Alpine iLX-507 7″ Digital multimedia receiver
A fresh face for your double-DIN dash opening
Alpine’s iLX-507 digital multimedia receiver gives you trademark Alpine sound improvements and ease of use, just like its many predecessors have. What sets this radio apart is how great it looks, with a sweet high-resolution 7″ touchscreen that provides plenty of info along with colors and details that pop. What’s more, the iLX-507 works with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto™ in both wired and wireless configurations, so you can choose how connected you want your phone to be. Your double-DIN (4″ tall) dash opening deserves a new look, and this Alpine can fit the bill and fill the void perfectly.
High-resolution display
We live in an 8K world now, so there’s no reason your stereo’s screen can’t look a little better. Alpine gave this display a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels, so your album artwork and other information will be clear and focused. When you’re parked and checking out some video, the iLX-507 can act as a drive-in theater — just bring your own popcorn.
Take your entertainment on the road
Even without a disc player, the iLX-507 offers lots of ways to enjoy your media. Dual rear USB inputs let you attach your smartphone or a thumb drive with your favorite music or video files. The rear HDMI connection allows you to hook up to an optional CD/DVD or Blu-Ray player. An auxiliary input lets you bring in audio from another source, such as an old-school portable disc player.
Add some security
Rear-view camera owners will appreciate the included camera input and distance guidance display. It works with Alpine’s advanced HD dash cam/rear-view cam combo for all-over coverage of your vehicle. And if you’d like to add an additional camera, like Alpine’s optional HCE-C2100RD multi-view camera, you’ll need this 2-camera switcher (not included).
Works with both wired and wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay
The iLX-507’s compatible with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so you and your passengers can enjoy messaging, mapping, tune selection, and much more from your smartphone. Both platforms work with voice commands, which you can activate by speaking a keyword or pressing the dedicated “Voice” button on the stereo’s bezel. You can use either platform with your phone plugged in or wirelessly. Get more info at /ios/carplay and /auto.
Built-in Bluetooth®
The iLX-507 continues Alpine’s long relationship with Bluetooth connectivity. Use it to make or receive hands-free phone calls via your smartphone with the included microphone, or stream music from your phone with ease. You can also use the included microphone to activate voice commands for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Make your home screen more relatable
Along the bottom of the iLX-507’s bezel, you’ll find some helpful buttons, including a dedicated microphone button to activate voice controls for CarPlay and Android Auto. You can also customize your home screen with up to 3 pages of functions that you want to access — choose among 22 different offerings, including a clock and your various audio sources. You can even upload a photo from a thumb drive to serve as your wallpaper on the attractive 7″ display.
Radio options for sound and variety
HD Radio
The iLX-507 boasts excellent entertainment choices up and down the dial:
HD Radio™ reception: Enjoy crystal-clear sound quality from participating AM and FM stations, including FM that sounds almost as good as a CD. Plus, you’ll see station and song info on the screen.
Satellite radio compatibility: You can add SiriusXM programming to the receiver with an optional tuner and a subscription.
Got streaming?
When your smartphone is connected, this Alpine’s ready to roll with your favorite streaming services, including Tidal. Pull up playlists, albums, and more with ease, and check out the information on the iLX-507’s gorgeous display.
Big-time audio, too
The iLX-507’s not only a pretty face, it also boasts plenty of ways to keep your ears happy. You can use its many fingertip-friendly controls to set the EQ — this Alpine offers both Basic and Advanced tuning options, with 13-band parametric adjustments, time correction, and much more. And it works with lossless FLAC files to give you the thrilling digital media experience you crave. You’ll be sure to hear the results thanks to Alpine’s commitment to using high-quality audio components, such as a full-digital power integrated circuit and custom capacitors to keep the signal strong, clean, and free of noise.
Add a wireless volume knob
Our customers are often very loud and clear about how much they miss volume knobs on today’s stereos, especially the ones with touchscreens. Alpine’s RUX-H02 Halo wireless level controller (sold separately) lets you mount a convenient knob nearly anywhere you like, thanks to its Bluetooth connectivity. You can add a rotary volume knob and subwoofer level controller without running additional wires, for the ultimate mounting flexibility. Turn up the sound, the old-school way!
iDatalink Maestro lets you keep your factory extras
This Alpine offers compatibility you won’t find in many other aftermarket radios, thanks to the iDatalink Maestro module (not included). In a wide selection of vehicles, this module lets you keep factory features that you’d otherwise lose when you install a new radio. You’ll also be able to check out engine performance data and other vehicle data on the Alpine’s screen. Once you’ve identified your vehicle, you’ll see the iDatalink module offered on the way to your Shopping Cart if it’s compatible.
Bluetooth note: Use of this receiver’s Bluetooth features will depend upon your phone’s Bluetooth capabilities. Learn more in our article explaining Bluetooth profiles.
Smartphone note: If you’re going to use your iPod or smartphone with this receiver, be sure to check “Details” for compatibility information.

Alpine HCE-C1100 Backup camera — surface-mount
Alpine adds High Dynamic Range to the HCE-C1100 backup cam to give you its best picture yet. With HDR, you’ll see more detail whether you’re backing up in a bright parking lot at noon or a dark parking garage at midnight.
So small you’ll hardly notice it
Measuring about one cubic inch, this ice-cube-sized camera pairs stealthily with Alpine’s low-key KTX-C10LP license plate mounting kit to give you a 131º horizontal viewing angle on the world behind you. With a view this expansive and clear, you’ll dare to parallel park in spaces most people would avoid.
This camera is compatible with any in-dash receiver or front-mount screen with a composite video input.
Installing this camera yourself? Here’s what you should know.
What does it do? Unless otherwise noted, a backup camera is only intended for use in backing up your vehicle. (If you require a front-view or constant rear-view camera, check for that capability.)
What tools and supplies will I need? A panel tool, a wire cutter/stripper, a soldering iron, and a rosin-core solder with heat shrink tubing are recommended, along with whatever tools are needed to remove the radio from the dash.
How much wiring is required? Wiring instructions vary from camera to camera. Some cameras have power wiring that can only be connected near the radio. Others let you power the camera at compatible reverse lights. In all cases, the camera must be wired for power and ground, the camera’s video output must be connected to the radio/monitor, and the radio/monitor must be connected to a reverse trigger in your vehicle. Some radio replacement interfaces supply a reverse trigger wire for the radio — using that wire to power your camera will damage the interface.
Will the included video cable be long enough? You’ll need to route the camera’s video cable from its mounting location outside your vehicle into your vehicle’s cabin and all the way to the screen in the dash. This often requires drilling a small hole in your vehicle or filing some metal and or plastic. You’ll also need to estimate the length of cable needed to run from the camera to the dash, which will not be a straight shot. Each camera’s cable length is listed.
