Great value

The following review is for XC5N1, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I bought this because it was a great price and would like to see what's behind my car when I back up.

Quick and easy

The following review is for XC5N1, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Great product, very simple installation procedure. The enclosed instructions are a little vague, but it is a straight forward process. Various mounting options are included, and even a hole saw is included. The only issue I had was the video cable wasn't very high quality, I ended up having to replace it after the tinning came off and the cable wouldn't output video.

Clear Video, Easy installation, Seamless Integration, Cheap Hardware

The following review is for XC5N1, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Video quality is very good on this camera and the extra mounts make it easy to fit a wide range of vehicles. I installed mine as a rearview camera to supplement my aftermarket head unit. All the wiring I needed was included. I stripped the head on both mounting screws even after drilling pilot holes. be careful of that. Overall I am very pleased with this camera, I see it be a high-quality product.

Everything I need

The following review is for iLX-F509, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

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

The following review is for iLX-F509, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

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!

The following review is for iLX-F509, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

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.

For installation, I would suggest programming the Maestro box first based on your vehile type, then you can download detailed instructions for connection. You need solering tool for connecting cables together.

Great for the price

The following review is for XC5N1, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I like how modular this camera is, was fairly simple to put together in the combination I wanted. I like that the camera lens can be pointed since where mine is mounted sloped slightly. Image appears pretty clear. I just hope this one lasts longer than the crux cub01 camera that lasted less than 24 hours.

Versatile, Easy to Install

The following review is for XC5N1, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I've always found NVX products to be the best of both worlds - great quality and value. This backup camera is no exception. I personally like that five different mounting options are offered with this product, contributing to the possibility of achieving whichever OEM look that suits your vehicle.
