Alpine Halo9 iLX-F309TND?

Anyone have this in a 2020?

 

What’s the benefit of getting everything separate and having the unlocked Maestro versus getting the all in one kit with the locked Maestro? What’s the difference and what would the locked Maestro prohibit you from doing? Stereo stuff is like another language to me so I’m leaning towards the all in one kit.

 

I'm not sure which features are locked down by the TND version, but recommend calling Alpine and asking.

For me, I like saving a few bucks and am one of those guys that enjoys doing the technical things that I can do myself. There is much more that I can't do. Right now Amazon is charging $900 for the Halo9-F309 and about $200 for the remaining parts. They are changing $1500 fort the ready to install TND. Below is a copy of all parts necessary to install as I ordered them from Amazon. I didn't order the satellite radio antenna, as I don't use it. That would be another $50 or $60. and

 

Crutchfield has the TND version right now Open Box not used for $1200. If that were still an option when I were going to purchase I would probably go that route.

 

Was that from eBay?

 

There was one on their website. I haven’t looked to see if there is one on eBay.

 

What’s the difference in the 259 vs 309

 

does this system have a stand alone GPS, looked everywhere and can't seem to get the answer. i see it has an GPS adapter but it says nothing about without your phone having built in GPS. Can anyone with one answer this, thanks.

 

There is no built in navigation in this unit.

 

GPS is for compass only no nav or moving map option.

 

Has anyone figured out how to have a front camera in addition to the rear without buying the 300 dollar alpine adapter and proprietary cameras?

 

I had concerns about lack of built-in navigation and travel through some pretty remote areas. Waze has worked better than any built-in navigation system that I have ever used. I've had system 6 months now, and love it.

Isnt this only for the oem radio wire harness?
Edit, nevermind he mentions aftermarket as well. I always thought it was for entune factory head units only. Guess not....

 

Question Guys!!!
I've had this unit installed for just over a year and for the life of me can't get the auto dim function to work properly. I sent the unit back to Alpine and they sent me a new one.....and I still can't get it to work.
Anyone else have issues with this feature??
