Made for iPod® / Works with iPhone®

It’s convenient to control your iPod or iPhone in the car – enjoy seamless operation of your iPod in addition to full control of all your favorite media sources. Control all search options of your iPod directly from the iLX-W650 via Playlist, Artist, Album, Song, Genre, Podcast or Composer. The USB connection allows for high-quality iPod / iPhone playback and delivers an even faster access speed so you’ll find songs as quickly as you expect to find them on your iPod / iPhone.

The iLX-W650 includes Android Auto and works with the Google Assistant (requires both a USB cable and Bluetooth® connection; requires an Android™ phone running 5.0 [Lollipop] or higher and the Android Auto app). To access the Google Assistant on Android Auto, say "OK Google" or select the mic button. Google Assistant in Android Auto allows users to play their favorite music, get driving directions to their destination, interact with smart home devices and reply to text messages – hands free.

Shallow Design

The iLX-W650's shallow chassis is only 2.4" deep, so it fits into vehicles that don't have a lot of depth behind the dashboard. This shallow design makes the iLX-W650 a perfect complement with the KTA-450 Power Pack Amplifier (Sold Separately). The amplifier measures just 7"W x 3.5" x 1.25"D and fits in the open space behind the iLX-W650 using the included bracket, creating the PowerStack design. The total combined depth of the iLX-W650, KTA-450, and mounting bracket is still less than the depth of a standar 2-DIN chassis. The KTA-450 features Alpine's exclusive amplifier technology, Dynamic Peak Power (DPP), which produces 400-Watts DPP without the bulk and hassle of a traditional amplifier.
