Alpine iLX-W670 touchscreen receiver | Crutchfield

Alpine's iLX-W670 brings Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to your dash, plus delivers a big upgrade in sound quality. The receiver is so shallow, there's room behind it to bolt on one of Alpine's Power Pack mini amplifiers, giving you a robust audio system that fits easily into your dash opening.

That's right, both those amplifiers can fit behind the iLX-W670 receiver, and the whole package fits into a standard double-DIN dash opening. This saves space for your installation, and also simplifies your signal run thanks to a handy wiring harness.

The iLX-W670 gives you a big capacitive touchscreen and excellent phone integration. Using a wired connection to Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, you'll get the most useful apps from your phone up on the screen, so you can pay more attention to the road.

True to form, Alpine gives you a lot of control over your sound. There are crossovers for the front, rear, and sub channels so you can direct the best frequencies to your speakers. 6-channel time alignment lets you adjust the timing of your speakers so that all the sound reaches you at the same time, even in the odd listening layout of your car. And you can fine-tune using the 13-band EQ or dive into the new Sound Boost menu for more options.

The iLX-W670 gives you room to grow and expand your system in the future. There are high-current, 4-volt preamp outputs for adding more amps and subs, a Satellite Radio input for adding a tuner, and a connector for a backup camera. And of course, you can strap on one of their little Power Pack amps right behind the radio. There's even built-in control over the light show in Alpine's PrismaLink subwoofers.

I like kenwood, sony, jvc or pioneer. Alpine use to be a fave of mine, but they have became so behined in tech against other brands.

Now they just need to disable the requirement to set the parking brake to access settings rather than me having to install a break bypass. Dont need a nanny to tell me whats safe.

I recently had the Alpine 670 installed, but I can't seem to figure out how to display the song name or artist in playing the radio. Is there a step that I'm missing?

[travisa]

Do i need the extra amp if im just upgrading the factory speakers?

[doobedi]

What if I already have a sound system, does the power pack still have a purpose?

[doobedi]

Do it have steering wheel controls for under models vehicles?

[JRBeckford]

Can a USB splitter be used with this unit?

[kinhung]

just concern the heat issue. tropical areas heat are nightmare during daytime

[BecomingAttuned]

iLX-W670 or DMH-2600NEX? They're the same price right now. DMH is older but iLX is newer and seems to be more updated. Opinions anyone?

I can hear my radio, look through the screen on the connected camera. However I cannot listen to APPs like Apple Music or Spotify. It doesn’t not function with USB cable or Bluetooth mode. Poor quality coming from Alpine. All Firmware updates was also checked.

The branded head units are good but expensive. Chinese android units have upped their game and now off more features, Carplay/Auto and sound quality on par if not better than these players. For example an Android unit with TDA7851 chip and 8 core processor will be much better ans feature rich. From brands like ATOTO, Mekede etc. cost less than these expensive units.

They need to increase the size of the screen. Too small
