Great Unit Sound quality is right up there

Easy install, many features, very intuitive. I have had this in my Jeep Wrangler for over a month now and have no complaints. Bluetooth works well and streams all the music...when in pandora mode you can control song choices etc. I would buy again and would buy from Sonic as well. Very fast delivery. The Tune-it app, however needs some work.

I also purchased the plug and play K445 amp...easy install as well.

Nice head unit, gets the job done.

This little piece of equipment offers all the features I needed. Maybe an SD card slot would have been nice. The BT and hands free work great. Really good quality.
I wish it would have some more options on the setup and a better menu structure, but once the initial setup is complete, all you want is music.

Definitely recommend it!

Hot head unit!

This is everything you could want in a deck, cool graphics, ease of use and sounds great! I am amazed on how crystal clear the music plays from the IPOD. The only tiny complaint is that the clock display is tiny...

Great deck easy to use looks great awesome display

I read reviews after I ordered and was concerned I wasn't going to be happpy based on what others said, quite the contrary Alpine has made several implovments over my older deck. Like moving button icons ehind the clear plastic so your finger can't wear them off. The ipod control with the just the dial is WAY better. Great all the way around, if you like Alpine stuff you'll love this deck!

Great head unit for car audio competition

Great head unit for the intermediate to expert in car audio. this deck will let you be able to tune your mid's and hi's very nicely with the built in 7-band eq. very strong face of hu and thicker than average wiring harness on cd player. great product. does not come with remote but is available online. if you have a smart phone download the app and you can tune by using your phone and bt app.

West Tx-Excellent stereo

This is an excellent stereo I bought it to replace my factory stereo & a big difference. It has all kinds of features & I've always liked Alpine stereos.

Great product

This product defiantly delivers a lot and at a good price point. My only complaint is that iPhone app is not easy to get connected to the device but it will eventually work and then all is great. Also the Bluetooth does not immediately connect to my phone but after about a 2 min delay its fine. And finally the usb connector can charge my iPhone but not when it's at significant load running.

But over all I highly recommend this product and enjoy the one I own

A Must Have!

This head unit has many features that make this deck a must have. My favorite is the hands free calling. The Bluetooth feature also works very well and it is very easy to connect to my phone. The aesthetics are better than most and the quality is well above average.

Very frustrated with this unit.

Bought the unit brand new and was quickly disappointed in the lack of tuning options. Then I parked my car in the winter, went and started it up after a week and the deck wouldn't power on! Bench tested it and its definitely an internal failure. Now alpine is closed for the holidays and I'm pissed.

Was way too expensive for what it is as well.

Excellent SQ!!

This unit will provide excellent sound quality for any audiophile. HU has many features including customizable EQ, crossover control, bass control, SiriusXM ready, Alpine Tune-IT, and many more!! PROS: Control bass and crossover FQ as well as other tonal controls from the HU. Audiophile sound, 24 bit converter, flip down face, large display screen, rear USB connection provides cleaner look, iPod controls. CONS: Large volume knob slightly obscures

Great value and a ton of features.

This alpine head unit is packed with features. I like the fact that you can change the illumination to match your car interior lighting. The faceplate looks good compared to some other brands out there. It would be nice if the deck came with a remote control. Overall this stereo is good.

Best Sound for the Money

Great sounding head unit with easy to use feature controls. Pluses for me are mute and pause/play buttons and easy to read display day or night. Packed with features to tailor sound to your liking. Download the Tune It app on your smartphone and try other owners sound configurations. Drives my NVX 4 channel amp and Alpine 6.5 components and 6.5 2 way speakers with ease. Also have a powered Rockford Fosgate 12" sub in the trunk that rounds out a very nice sounding system.
