while keeping your eyes on the road.
