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.

Q: $299 and free install is solid. I cant find whether or not I'll need to buy additional wire harnesses to hook it up to my steering wheel and satelite antenna?

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.

Q: Will this wirelessly connect to my iPhone X in a 2008 Chevy trailblazer or do I have to plug my phone into deck to play my Apple Music? Thanks for your help

A: Plug in

Q: Will this radio work in a 2016 wrangler including all steering wheel controls? Will a new microphone be needed or will the Original microphone work with this unit

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.

Q: Does this receiver have the ability to charge my phone while plugged in? I am comparing it to a similar Kenwood receiver that specifically called out fast charging.

A: It charges the phone as well, works great, I used Kenwood for years but Alpine is better clearity and sounds louder and better.

Then I let the Alpine play...
I'm quite happy with the Alpine 7. I got it because of its large screen, lack of physical buttons, and Apple Carplay functionality. It fit perfectly into the factory slot of my Toyota Tacoma 2018 model. Best Buy installed it without issue. The unit has more features than I currently use like separate bass controls and built-in EQ. My greatest satisfaction is to be able to view and operate Waze on the face of the unit without having to have my phone produce from my dash. I installed an aftermarket wireless CarPlay receiver (about $60) that worked perfectly with the unit and I can simply hop in the car and everything connects without plugging my phone in.

Very Solid!
My first radio I installed in my 2007 Mazda speed 6 was a android head unit and it was overall a pain in the butt. The back up camera cut out when the car was running CarPlay was buggy and it only had 2 speaker outs making it practically useless. I was very skeptical of buying a radio at this price but I’ve heard very good things from alpine. I believe this is the first 7 inch radio put in a Mazda speed 6 in Michigan just because this car isn’t mean for a aftermarket radio based on the stock one. This radio gives you literally everything you need quality rcas for multiple cameras, 4 speaker outs, usb, (etc). I did have 1 small issue with the Bluetooth mic. I bought a powerdewise mic hoping it would work but I got no sound. You can try other options but alpine gives you a mic with the unit which is solid. I was very happy with the quality of this product and the fact that my back up camera actually works now. If anyone is looking to buy this head unit remember even if it says it doesn’t fit look up dash kits and you can usually always make it work. You also have a return period with Best Buy and a 1 year warranty with Alpine making the experience that much better.

Great Sound in my Wrangler!
I bought this unit to replace my stock Infiniti system in my 2011 Wrangler unltd. and I could not be happier! The stereo is a perfect fit in the dash and looks like a factory unit but sounds much much better. I bought it because I hated the Uconnect phone system that was horrible sounding and unusable and i wanted to install a backup camera. I lost factory nav but gained Apple CarPlay which works better anyway. The unit is simple and easy to use but has great sound and more power. It works seamlessly with my factory powered sub and was fairly easy to adjust the bass levels to mix perfectly. Overall I am very pleased with my purchase and as usual, BestBuy did an amazing job with the install. My only con if you wanna call it a con, was the extra money that it cost for the adapter plugs and install kit to make it work with my steering wheel controls and USB port (that is located on the back of the stereo) were pricier than expected. Also one annoying thing is that you cannot change any settings or switch between phones unless you stop and pull the emergency brake first. A safety feature that I would love to bypass but you cannot. For the price, $299 with fee installation and 0% interest it is the best deal hands down!
