Thanks for the video,it’s a great radio,I’m not sure why it’s so important that you can change the color of the buttons or the wallpaper ,it does what it’s supposed to do,play media and give you great sound,plus it’s an alpine,great video thanks
How do I get the background to turn white while using Apple CarPlay? I have the solid white/black wallpaper and when I switch always dark to automatic it just stays black. I’ve seen TH-cam videos that show the white display when switched to automatic. I have the latest firmware on it. Thanks.
@@iSimplifiedTech by custom you mean those terrible wallpapers you can choose from the wallpaper options screen? Lol I think I will just stick to off black. :)
I can’t tell you anything about that on this particular unit, I haven’t tested but most headunits will distort near max volume. Some are able to go max volume without any clipping but most can't. Also this depends on what kinda speaker you have and how you set the gains.
You can decrease Distortion by upgrading your speakers. Or buy the internal amp that bolts directly to the ilx350 with upgraded speakers for loud crisp music
Thank you for discussing responsiveness. Not many other reviewers do.

I’ve had mine for 6 months now,it makes me really miss my pioneer 4600 :(
Were you able to find out why the picture was so washed out in the CarPlay function? Love the review. Thanks !
I like this kind of reviews , thanks!
Thank you for watching, more content coming soon.
el Carplay de este estereo es buenisimo, su fluidez es muy buena!! y su sonido es muuuy limpio
you by far have the best radio reviews
haha i like how you pronounced “bass”
Awesome video. Very well explained
where is the on/off button on this stereo?
I have one and I love it
When I go to the setup options, most of the options are faded out, including my clock
Most likely the parking brake wire is not properly wired. You can buy a bypass for that it’s called “parking brake bypass”.
Is the Apple play wireless or do you have to connect the phone to the radio?
Yeah let me know too
What's the difference between this and the w690?
Hello I just got this stereo installed , mine is on the android setting , how do I get it go to the CarPlay screen ?
That’s my same question
so it won't play video or movies?
Can i used button on steering wheel with this unit ?
I have one but apple play is not in there
How can I install these applications on the android radio?
Does this come with an included back up camera, or does that have to be bought separately?
Doesn’t include the backup camera, you will need to buy a non HD camera for this unit.
I had my stock toyota back up camera hooked up to this radio and it works fine. Aftermarket back up cameras are not too expensive.
How do I install this in a 2008 Toyota Yaris?
Were you able to find out why the CarPlay looks washed out ??????

White background used to be on iOS 13, after the update to iOS 14 they got rid of it and they added a feature to set custom background/wallpaper .
@@iSimplifiedTech by custom you mean those terrible wallpapers you can choose from the wallpaper options screen? Lol
I think I will just stick to off black. :)
how did it connect to Apple Car play. ? I do not see that Car Play icon in my Alpine?
Did you ever end up working it out?
Will I give up on any feature if I install this on a Toyota Rav4 2018?
I don’t think so, you should be good.
It shows that a thumb drive will connect but can I connect a 2.5 external hard drive that holds my media?
No clue about that, never tried.
@@iSimplifiedTech okay thanks anyway
Is it wireless CarPlay/android auto or does it have to be wired
Needs to be wired
Why doesn’t SiriusXm show logos of the channels only just a plain SiriusXm logo
You have to have it plugged into the back of the unit.
How to setup apple car play
Can SiriusXM work simultaneously with apple CarPlay?
Yes, sound source should be set to SiriusXM while using CarPlay
Why does Bluetooth don’t connect
How do you reboot radio
Is it wireless CarPlay…!?!
is there spotify as well?
Yes
Wirelesss car play ?
Wireless Apple CarPlay or GOOGLE Android Auto are not available for this unit.
Is this compatible with steering wheel control?
You will need an adapter to make it work.
@@iSimplifiedTech thanks. I did need the module and it costs me a lot but still happy with the head unit. Carplay is so responsive and fast.
Is the Apple carplay wireless ?
No
nobody wants fucking lag. ive just chosen my stereo
Can it have youtube on android auto?
Natively TH-cam is not supported on Android Auto but there are some “hacks” around to make it work.
What "hacks" do I need as I just bought this unit
Can you turn the volume of this head unit to max volume without sending distortion?
I can’t tell you anything about that on this particular unit, I haven’t tested but most headunits will distort near max volume. Some are able to go max volume without any clipping but most can't. Also this depends on what kinda speaker you have and how you set the gains.
@@iSimplifiedTech ok thanks I will just set gains for max volume to be at 75% of head unit max volume
You can decrease Distortion by upgrading your speakers. Or buy the internal amp that bolts directly to the ilx350 with upgraded speakers for loud crisp music
Does CarPlay only connect with usb?
I have the same question
Yes, USB only.
Is there any adapter that will make it connect Bluetooth?
Unfortunately no.
@@Joeknow81 yes there are some available
Alpine or Kenwood Excelon DDX396?
If you want a simple and fast unit go with the Alpine.
Max volume
Can I watch TH-cam ?
No
