All of the new models are not out yet, but I will update this thread as they are released and I have them in stock. Alpine has a killer double DIN lineup this year... starting out around $189!

I don't really sell the Alpine amplifiers anymore. I have fallen in love with the ARC Audio amplifiers. Their new XDi amplifiers are just amazing for the price... and even smaller than a PDX. Would you like a price on an ARC XDi804?

khmer1 · 03-24-2012, 09:02 PM

i might want the last on list but im assuming you will have to get a subscription for siriusxm right shipped to 43206 oh

SnakeKack · 03-24-2012, 11:32 PM

I have a seriously outdated sony head unit that came with my car and been wanting to upgrade. I really like the models that have the hands free calling bluetooth. Do they come with microphones or do you talk through your phone's mic?

And probably stupid question but I noticed you really dig Alpine and I never experienced one, what is it about them that makes them better than others like Pioneer, Kenwood, Clarion etc?

DanielS14 · 03-25-2012, 01:17 AM

could you get ahold of any doubledins broadfield??

speedgod^s13 · 03-25-2012, 03:14 AM

I really hope, that Alpine steps up their double din game this year. I've already got a pdx sub, and 5 channel amp. Wouldn't mind running all Alpine. I'll have to hit you up for a package deal for a double din, separates, and sub(s).

WhipsGoneWild.net · 03-25-2012, 09:27 AM

i love alpine but every time i get new one they come out with new model lol ill never get anything else!

The 138 does not do SAT radio out of the box... you would need to add the $69 tuner. Obviously if you do not do the tuner then you won't need a SiriusXM subscription. Even if you have the tuner hooked up you don't need the subscription... you just won't get any channels until you subscribe.

Yes, all BT Alpines come with a nice MIC that I recommend clipping to the headliner up by the rear view mirror.

Let me first start off by saying that I have carried every decent brand of head unit over the last 20 years: Alpine, Rockford, Denon, Clarion, Clarion Pro Audio, Sony, Sony ES, Eclipse, Pioneer, Pioneer Elite, JVC, Nakamichi, Kenwood, Kenwood Excelon etc... and Alpine is the only one that I have carried the entire 20 years. Alpine is the only upper tier head unit left on the market. Is Kenwood, Pioneer, Sony nice? Sure, but Alpine is just a notch above them. Quality is a little better, performance is a little better, they have the best Ipod control(they invented it for car audio), they easily have the best user interface... especially on double DIN's. I have installed on over 25,000 vehicles and I still struggle to find certain settings in Pioneers and Kenwoods.... it shouldn't be that damn difficult. You can pick up an Alpine for the first time and easily find any setting you want. Very common sense and there's no weird menus buried within other crap. Hell on Pioneer you can only access certain menus starting with the radio being off... DUMB!

The W910 was a killer piece last year, but not everyone wants NAV etc. So Alpine will be releasing double DINs without a screen, with a screen and no NAV, with NAV and even an 8" screen. They will have a unit at the following retail price points: $199, $449, $699, $999 and $1499.

2 x Alpine CDE-121 to 77477?

Quick question, does it have a 3.5mm jack in the back of the unit?

It would be $209 shipped for two of them. It does not, the 1/8" jack and USB are both on the front.

Hmm..maybe you can help me out with something, I'll send you a PM.

can i still use my old alpine cd changer with these? or i need to get an adapter of some sort?

Broadfield · 03-25-2012, 04:47 PM

Assuming you have an AiNet changer, then it will only work with a unit that has an "A" in the model #.... so none of the ones I have listed. There is no way to get it to work either. They have not made changers for several years so there simply isn't support for it anymore.

Enna · 03-25-2012, 05:27 PM

They all have a USB port and 3.5mm input jack on the front? Sigh, I miss the old cleaner styled headunits. Hopefully with some of the other models yet to be released that there will be some without those ports on the front. Really takes away from a clean headunit overall.

Yeah, but that's what 95% of consumers have been clamoring for. You have to make what people will buy. I have posted all of the single DIN units... there are no more coming out. There will be five double DIN units coming out in June. Only the one without the screen will have the USB and 1/8" jack on the front. The other four will have a USB on the rear... no 1/8" jack. But since it's a screen it will have a full composite audio/video input that you can make into an 1/8".

Alpine CDE-W235BT M.A.P. $199

Alpine IVE-W530 M.A.P. $449
No pics yet worth posting

Alpine IVE-W535HD M.A.P. $699

Alpine INE-S920HD M.A.P. $999

Alpine 8" INE-Z928HD M.A.P. $1499

This is a little off-topic, but are you also a Pioneer dealer? If so, how does the Pioneer Z140BH stack up to Alpine's flagship unit?

Jaescrub · 03-25-2012, 10:31 PM

True on the iPod control I have an older iDA head unit and love it. It great my iPod sits in my center console and I don't see or touch it till I leave the car no fumbling around with CDs or crazy small menus. I would Post a pic but tap a talk works like Sh¡t on here.

I can't stand Pioneer double DIN's, but that may just be me... so no, I'm not a Pioneer dealer. I only sell Alpine as far as head units go.

They do for placing calls via BT, but I'm not sure for navigation commands. Alpine has had NAV voice commands in the past, but not for the last few years.... it's just not a popular feature among consumers. So we'll see once the new units are released, but I doubt it will have NAV voice commands.

Thanks for the info. Too bad Alpine didn't implement voice controls, like how Pioneer does. Where you can tell the unit what song to play, search for POI's, etc. Pretty convenient. I'll just have to wait, on these Alpine's to be released, to get actual specs.

Broadfield · 03-27-2012, 11:54 PM

Have you used a Pioneer or Sync system with voice activated commands for searching for music files etc.?

Not for searching music files. On my AVIC Z3, I do use it to find POI's, addresses, etc. It's not perfect, but it's better than having to manually punch in, whatever information you are seeking, while driving. After looking at the manual just now, I found out, that I can also search for playlists, and specific music tracks too. I'll give that a try today, and see how well it does.

Really interested in the Alpine INE-S920HD. Do you know when they are set to release? Will there be a discount for being a zilvia forum member?

All double DIN's are set to be released in June... that's the only info I have so far. As far as pricing, whatever I sell it for on here is obviously the Zilvia pricing/discount. Which will probably be somewhere between $799-$899 shipped.
