Alpine ILX950 install on my 2019 TRD Pro

Going from BMW M240i to Tacoma was a bit of a techie shock.
The Alpine head unit looks amazing and is very intuitive.
Resolution is acceptable.

 

I like it.

 

Very nice, I've been contemplating if I should replace my headunit with this too.

 

Looks very nice OP! Can you mirror you phone to the head unit?

 

Most definitely !

 

Any chance you have a shot from the side so I can see the gap between the unit and dash?

 

Does that thing plug in to your obd2? I'm assuming it has to for gauge output ? Looks slick man.

 

Same here, but i dont know what would my dealer say if i come in for change oil lol. Also, that headunit looks similar with Halo9

 

Very nice OP... How difficult is to install one of those units?

 

Besides carplay, what else can this do? Can you surf the net?, watch movies? Stream youtube ir netflix?

 

It does not connect to OBD port. It comes with Maestro RR with takes all the info from the vehicle much like the OBD would.
It also has a HDMI input so i can watch Netflix, etc. off my phone. I replaced cigarette lighter port to support HDMI/usb. And yes you can mirror your phone.

 

Looks awesome! Have you done any spirited or offroad driving with it? I’d be concerned with shaking/rattling if you can comment on that?

 

doesn't look off-road friendly. can't imagine that thing taking big impacts when landing on sliders or skids during hard trails. hopefully, I'm wrong

 

Haven’t yet.
I have an off- road trip planned weekend of 1/4/2020.
Stay tuned.......

 

The Maestro RR plugs into the OBD2 port. I installed one in my last Taco

 

I'm doing a similar install with a Kenwood unit. I think I may want to replace the cigarette lighter with an HDMI/Aux adapter like you have done. Can you tell me how you wired it? I know the HDMI cable will plug into the back of my HU, but because the USB port will go to the one that also has the Aux port (the one with the cover), how do I get the USB port that comes with the HDMI to work? Thanks!

 

You also went from something not so reliable to something way more reliable!
