    Hi all..
    Sick and tired of the entune limitations.. including the useless navigation.
    I’m looking at this thing ...
    iLX-F309 from alpine.. and was wondering if any of you guys have it or have opinions on it?
    In my opinion the system is almost perfect.. is not perfect because is missing the wireless that alpine already put out in an older model..
    And for a long time I thought I wanted CarPlay... but finally realized.. CarPlay doesn’t give me google maps or Netflix..
    Since the system is so new.. info online looks like a copy and paste kind of thing..
    Hoping someone here is already using it and willing to share experiences with it.
    Also know that alpine is not what it used to be... nonexistent software updates.. laying on their laurels because they created their fame and went to sleep and people keep buying their products..
    But want can we say about Toyota..? And their entune 20 year old system..

    That’s the iLX-F309 that I’m asking about.

    It works like a damn sPod. You can control light bars/wenches/pods through the display. Pretty snazzy.

    It says it "hovers" in front of the dash. Not sure it would look totally OEM.

    Yeah check out the alpine link... it sits out from the dash-Fully adjustable to accommodate different dash layouts and to eliminate glare. It is BIG.
    Cons- no wireless CarPlay. (Just like OP mentioned)
    - eliminates stock aux connection.
    But.... it’s on my radar!

    I’m also interested in this unit and how it would look in out tacos. All I could find was this pic. Wish we could find side pic.

    if not this one, then maybe the Kenwood DDX series? Really dig those.
