Clients looking for the ultimate Apple CarPlay receiver for their vehicle should drop by Ralph’s Radio in Victoria or Vancouver and check out the Alpine iLX-107. This multimedia receiver is the first aftermarket unit with wireless CarPlay connectivity. Get in your car, start it up and your iPhone will connect automatically to provide communication, information and entertainment.
The Benefits of Apple CarPlay
Apple CarPlay is the best way to stay safe and productive while driving. Using the Siri voice recognition engine, CarPlay will let you listen to incoming text messages and dictate a response back, all while keeping your hands on the steering wheel and your eyes on the road. CarPlay can make phone calls just as easily. Say a phone number, ask for one of your contacts or let Siri search the Internet for the phone number of the business you want to call.
CarPlay can entertain you with any of the music on your phone, or by streaming audio from Spotify. You can enjoy podcasts and audiobooks just as easily.
CarPlay includes an advanced navigation system. Ask for an address or let Siri search by business name – Apple CarPlay will plan a quick and efficient route to your destination. Real-time traffic flow information is taken into account in major urban areas when calculating the route.
Vehicle Integration Options
The iLX-107 will fit in most vehicles that accept a 2-DIN source unit. An optional iDataLink Maestro integration module will display vehicle information and allow you to control the heating and air conditioning system in several applications. We can also integrate the radio with most factory steering wheel controls. The iLX-107 includes provisions for a backup camera to make parking and maneuvering your vehicle safer.
The optional KAC-001 accessory controller provides eight outputs to control lighting, winches, adjustable suspension systems and more, right from the screen of the radio. Each of the outputs can be set to momentary, latched or toggled states to work with almost any electronic control system.
Audio Features
The iLX-107 includes front, rear and subwoofer preamp outputs to allow us to add high-power amplifiers to your system. Crossovers, equalization and time alignment settings are adjustable from the radio, or by using the Alpine TuneIt app on your iPhone. Once perfected, listening to music in your vehicle will be like going to your favorite concert.
