Default Alpine ILX-107
Anyone out there using this Alpine instead of the Sony AV-5000?
A bit pricier but some better specs including wireless apple CarPlay

Look at the ILX 207 as well. I have one on the work bench I'm gonna toss in there and will let u know after I get some miles on it.

Find ur personal riding & audio needs and compare the two. The 207 just seemed to be a much better fit for my goals.

I didn’t think the ILX-207 had wireless Apple CarPlay does it?
My phones doesn’t fit in the glove box so I leave it plugged in inside the tour pac.
definitely interested to hear your thoughts on it. Biketronics will do them in a complete kit as well.

Crutch has a good side by side comparison.

The deciding factors for me were Bluetooth, IPods that are comparable vs none, 4V vs 2, and a few others.

I saw the rca output was low but I did not see the lack of Bluetooth! It uses 5g wifi but why wouldn’t they use both? Anyway let me know how the 207 works out!

Maybe l missed something but isn't the physical configuration of that radio opposite of what it needs to be to fit a Rushmore bike?

Yes it is. But biketronics reconfigures them to fit. I guess they do some additional water resisting to them as well.
