Alpine INE-W970HD

I’m looking forward in your product in I will let you guys know how good it is

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.

Alpine INE W970HD

I brought this radio to replace my Alpine INE W960 touchscreen this radio says it plays CDs but it won't play any CDs from iTunes that are aac format it just keeps ejecting them by itself and it won't display the cd text wish they kept that feature for this radio also the Siri voice for the GPS gets to be really annoying and keeps cutting in and out while listing to music to tell you you're going over the speed limit but you can disable it if you go to setting on the GPS menu. the backup camera works great. turns on every time you put the car in reverse even if the head unit is off. If you just want apple carplay without navigation just buy the cheaper one. This model is more of a downgrade from the older model except for the apple car play feature. It's a great head unit but is a little overpriced for how they changed the cd player design.

It’s a beast

Recommend it if you’re looking for something you can upgrade to later , like adding speakers , amplifier etc…this system looks better when I took it out the box. I love the quality , the sound is just what I expected from Alpine. It’s my Charger but had I known I would have just bought the one with the bigger screen. With my car you have to by the harness and the Axxess 1 module and antenna adapter.. this was easy to install if you have basic wiring knowledge because everything goes through the harness. The radio actually came early ..it’s a beast , you better go pick yours up today …lol … thanks Sonic Electronix , you guys Rock…..

Excellent Stereo, one annoying feature you'll want to bypass.

This is my first time with a nice stereo like this, and I must say, I am thoroughly impressed. You can definitely do this yourself, given a day or two (less if you know what you're doing). Installed this in my 2011 Kia Forte, and it has seriously leveled up my enjoyment of music.
Pros:
Custom guidelines for backup camera
-Audio screen that lets you choose to shuffle, repeat, skip, and restart/rewind back
-VERY nice GPS navigation system- lots of options and very intuitive
-Sleek, with a VERY loud maximum volume. I turn this thing up to 20/40 and even that is too loud, I love it.
-Lots of customization- You can change the background colors and the colors of the button backlights.
-Customizable "my menu", both android auto and apple carplay. Android auto is buggy, but this is not an issue with the stereo- rather, an issue with all android auto functions, unfortunately. That's just how it is.
Cons:
-No volume knob, only buttons. This one is more of a personal preference, but the benefits outweighed this for me.
-This is the most annoying thing for me. There exists a safety feature that is VERY hard to install on your own, which prevents you from accessing the majority of customizations unless you have disengaged and re-engaged the hand brake. However, you can by pass this with a part (look up alpine radio parking break bypass) or with a toggle switch, hooking up the parking break wire to the switch, along with a ground. Toggling the switch off and on is a good temporary fix.
- The "my menu" mentioned earlier is unfortunately not always put on display when you start up. You will have to select it.

Overall, the cons are really minor, with the only serious con being the parking brake safety feature. I definitely recommend this radio anyways, it is fantastic.
I initially had my doubts because of a lot of BBB ratings that were very bad, but I would say that SonicElectronics does a good job. My only tip is not to pay for 1-day shipping, it didn't even get shipped out of their store/warehouse until after like, 2 or 3 days haha.

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.

By Tiffany on March 4, 2025 Verified purchase

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

By Viridiana on January 11, 2025 Verified purchase

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

Good Camera

First camera I’ve installed but it seems like it’s made out of good quality material and durable. Quality isn’t too bad either

By Adrian on August 23, 2024 Verified purchase

Got it free.

Got this with a purchase. Great value. Built well too.

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.

By Joshua on April 16, 2025 Verified purchase

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 product

This camera works great and easy hook up

By Moe on February 11, 2025 Verified purchase

Love it

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.

By Nate on February 2, 2025 Verified purchase

Great camera

Seems to have decent quality picture and I'm hoping it last for a long time.
