Overview
An Alpine digital multimedia receiver with CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, sold bundled with a steering wheel control (SWC) adapter so factory steering wheel audio buttons keep working after the swap.
The bundled SWC adapter is what separates this listing from a bare receiver: without it, a factory steering wheel's volume and track buttons would stop working once the OEM stereo is replaced. Screen size, mounting depth and whether CarPlay and Android Auto run wired or wirelessly are not specified in the listing.
- CarPlay and Android Auto compatible receiver
- Bundled steering wheel control adapter
- Alpine digital multimedia receiver
- Simplifies factory stereo replacement
Who it's for
Fits someone replacing a factory stereo who wants to keep steering wheel audio controls working without a separate adapter purchase. Not the right listing for someone who already owns a compatible SWC adapter, since they would be paying for a duplicate.
Pros and cons
- SWC adapter included, so steering wheel controls keep working
- CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility
- Alpine build quality reputation
- Screen size and mounting depth not specified
- Wired versus wireless CarPlay not confirmed in the listing
Performance notes
The SWC adapter translates the vehicle's factory steering wheel button signals into commands the new Alpine receiver can read, so volume, track and answer or end call buttons keep working through the aftermarket unit instead of going dead after the swap.
