Alpine has debuted its latest CarPlay receiver at CES that features a massive screen as large as an iPad Pro. The new Alpine Halo 11 iLX-F411 features 49% more real estate with its capacitive touch screen than the 9-inch Halo.
Alpine has also debuted the first weather-resistant 9-inch CarPlay receiver designed for the recent Jeep Wrangler and Jeep Gladiator models.
Alpine Halo 11 CarPlay Receiver
Alpine detailed the all-new giant 11-inch CarPlay and Android Auto receiver at CES in a press release.
Through extensive industry research, the iLX-F411 includes all the features needed to command an exciting drive and is an ideal upgrade for the active weekender or everyday commuter. The increased screen size allows for safe navigation and easy control of music, text messages and phone calls through Apple CarPlay® or Android Auto™.
I/O on the Halo 11 iLX-F411 includes USB, AUX, HDMI, as well as a universal rear camera input that can be used with the company’s KCX-C250MC multi-camera selector. As for more specifics on what type of CarPlay, no mention of it being wireless so it’s going to be wired CarPlay support.
Alpine also shared some details on installation:
The iLX-F411 follows the same flexible installation fitment as its 9-inch predecessor with an adjustable mount and four screen angle adjustments, five screen height adjustments and two screen depth adjustments for optimized viewing.
The 1-DIN chassis and adjustable installation options make it easy to add the iLX-F411 to a variety of applications without blocking factory buttons or features on the dash and avoiding the need for custom installation.
The new 11-inch CarPlay-enabled Alpine Halo 11 iLX-F411 will launch in June this summer and sell for $1,200 direct through Alpine, from authorized dealers, and Crutchfield.
