TENTH of TEN! Alpine iLX F905D REVIEWED - It's AWESOME!

Adam Rayner plugs in a lots of electric spaghetti, and experiments with the Halo9 Alpine iLX-F908D singl-DIN car deck with floating screen. It is a tour de force, dripping with every feature nad convenience as well as astonishing way-above-CD-resolution ability with digital tunes. It can even boss your posh high resolution TIDAL account.

This nice unit has 4 x 50w class d amp. I was thinking of using it to run my front components. 2 channels for mid/tw and 2 channels for midbass and a active sub. I realise I will lose fader control and rear deck but I don't care much for rear fill.

Do you know if, when I am listening to DAB radio and got my phone connected through Bluetooth, I will be able to hear the navigation messages of the phone through the speakers over the DAB?

Man I wish I could stretch to one of those for the family wagen. Needs bass first though 😂

The unit looks nice, but would like a volume knob instead of small push button.

I have the unit in my t6. It is rubbish!
No auto volume limiting.
When you unlock the van, the unit switches on.
When the unit switches on, it switches on at the last volume used and that can blast you out of the chair.
Might be my phone (OnePlus 11 & OnePlus 5) but the Bluetooth connection is pants.
Can't answer calls from steering wheel.
It is sold as designed for the t6, but you have to additionally buy cable x, cable y, cable z, adapter AA...
The usb connection from the radio to the dash unit.... You have to dismantle the VW socket and modify it to fit the so called VW designed alpine unit.
Benny l menu system designed to look good but not user friendly.
What on earth is TIDAL anyway?
There's got to be better units out there.
