Alpine ILX-F511. Game Changer

What are you running in your truck now?

 

The hot mess that is factory JBL entune…

stereo in this truck is a uber low priority, that is what the daily driver is for…

 

Huh? You lost me, haha!

 

OMG. If you can get to Bestbuy soon, Do it. They lowered the price again and they will price match guarantee for 2 weeks from your purchase date. The head is now $350!!!. Don't know how to send you a picture, but it is true!! Please beleive.
I am buying another while I can. Good luck All.

 

Here’s my receipt from yesterday! 350!!!

 

Also everyone notice that I purchased the 4-year warranty for 50 bucks. If you look closely at the receipt, it’s only 50 b/c the price of the head unit is between 350 and 400. So the deck is cheap the install is free, and now the warranty is at a discount

 

That's crazy. Hopefully they still price protect for 30 or 60 days.

 

I was afraid they wouldn’t last so I grabbed it now. But see my other comments above and you’ll see that some other stereos many like on here, esp the

$1,499 DMX1037S 10.1" High Definition Car Stereo Receiver with Capacitive Touch Panel

DMX1037S, are also on sale. This was my holy grail but the two other options I saw would’ve been great, too

 

Yeah, I saw you posted that yesterday. I like the Kenwoods better, personally, but only the Excelon series.

 

@Azblue @FrenchToasty - You guys should check back with Best Buy, because $350 is crazy, crazy.

 

@BillyB you think the deal is still going on? Will head over today if so. Read somewhere on this post someone got shot down when they went to purchase

 

I’m planning on stopping in to one of the stores near me to get price matched and maybe pick up a spare lol. I’ll let you know if I do and how it looks

 

You guys are like sharks when there's blood in the water.

Do I need this?

 

Yeah, let me know. I was going to call, I'm stuck working until Tuesday.

 

He just bought it yesterday for $350, but the only way is to stop into a Best Buy and see. Yes, someone was told the deal was no longer going on. But, maybe that store was being lazy.

 

If you do make it into the store and remember, can you price check the Alpine
X409-WRA-JL ?

 

I’ll let you know

 

I appreciate it. If they are on sale, I will grab one for the wife's Wrangler for Christmas.

 

Sell me.

What does it do that my stock unit does not?
Can my kids watch a movie on long trips?
Will it work with the FRAC?

I saw a few other needed pieces. I'm a self-install guy.
I saw @ToyoMafia did his own install.
On a scale of 1-5, how many bananas is this job?

 

Luckily our BB is next to target..

Mentioned the magic T word 15 minutes ago and I’m already loading the kids in the car. Hopefully will be as easy as dropping the “better half” at the front door and proceeding on to BB

 

My kids watch movies on my current kenwood so I assume the alpine can do it also. Have it wired up to a firestick so Netflix, subday football, you name it. iPad with wifi usually stays in the truck for hotspot purposes (can use phone or pipe dream starlink if you got it)

 

It’s a 3-4 in terms of install. If you have zero experience with car audio just pay a good shop to install with the money you save.

features
Wireless carplay
4v rca output
Hdmi in and out
Retains all features if installed correctly
Frac will work

 

Heading to BB now

 

Good luck. After talking myself out of it a 350 price had me calling my son and seeing if he could run by one.

 

Customer support on the phone price match was of no help. She said I needed to try in store.

 

This would’ve been a great fireside chat. Lol

but here is a great article…

It definitely would have.

I will give that a read. I appreciate it.
