Alpine iLX-F259 Mechless Receiver

The Alpine iLX-F259 Mechless Receiver provides a way for the owner of a vehicle with a 1-DIN dash to have a really big screen without a lot of cutting and custom work. Experts at Audio Express / Quality Auto Sound are celebrating this addition to the “Halo9” lineup. This is an AM/FM/digital media receiver with a 9-inch WVGA touch screen and mech-less design, which means there is no CD/DVD slot. It is designed to “hover” over the vehicle’s dashboard, allowing installation in a variety of vehicles without the need for custom work. An adjustable mount, connected to a traditional 1-DIN chassis allows the screen to be tilted at four pre-set angle points to better match the tilt and height of the dashboard. The iLX-F259 can be positioned to adjust for the distance and height of the dash and to avoid buttons or features on the dash. Once the positions are determined, the screen and mount are fixed to the chassis for a rigid fit and finish.  A customizable user interface uses swipe and drag-and-drop motions. Widgets for clocks, Bluetooth functions and audio sources can be easily dragged-and-dropped to make up to three custom home screens. Users can personalize the backgrounds using their own photos or choose from several pre-loaded patterns. Smartphone owners will love its compatibility with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto with Google Assistant. It features Bluetooth wireless technology with audio streaming and is SiriusXM-ready. External sources can be connected via the USB port or AUX input. One universal rear camera input is available, but additional cameras can be added with the optional Multi-Camera Selector. If your dash has been begging for a new look, it’s time to get into Audio Express / Quality Auto Sound.  Make a point of checking out all the features on the Alpine iLX-F259 Mechless Receiver.
