Customer Ratings & Reviews

i feel i made a major mistake selecting this unit (INE-W977HD). i selected the best car stereo in the display; well the most expensive one ($1299.99). i assumed it was the latest & greatest. it has 7inch touch screen, built in GPS ,& ability to add a backup camera. it takes a few seconds for reverse cam to display on the screen, you have to wait again for the red,yellow,green lines to be drawn on the screen. maybe 1 out of 5 calls has a issue (most common, you can hear them, but they cant hear you. majority of settings are disabled when the car is not in park AND the park brake is engaged.you have to have the car in park. then engage park brake, release the park brake, then engage the park brake a second time. NOW the 'setting's icon is no longer greyed out. i understand driving while distracted is serious issue. but if you press the GPS button while driving you have to read and accept a full paragraph of terms while driving at any speed. this stereo came out in 2017. i wish i did my homework before this purchase

Had the Pioneer 8400 navigation radio system. Had wireless Apple Car Play. Liked the wireless Car Play since I use the navigation for work. Started acting up, navigation going out, so forth. So I exchanged it for this Alpine unit. I heard good things about Alpine from other people. This unit was $300.00 more than the Pioneer. Alpine stated Innovation. After they put it in, found out that it wasn't wireless had to plug in using the only USB cable that came with the unit. (Pioneer has 2). Have an older style ipod that I plug into the 2nd USB so I can play ipod through steering wheel controls. Can't do that with this unit. Just has the AUX. speaker jack that only plays when you put radio in AUX mode and have to setup manually on ipod every time. The Navigation is fair. Has multiple trip function that is a plus, but couldn't get it to work properly. Ended up going back to the Pioneer. Figured I might have just had a faulty unit last time. Alpine states innovation, HA. Not with this unit. Save your money!!! Seems that the 8400 is the only Navigation unit that I found for the price That comes with wireless Apple Car Play.

Unit seems to work well and the installation looks clean and blends with the dashboard. Unit however could use an update for the GPS system and can't get rid of the construction and gas station icons even though the unit shows that they are turned off.

I connect to my truck an it work great no problem.
