Alpine Halo9 iLX-F309TND?

Hello everyone, just wondering if anyone has installed one of these Alpine Halo9 head units in a gen 3 Tundra. I would like to hear likes and dislikes (besides the almost $1400 price tag!)

 

I think the main dislike for most folks with the Halo 9 is that the screen has the same (low) resolution as other 6-7" head units

 

I've been looking at the Halo9 also. James at tech12volts.com quoted me 1199 for everything needed for installation. I've seen the unit itself for 750 new on eBay .

I have heard that it doesn't go bright enough when the sun is on it and can develop a slow initial load time . I'd like to see Alpine release a higher resolution one for the money .

 

Just picked one up used for 575 couldent pass that up ill let you know how i like it once i get it in

 

the resolution sucks for such a big screen.

 

Makes me almost just want to slap a 10" tablet on there LOL.

 

for $500 I think its fine but for $1K no way

 

definitely, i'd buy it for $5 large too.

 

Interested in hearing what you think. Are you doing the install?

 

No its got too much stuf going on im gona get the maestro and the 12 volt accessory controller then let best buy figure it out i found this new program from them for 200 a year they will install a bunch of stuf for free and do tech support on stuf to its a sweet deal i think

 

Good unit if u only want it for the Audio part, besides that TONS of available add ons BUT they all require separate modules so that of course means more money. Also no cd slot was a no go for me wich probably isn’t a deal breaker for a lot of ppl now in days. Picture quality Isn’t what u think it would be for that big old screen. The unit does look bad ass tho when installed

I have the Halo and LOVE it. Resolution a none issue. Don't even notice it.

 

Yup I have it installed now and I love it watched a few vids on there to and the picture is great sound is great to tons of settings and a nice eq app fer your phone

 

post pics installed

 

Dam that looks sick. Can the unit move up and down?

 

Yup fully adjustable heres another pic from POV it's in the perfect spot for me and keeps the small storage spot under it accessible

 

just installed in my '17 1794, are you able to see your TPMS? i did install the maestro RR and the Maestro TO2 and can see a ton of info but no TPMS

 

All sensors work for me only thing missing is the turn by turn in dash display eaven tells me the individual tire temperature

 

what year is your truck? I've noticed on the 18s and up it seems to work natively

 

how did you change the background and get the tabs at the bottom of the screen?

 

2019 what does it look like when you go to vehicle info screen on the alpine ? That's when my phone is plugged into hdmi and in DeX mode (laptop mode) it's just the background pic on my DeX home screen

 

shows n/a for all 4 tires. All the other stuff works (speed, rpm, temps, etc) and vehicle info screen shows when my doors are open.

 

Humm weird I would call idatalink and talk to there tek maybe you need a different version flashed on the module

 

How about when you look on the dash display is it on there ?

 

models before 2018 didn't show it on the cluster display

 

Ya no idea did you call idatalink?

 

Yep they gave me a couple things to do. Apparently on the higher end model trucks there's a mod that has to he done on the maestro harness. I'll try it this weekend when I get some time. Thanks for the help. I'll post up once I figure it out.

 

Ok sounds good they should be able to talk you through it if need be
