The Alpine iLX-507 is a double-DIN head unit with a 7-inch 720p HD capacitive touchscreen. It supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, both wired and wireless, and has built-in Bluetooth hands-free calling for music, messages, calls and maps from a smartphone.
It plays Hi-Res audio at 96kHz/24bit from a smartphone over wired USB or Bluetooth, or from Hi-Res files on a USB drive. Wireless Hi-Res audio requires an LDAC-compatible device. It also has built-in HD Radio and Pandora Internet Radio (via iPhone or Android connection), and it is SiriusXM-Ready. TIDAL is integrated on the unit and gives access to its catalog of over 90 million songs. Lossless and high-fidelity options are available to TIDAL HiFi and HiFi Plus members.
Tuning features include a 13-band parametric EQ per channel and 6-channel time correction. Three sets of 4V preamp outputs, with front, rear and subwoofer control, allow additional amplifiers. Two camera inputs support a front, side or rearview camera, and the rearview camera shows a distance guide overlay. The unit is compatible with the iDatalink Maestro Module, which can display vehicle information such as steering wheel controls, tire pressure, engine codes and HVAC control. Available information varies by vehicle.
