Terrible Alpine Product
By DeepCLongviewVerified Reviewer from Longview, WA on 5/13/2010
Pros:
Good Sound
Cons:
Bad NAV No iPhone 3G, Not iPhone 3G compatible
Bottom Line:

Comments about Alpine Alpine 2 DIN Mobile Multimedia Station:

I bought 4 of these. My work truck, my wife and 2 daughters' cars. Nothing but trouble from DAY ONE. I travel 3 to 5,000 miles a month. I use car navigation extensively. This NAV unit would send you the wrong way, the long way, and constantly locked up requiring turning off and on, or even having to turn truck off and on. If you add a stop to your NAV route system will freeze requiring re-start of car. Local audio store who installed this unit showed Alpine Rep how going to Washougal, WA from Longview, WA, approx 55 miles, would take you across the Columbia River into Oregon and out east on Hwy 84 to cross back over the river and head back west to Washougal. Over 100 miles. Both audio store and Alpine would not make good on this. From day one none of the 3 different Alpine navigation options would work correctly. And the W505 will not work w/ the new iPhone 3G. They came out w/ an adapter for the 3G but system would play a few songs then lock up. Terrible product.

Comments about Alpine Alpine 2 DIN Mobile Multimedia Station:

I purchased this mainly for the I-pod. Checked alpines web site for compatabilty with the Touch before purchase.the web site states it is,but had audio problems ie music cuts out now and then. but expereniced no problems with the nano 3rd gen. Call Alpine for compatabilty before you buy.
every thing eles works as expected and advertised.

Service & Delivery comments:

this was my first and not last purchase from Abt
they had everything in stock as advertised on their web site. My sales person was very helpful
and took the time getting all the things i needed to get the unit hooked up in my car. Shipped the same day, arived on time, Very impressed with this company.

Bottom Line:

Comments about Alpine Alpine 2 DIN Mobile Multimedia Station:

i installed this in our Mercedes SLK in place of the poor standard unit. Very nice. easy to use, nice display, even for middle-aged eyes, great iPod interface. Wan't too hard to install, although interfacing the foot-brake/park-brake signals to a CANbus car isn't too trivial.
