Upgrade your radio with this Alpine in-dash receiver. Anti-glare technology refracts sunlight away from the screen to make this receiver easier to use during the day. This Alpine in-dash receiver is compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so you can listen to music in the car without having to use extra cords.
Q: I also need/want to get a backup up camera installed. Is this device compatible to do that? Thanks
A: Yes
Q: Does this unit support steering wheel controls for my 2011 Toyota Venza? Thank you.
A: Just did installed in my 2007 Camry XLE and it does support the steering wheel controls which is quite nice to keep both hands on the steering wheel and to use the wheel controls.
A: Yes there are additional items to be purchased
Q: Does this have a built in microphone for making phone calls?
A: It comes with a corded mic that can be mounted in your car. Otherwise, if your car already has mics, it can be tied into that system.
A: I practically asked the same question. I previously had a Pioneer installed in my Altima with steering wheel controls and microphone. I had an issue with my Pioneer system Best Buy stood behind their warranty (1 month and a few weeks dealing with no stereo at all) it came back with a scratch on the face so they replaced with equal value which I chose this Alpine. The installer assured me it would work with my previously installed microphone and steering wheel controls. It’s been a few weeks and only issue I have is that Sirius XM isn’t working (which I need to go back in to have them look at it. However, long story short the steering wheel controls and microphone works excellent. I’m definitely no professional so I would definitely ask them prior to purchasing it. As I know I did have to pay extra for the steering wheel controls, microphone and install kit with backup camera. But I’m confident you will be completely satisfied with the sound, clarity and ease of functionality with this Alpine. Good luck.
Q: Does this unit display Apple Maps or Google Maps?
A: Yes, if you have an iPhone you can utilize Apple maps and if you have an android you can utilize good maps. The Waze app works with both.
A: It charges the phone as well, works great, I used Kenwood for years but Alpine is better clearity and sounds louder and better.
