Holy cow. First off, I have an aftermarket stereo system on my Jeep Wrangler JKU and oh man, this brought power and quality that I never knew existed. Sounds like a freaking concert. I have also bought the Maestro parts necessary to link the cars computer to the Radio, that way I have all the gauges and information like RPM, MPG, Speed, all in real time. Thirdly, it comes with an HDMI input so I bought the alpine USB/HDMI accessory extension, a long with the Apple HDMI converter so I can screenplay anything on the radio from my IPhone. Fourthly, CarPlay is amazing, I have never touched my phone less in the car while driving, makes the music sound better as well. The design is perfect for making any older car look and feel amazingly new in the inside. There is a dim light on the very bottom making it obvious at night that the radio is floating in a futuristic style. I love it. The only thing I can say COULD BE BETTER, is the quality of the display. I believe it is a 480 but hopefully could be a 1080 in the future. Doesn’t bother me that much because the sound makes up for it by a million , and to me that’s why I bought this radio, for an all around good purchase for me, the driver.

I was skeptical about installing this in a older car, but afterwards I am so glad that I did it. It sounds phenomenal and it’s easy to navigate.

Alpine hit a home run with this head unit for cars that didn't come with CarPlay or Android Auto from the factory. Installation was fairly straight forward, however, a word of caution regarding the "power plate" when doing the install you need to be careful as it seems like one could easily break the switch taking the plate on and off. I recommend putting a piece of electrical tape over the switch to hold the switch down as well as protect from when you put the plate on.
