Well built product
I haven’t fully installed it however when I installed it while I was in the front seat of my truck just to see the quality of the video it is amazing hands down one of the best rear view cameras I’ve installed and for the price point it can’t be matched. Nvx has some of the best quality when it comes to their products.

Everything I need
I like it. Wireless Android auto is simple and I use it more than I thought I would. Parking brake settings lockout is kinda aggressive, but there is a way to work around it. It uses its own light sensor so it stays bright during the day of I turn the headlights on for some reason, which is nice. It oddly pushes my car's gauge info center to display the time in the UTC time zone for some reason. Hoping a firmware update will fix that at some point. HDMI works like it should, etc etc. I'd reformat some of the user interface like the volume display that pops up in the middle of the screen when you change it. I'd make it smaller and to one side.

Awesome headunit, headache to install, no support from Sonic Electronix
It took me way too long to figure out how to install this product since it's not technically compatible with my vehicle. Axxess and Metra make kits to make it work so after a lot of troubleshooting I finally got it going. However I did have questions that I needed Sonic Electronix to answer but they said they only provide tech support via email which is not helpful at all when you're trying to live troubleshoot something. If I were to purchase again I would buy from Crutchfield as the $100 difference in item price is worth the actual live technical support.

Great Value, wonderful upgrade!
I have Dodge Grand Caravan 2019 with CVP (most basic value pack). Few years ago, I've already upgraded 4 speakers (2 front door, 2 at 2nd row) and added 2 3.5inch dash speakers with Infinity and JBL brand. Yes, I got improved sound.
This Alpine ILX-509 is absolutely an ultimate upgrade to the old-school head unit and makes my car keeping up the pace of technology.
I have SiriusXM 360L receiver as shown in picture (just below the main display), now can be bluetooth paired with ilx-509. Wow, I got much better sound comparing to aux, Bluetooth LDAC is used so I believe such connection won't lose a bit from Satellite. Different DAC means a lot in sound.
For installation, I would suggest programming the Maestro box first based on your vehile type. Then you'll get detailed instructions on how to connect. You'll need soldering tool to connect cables together.
Sonic Electronix has super-fast FedEx delivery and good price.
Pro: HD Radio, Bluetooth audio, android auto, built-in amplifier with better sound, vehicle info display.... all these modernized my car.

Great backup camera
I would say it gets the job done. It comes on when you put it in reverse and functions as it should. Has a clear, colored picture to see whatever is behind your vehicle. The bracket is a little big for my truck bumper and can’t get the bottom screws in but that’s not an issue. The right side bar light worked for a bit but not anymore. I first hooked it up to my reverse light but I, for some reason, did not get 12volts to that light so the camera wouldn’t come on. The frame itself is very durable, it’s not plastic.

License plate backup camera
I'm extremely in love with my backup camera. I drive a 05 Hyundai Sonata v6 and I can't wait to install this upgrade.

Seems to be built well
Camera has good images and seems to work fine
My only complaint is that the cable they send is to short for a crew cab long bed pickup so if you have anything other then a car plan on ordering a extension cable

Nice backup camera
This backup camera came with the Kenwood double din I purchased. I haven’t installed it yet but what I like about it so far is that license plate frame is this solid metal and not plastic

Super clear image
Was Leary about getting the license plate frame camera as some reviews were not that great. But I was proved wrong super clear image day or night. Only con would be where the wire for the camera is it required me to cut a notch out of my license plate to allow it to fit but not a big deal can’t see it with the frame installed

Great backup camera
Everything works great with the backup camera. The only issue I have with it is it blocks the hatch open button some.

Back up camera
Would have been nice to know upfront that the OEM back up camera would not operate with the alpine deck. It caused a lot of extra time and frustration in the shop where I had it installed. Which inturn cost me more money. So I appreciate the fact that you gave me a free backup camera but, you could have said that the new backup camera must be used with new deck. It would have saved me some money and the installers some frustration. Just sayin.

Great for a vehicle that didn’t come equipped with a camera. Sleek design of the frame makes the camera blend in really well. Installation is easy and straight forward.
