Pioneer DMH-W3050NEX vs Alpine iLX-W670-S
The Pioneer DMH-W3050NEX is the better pick for most shoppers. It adds built-in HD Radio, wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, built-in Wi-Fi, iDatalink Maestro vehicle integration and a bundled GPS antenna. The Alpine iLX-W670-S counters with a shallower chassis that fits tight dashboards, Bluetooth 5.0, Hi-Res Audio playback and a 13-band parametric EQ with 6-channel time correction. Owners of the Pioneer like the wireless CarPlay upgrade but report microphone noise on calls and phone disconnects; the Alpine's shorter depth is its main practical edge.
- Choose the Pioneer DMH-W3050NEX if you want wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, built-in HD Radio and Maestro integration with your car's factory data.
- Choose the Alpine iLX-W670-S if your dash is shallow, or you care most about Hi-Res Audio and fine EQ and time-alignment tuning.
