I have it. I got it with the two camera dash cam and backup camera. I like how the system works together. I run the three RCA out puts into two JL Audio amps, 4-way & Sub, with JL door speakers and an 8” Kicker L7. The pre out volt power is a non issue in sound to me. I feel like it brought my ‘98 Ranger back to life. My 2002 Pioneer had a good run till it died.
How do you hook up two alpine direct connect cameras to this? The spec says it’s capable of it, but the breakout has RCA’s not the direct connect connector blocks?… EDIT never mind just got to the unboxing part. That dual direct connect breakout cable isn’t mentioned at all in alpines manual!
Clock: how do you set the clock? It had clock adjust but not place to change the actual time or does it keep the time aftet its paired with an android auto device
Just bought it, and had a place install it. The time says 00:00, and I can't adjust it. How do I get the time to work? When I hit the 00:00, it dissapears, and if I tap again, it reappears. Need help plz
I have a 2001 safari trek motor home & I bought a alpine ine w970 HD & put it in, how can I get my TV to go through it or watch a DVD from the stereo to the TV the TV is a Samsung smart tv. Any ideas thanks
My Audio Installer recommended the iLX-507 for my Ferrari California because it doesn’t have a CD player, which I don’t need, and it goes right into the slot/bracket where the antiquated and problematic Factory head unit sat without any cutting and drilling into my Ferrari. 👍👍 And this new head unit looks much cleaner and more Factory than the Factory head unit that was in my car. Love the Apple CarPlay on this new head unit!🔊🎵🎶🎼👍👍😎🏎️Hopefully Alpine will come out with a new updated Firmware soon to allow changing the opening screen on this iLX-507!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you Josh, looking to upgrade the sound system in my C5. This might be what I need. Either way, I will stop by and see your techs for further analysis/advice. Great informative videos. 👍
I have the iLX-F511 which the same with a bigger screen. I give it 5 stars too. I think I'm going to remove my expensive DSP. I don't feel I need it anymore because the Alpine head unit does it all.
Do you know when Alpine will release the ilx-F600 series? I am looking at a 509 but I dont want to buy now if they will release a new model in 2024. Hope you can help.
Can the HDMI Output port of ILX 507 be connected to Optical Input(using convertor-adaptor) of the physical DSP and can it play Audio from Optical Input of DSP ?
Great info. I recently bought a vehicle that has this head unit and I was wondering why so many features were not accessible. The parking brake "safety feature" is the issue. Now I know enough to be able to access the setup features.
Anyone know how to change the satellite channel presets. I now have a couple of the same channels preset and can’t figure out how to remove or add a new channel over the duplicated channels.
So would I use a single din dash kit or double din dash kit to install this head unit? Just ordered it so wanting to get a head start on shipping the hardware I need to install. Thank you.
I am thinking about buying this particular radio, do you think the 4v preout is "bad" compared to the 5v preout? I am aware that 5v is better but do I really feel the difference? Thanks and great video
You’d be super hard pressed to tell the difference between The two that shouldn’t be a Single deciding factor. Definitely want to consider but if the 4v has other features you like then do that one.
Had it fitted yesterday in my 997 after the OEM head unit failed, all good only criticism the Buttons on the Front are Blue and you can't change the colour to Red etc to match my Car's interior, sounds so much better though, than the standard radio 👌
Hey, I’m building a custom mount for a double din and the face plate through which the stereo face/screen will protrude is 3/16" thick. Do you offer a metal cage in which the stereo can be installed for a custom installation like this? Cutting a 4x7" double DIN hole. However, it appears that the screen itself may be larger than the standard 4x7" double DIN opening?
So I like this headunit quite allot but I can't buy it in Europe unless I import it which would add up the cost quite allot. I was looking at the iLX-705D but it really bugs me that it has wireless apple but not android and I'm an android user. Do you have any suggestion on a quality headunit to buy within this price range that is available in Europe (not UK)? Should I hold on for a few months to see the 2023 lineup? ATM I have a crap android HU that the previous owner installed and it's getting on my nerves :/
I bought this the day the uk got it. Must be back in April. It’s been a temperamental head unit. Having to reset it weekly as the wireless CarPlay wouldn’t pick up my iPhone. Then a couple months later it wouldn’t connect at all. Finally did the software update and that sorted it but the problem persists if you have more than 1 phone linked to the unit. Mine also only picks up 2, maybe 3 DAB channels
Yeah the ilx-509 and 511 had the same issues but it all got resolved with the update. I do know that if you have a couple phones hooked up it can get a little tricky.
Hey @Breakers.... I know I'm a little late but do you know if this unit will allow a split screen between carplay and navi. I.e. can you have both apps open side by side to display music and maps
So does screen size determine din size as far as width is concerned? I have a Pioneer AppRadio 4 now which I believe has a 6.2” wide screen. I’m wondering if this Alpine will be too wide
Generally single and double din are an industry standard. Most modern cars have room in the dash for a double din. Obviously getting the right trim kit for your car matters. You should be good.
@@jdmvette yes the form factor is wat am thinking as i havent used a floating before and also in my car it does take sum space off the vents on both sides.
@@karthyra8070 I am currently using a DD ilx-207 which is why I'm looking at updating to the -507. I don't think a floating screen looks good unless it came that way from the manufacturer but to each their own.
Yes metra makes a kit but it out the radio really low. You can install it above but it will have to be custom we did one two Saturdays ago and it came out great
Great video. Can you please help me? Im looking for a double din receiver that has treble, bass and mid if possible on one screen, kind of similar to the Alpine Halo iLX-507. Physical knobs would be my favorite but that seems impossible these days cause pretty much all these units have only an equalizer and it makes it a pain to adjust it every song. I dont want to spend $650 on the alpine for these settings alone cause I dont need a backup camera or any of the 100's other settings. If you could recommend something I'd appreciate it.
If you're plugging in your original camera, it would likely give a fuzzy picture, not because of the headunit, but because those oem type cameras are usually rubbish in most "normal" car (luxury cars may be much better in this regard). So really why bother testing the camera input? It'll be different for each make and model of car. In some case you may need an adapter too.
Yes! There’s a huge difference in processing between the 407 and the 405 for sure! Not to mention the 407 only had a 5 band eq..?? This has 13 band eqs for the front rear left and right along with a 4 band on the sub. Not even close to being the same radio.
Own ilx-f511. Must admit the screen beautiful BUT my bass from pioneer 1500nex sounded waaaay better. I was hoping for better sound from stereo 2-3x more expensive. Also a huge CON it won’t automatically between 2 phones. So if my wife drive car she manually need to connect to Apple car play. Common alpine that’s total BS.. I’m kinda torn and thinking of returning head unit
Wow really? I know there’s lots of adjustments on the alpine radio the 1500nex is kind of a entry level unit with carplay/android auto I’m surprised to hear that.
I have the ILX 705D and at max volume which is 35 the Front and Rear RCA go up to 5.8V not 4V as advertised and Sub channel 3.8 as advertised so for Front and Rear at volume 30 u can hit the 4v without clipping and just have to set the sub gain a little higher cuz u gonna stick with the volume 30 Also for those who wanna know u cant turn off the sub low pass and high pass the lowest u can go on Sub low pass is 20hz 0 slope and same for the high pass Dimming sucks so u just have to keep the deck at full brightness in day time and u can lower at nigh time if u want
-Good to know on the voltage. Thanks. -On the crossovers 0db would be considered off. -Maybe they should have kept the dimmer wire then huh?! -On Android plug it in first and as soon as it syncs you should be able to just disconnect the phone and it switch over wirelessly automatically. -Thanks for the comments
Lemme guess....NO OPTICAL OUTPUT??? In a world where almost ALL CHEAP android units have a optical out...And all the name brands don't there is something seriously wrong. How can these brands call these units "high-end"??? and "high-res" when you still only have analog rca outputs.?? I'm glad i'm running a Clarion nx807e that does have a optical out so i can go digitally into a processor...
We did that along with a demo and the section called “what’s not on the box” we’re we explain what what we or customers have actually experienced. What else do you recommend we cover..? Any suggestions are appreciated
Hey Josh. Working with 06 F250. Has a kenwood DD 6.8. Two questions. If I go with the F509 can I use my double din mount or do I need to get single din? If so what kit do I need. Any problems running the 9in in my truck or should I go with the 507. Awesome videos brother, keep up the good work. 👍

Alpine IXL 507 is an amazing unit purchased 3 months ago in Aust & now many distributors are out stock.
Yeah we just got ours and only got two! We have 40 on back order!
Should have mine next week. In Melbourne.
Does this have 3 way active crossovers? High/Mid/Low outputs, or just front/rear/sub?
How do you hook up two alpine direct connect cameras to this? The spec says it’s capable of it, but the breakout has RCA’s not the direct connect connector blocks?… EDIT never mind just got to the unboxing part. That dual direct connect breakout cable isn’t mentioned at all in alpines manual!
I saw a video of someone using HDMI iphone mirroring.. Could you show a video on how to do this with this stereo..?
Is this still worth buying or wait for the next one?
Clock: how do you set the clock? It had clock adjust but not place to change the actual time or does it keep the time aftet its paired with an android auto device
Does the HDMI out allow certain apps to be displayed from Android Auto?

Would you say it's still worth getting in 2024 near 2025?
Does it support 360 degree camera?
I have the alpine ilx 60 I believe it’s ok but wish it came with a remote. I get nervous fiddling with it while driving.
is screen lag a problem? I have herd sometimes this unit is laggy
Will this retain the factory rear entertainment in a 08 suburban with base? Thanks in advance
I’m looking for a good double din which one is better the pioneer 4660 nex or this alpine ilx 507 ?
Alpine all day!!!
Great detailed review. Thank you! 😍
I'm getting this for my LS430.
Want to hear about the RUX H02 added on this unit as well.
Great info. I recently bought a vehicle that has this head unit and I was wondering why so many features were not accessible. The parking brake "safety feature" is the issue. Now I know enough to be able to access the setup features.
How do you do that?
@@robertalcala3507 In order to change many of the settings on this head unit, you must put the vehicle in park and set the parking brake.
I have a older car and it's manual transmission I'm look for a bypass
Hi! would you recommend this headunit or pioneer DMH 2600?
🤔 so which one do u recommend this alpine or the pioneer 4600NEX?
I have a 08 trailblazer SS
hi this fit VW Tiguan S 2018?
if the answer is not another way to fit and work perfect in my car?
I don’t see a kit available for you car but based on what the radio looks like you can customize it
2017 grand cherokee laredo? (W/ base 5" screen)
I have it and can not display the time? It just shows the two dashes dot and two dashes. What do I have to do?
Anyone know how to change the satellite channel presets. I now have a couple of the same channels preset and can’t figure out how to remove or add a new channel over the duplicated channels.
Do you have a link for the PAC TR1?
Hi, I was just wondering if this head unit is compatible with the optional DVE-5300 DVD player?
is there any dvd radio with similar features?
Just bought this with the Pac Tr1. Curious how everyone is wiring that up since this radio doesn’t have the yellow black foot wire?
Wire it without the black foot wire just tie it off away from the rest
Recommendations for an 05 Prius? Volume knob is a must
Buy the radio, sell the Prius, get man card back
Set the Prius on fire
You can order a Volume knob separately
So would I use a single din dash kit or double din dash kit to install this head unit? Just ordered it so wanting to get a head start on shipping the hardware I need to install. Thank you.
Is the mic built-in?
No separate had mine fitted yesterday
ty can be used with 2nd monitor?

They all suck because they're not digital...
No audible difference. The standard use to be 2v and for along time that was just fine.
Would you recommend this unit for my Porsche 997 ? What else will I need ? Wire Harness ?
I just had a 507 installed in my 987, Premium install harness for Porsche is required $549.95.

How long does it take for the radio to get to Texas ?
Once it ships normally about three business days
Can the boot screen and wall paper be customized? IE can I load my on graphic or logo from a thumb drive

My Bugbear you can't change the Blue Buttons to a different colour, apart from that I'm pleased with the Alpine 705d 👌
Hey @Breakers.... I know I'm a little late but do you know if this unit will allow a split screen between carplay and navi. I.e. can you have both apps open side by side to display music and maps
Yes
Would it fit in a single DIN slot with the screen protruding?
No. The unit itself is too large.
Do you have link for the tr1
We don’t sell it online but I’m sure Amazon has it. PAC TR-1
Will this fit in a single din opening?
No it won’t
Thanks for the reply
What are your thoughts on installing this into a 1984 chevrolet c10.
Not sure they make a double din kit for that car I looked on metra and they don’t have it. Even looked on eBay too
is there a way to connect my rear stock screens to this? they're not hdmi screens 2013 denali

What's the difference between this and the ilx-705d?
