We came away impressed when we saw the Alpine Halo9 receiver at CES 2018. It mounts into a single-DIN opening, and gives you a big, floating screen that works with Apple CarPlay & Android Auto. And of course, you get Alpine sound quality as well.

So far in the past 3 months I have installed 3 of the same alpine units and the screen is bulky and the touchscreen is laggy and not worth the $900, also it’s a pain in the butt to install the screen once everything is in place
Newly installed in my 08 Ram 1500 and looks amazing.
I know the car audio industry will never be on par with cell phones / tablets, but 900 dollars for a sub par monitor??
Single din with a floating screen great concept
Nice, it looks like the New Navigator's Screen.
Still waiting for a 4k display and reverse camera. VGA won't cut it anymore. Edit: I'm willing to settle for a display with 1080p and a high quality 1080p camera.
fourbypete 4K hell I will settle for 1080/720p. Kenwood is finally increasing their car radios to 720p for 2018. Maybe by 2022 we will have 4k radio displays.
Man, if they can make a mobile phone with an 8 core prossesor and a 4k display with front and rear cameras then they sure as hell can do it in a car stereo.
I'm trying to find a head unit that will give me a HD rear view camera and can play 1080p video for my old Jeep.
That resolution is shameful, Alpine you should be ashamed.
$900? You can find very similar devices running full android on eBay for $200-300. I get that the support will be better and it might be a little better reliability wise, but still.
Any links to those devices? Interested
glad to see this exactly demoed on my truck
Looks great but the resolution is sub par. I know CarPlay and Android Auto displays seem to all be WVGA but I have a $25 Kindle Fire that has better resolution then this $1,000+ display. Would be nice to have decent resolution for HDMI output.
Bingo. People go on about 720p being subpar on 5" phones. Not alone 480p at 9". The price has to be recouping r&d costs, rather than the actual hardware. Its still the small 18w rms, where at this price, they could've easily included their power pack. And don't even look how much the dvd add on costs.
It'll eventually come down, but eh.
Kenwood has 720p resolution radios for 2018. It's about time.
First thing I noticed was the low res screen.
I feel like work really well with SUV not so much with smaller sedans
You're right in that it depends a lot on the dash configuration. In some cases, you may end up blocking vents or buttons with the screen. It does help that it's a single-DIN mount, and you can angle the screen before locking it down, but it is definitely going to work better in some cars than others.
Where can I find instructions for installing the iLX-F903D in a Jeep JK Rubicon 2018? Do I need to install an additional amplifier? In the car there are native speakers and a native subwoofer.
We do not carry this model as it is not marketed in the U.S. and we have not researched it to know exactly how its installed. I recommend checking with a local installer for help.
Can any expert advice if this could fit in the Hyundai i30 new model
Kayden Ang yes it should fit
Chinese manufacturers are innovating in car audio. Capacitive touchscreen, 1080 screens... I might have to go that way. And why is it soo bulky? We have the technology to have a thin tablet and docked. Can't wait till there is one of those.
Unbelievable that Chinese offbrand are making way better stuff that...
Just got mine installed in my Jeep Wrangler and the resolution is terrible. (For apple carplay)
hi recently purchased the 309 halo but have not been able to get the HDMI to work with my galaxy S10 it should mirror it but doesn't register that it's there at all please help! totally expected more from Alpine which original reason for buying Alpine
If you purchased this with us, our tech support is available 7 days a week! They would love to help you troubleshoot it!
biggest concern is: what if car clima and lock settings, steering settings etc. are controlled through cars original centerunit screen... then what!? Wouuld it work?
That will ultimately depend on the year, make and model of the vehicle in question--when used with the iDatalink Maestro interface, the Alpine iLX-F309 retains factory features in a wide selection of vehicles. For more details or to discuss further, please feel free to contact an Advisor directly from the Crutchfield website: www.crutchfield.com/I-rYTVc000//Support/contactus.aspx
Hope that helps!

is ilx-f309 the only large screen aftermarket unit from name brand manufacturer?
I mean bigger than 2 din size screen.
The only manufacturer that makes anything larger than double din is Alpine. They have more options than just the ilx-f309.
You can connect with one of our friendly product advisors to see what the biggest screens that fit your vehicle are: bit.ly/2DGSzu3
What about a steering wheel control?
It will be compatible with the factory steering wheel radio controls in most vehicles with the proper installation accessories.

Crutchfield what about those mini remots that are connected to the steering wheel and work with super good IR BLASTERS?
Been using a pioneer one for more than 10 years and it still is flawless
Since the Alpine iLX-F309 hasn't been released yet (latest ETA from Alpine is 3/7/18) we don't have all the details available on its full capabilities; so it's unclear at this time whether or not you can use an external IR remote. Please check back with one of our Advisors in the near future for more updates: www.crutchfield.com/I-rYTVc000//Support/contactus.aspx
Thanks!

Way too much for too little. Contacted Crutchfield directly for options on my classic car. Crutchfield is awesome as always, but with this recommendation I can't go with. Even if it had more bells and whistles I can't justify spending $900+ tax on a dang car stereo.
Will it fit on a 2019 RAV4 LE....?
I can fit into the 2019 Rav4 that came without the JBL sound system and our online vehicle fit guide can help with getting all the parts to install it:
www.crutchfield.com/I-rYTVc227/car/carselector.aspx
2 things that Alpine needs to improve. Coming from an owner of this HU.
1) 2 USB ports... Excuse me Alpine!.. but WHY is there only 1 USB port in a $900 head unit? Really Alpine? Was it THAT difficult to add 2?! Kenwood, Pioneer, Sony, JVC have 2 USB ports even on $300-$400 base units. If they did it, ALPINE CAN DO THAT AS WELL!
2) Why on God's earth, would they make the strip wire and position it in a location (when connect brains and screen) so easily to puncture with a screw when securing the unit during final assembly! To anyone who will install this... BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL when attaching screen to the brains. If you put a screw through that strip wire... you are done!
If it comes out like DVD players (that ugly rectangular box), it would've been awesome. Wouldn't you worry to park that thing if you live in the city? I am sure thieves would want to just rip that thing off.
"Steal me"
fish fingers Lmaoooo
Will this fit a 2011 Cadillac CTS coupe ?
Unfortunately the Alpine Halo9 ILX-F309 does not fit the 2011 Cadillac CTS coupe . It doesn't fit because we don't have a dash kit to make it fit in the factory radio opening properly. With the floating screens like this one, it has to be anchored down properly so that it doesn't fall out of your dash. It's not that it won't physically fit, we just don't carry a dash kit to make it secure in the dash.
Does it have HD Radio channels?
It sure can tune in HD Radio channels!
When will Crutchfield actually have the unit? Will they take preorders? What is the price I have heard $900 to $1100 what's the real price?
It's all preliminary information at this point Angel. We are taking pre-orders over the phone but do not have any ETA for the first shipment as of yet: 888-955-6000
Hope that helps.

Can u play CZcams from your phone and make it play on the unit?
The Alpine's iLX-F309's rear-panel HDMI input can be used to connect select Android or Apple iOS devices with video output to the digital media receiver. With the vehicle's parking brake engaged you can mirror the smartphone device's image and watch stored video and video apps (like CZcams) on the digital media receiver's touchscreen monitor.
Hope that helps!

Would something like this fits nicely on 2014+ Corolla?
It sure can fit into those cars! We've got the install gear to mount it and make it work in them and discount that gear up to $50 off with the purchase of the Alpine. HTH!
--Crutchfield
Crutchfield nice!
Had the only given it a high quality DAC... Sabre with DSD playback.. this thing would sell like hotcakes in the SQ world.
would it work on a h3 hummer
Get in touch with one of our advisors to see what will fit in your vehicle! We would love to explore the options available to you! bit.ly/2KP1zS3
Will it fit into a Chevy Silverado 2004
We don't have a way to mount this radio into a 2004 Chevy Silverado. There are others radios that we have gear to install. You can use our vehicle fit guide to see all the options. Here's where you can get started with that:
www.crutchfield.com/I-rET1c000/car/carselector.aspx
HTH!

Fucken Alpine is the shit!
If you install this in your car. You might as well pay for “car window broken program”
Can it fit my qashqai?
I'm sorry, but unfortunately we are not able to check fitment for vehicles that are marketed and sold outside of the United States. You might check with a car audio installer in your area, they should be able to help you out with that.
I hope it works for Cadillac Escalades 07 and up
You can check for vehicle-specific fitment using the OutfitMyCar tool on the Crutchfield website: www.crutchfield.com/I-rYTVc000/car/carselector.aspx?lp=%2fCar%2foutfitmycar%2fmycar.aspx

Nathaniel Harris yes it will work with your Cadillac
Tesla's in-car screen is the only reason I love Tesla.
I bought an ILX-107 for my car. Like this it doesn’t have a volume knob. I will not be buying another knob-less double din. My 996 doesn’t have steering wheel controls so it’s super annoying.
Great point, Ken. I just ordered the Sony XAV-AX5000 from Crutchfield for $429. My car is a 2008 SAAB 9-5 with a premium GM head unit with a huge volume knob, which is appreciated.
I decided to bite the bullet and get the Sony because almost all of my volume duties are on the steering wheel. That said, I will miss all of the real, tactile buttons. Hopefully the Bluetooth, three cameras, SiriusXM with their 300 tuner, and other goodies will make me forget all of my previous features.
Will it fit in 2011 Renault koleos??
We only research vehicles made for the U.S. market. You may want to check with Alpine directly to see if the model will be available in your region and if it is a recommended fit in your vehicle.
Hope that helps.

Crutchfield okey thanks
900 bucks. No thnx!
Do you know the actual dimensions?
What you see above is all of the preliminary information we have on this model at the moment.Once we have more complete information on the product, it's pricing and it's availability, we'll begin taking pre-orders for it on the main Crutchfield website. For additional assistance and personalized recommendations, feel free to contact us directly by phone or through our online chat service: bit.ly/2jBGHPp Hope that helps.--Crutchfield
Bad resolution. Wired Apple Carplay/Android Auto NO Wireless. And not as customizable
how much?
Per Alpine's website: "The iLX-F309 will be available at authorized Alpine retailers in February for $1,100 SRI" Please feel free to contact an Advisor from the Crutchfield website for the latest updates on availability: www.crutchfield.com/I-rYTVc000/Support/Chat.aspx
Hope that helps!

Mercedes inspired! Looks like a new Mercedes-Benz screen
NINE HUNDRED
Saw one in a shop today (i know there is a few in the range) this one i saw was $1500 AUD, literally embarrassed to use it, so laggy and non responsive like a $50 tablet from 2008, and the "Touch" panels on the front bottom may as well been fake as non of them worked unless you pinched it. Have to say Alpine have gone backwards on this one as its worse than my 7 inch unit with DVD/CD, that can be had cheaper
Looks fucking awesome
Are you Alex Jones
I wonder will this fit in my RX-8? hmmmmm
Too expensive, I seen ppl actually put an iPad in their vehicle for less or about the same price as this
corderajones as a stereo ?
edgar gomez yes! There’s how to videos on CZcams
just install an iPad 9.7
As soon as he said $900 bucks I was out.
800 to 900 dollars. No thank you. I ll buy a joying unit
I made the mistake of buying one of these. Worst Alpine head unit I've owned in 35 years. The volume buttons are infuriating. They don't work if your fingers are dirty or oily and only work half the time when they are clean. Alpine's UI is awful and laggy. It's so ridiculously bad that I had to read the manual to learn how to set a radio station.
Carplay works fine but it buries the audio and sub level controls under many layers of menus, defeating Carplay's ease of use and making it dangerous to use while driving. Nice job, Alpine.
First time installers should beware of the ribbon cable on the back of the monitor should you need to slide it upwards to clear AC controls or whatever. When you slide the monitor up as designed, the ribbon cable folds itself neatly over a screw hole and it then becomes possible to run the "security screw" right through the cable. You cannot see this happen because the monitor blocks your view of it and the final plastic trim piece still fits with the cable under it. You can literally spend hours installing this thing and destroy it on the very last step. It's one of the most piss poor designs I've seen in 35 years of installing. Thankfully, I was warned as you have now been.
Also, no thief is getting this out of the dash unless he knows exactly what he is doing. It will get destroyed and everyone will lose in the end.
Don't buy this.
I don’t like this kind of stereos
TERRIBLE IDEA. Looks like a tablet mounted to a "CD slot tablet holder". An idea from 5 years ago. This is the best idea you have Alpine? Man, what happened to you Alpine? You used to be beautiful.
900$ and the cheapest one ??? Are you fu*king kidding me.
For 350$ you can get the octa core PX5 with android 8.0 that f*cks this stereo up electronicaly in every possible way.
Looks cheesy period. 900 bucks yea ok no
For 900? No thanks 🤣
"$900" "least expensive" boi there's companies that make this for a third the price, I'll pick them
1st
Meh. Pass.
Vent blocking garbage...useless
