Question for Alpine gurus. I’ve currently got an Alpine x801d-u headunit and I’m looking to install an Alpine x803d-u headunit. Will it be a simple swap? Do I need another wiring kit?

Hello, I am installing a new headunit Alpine LX-f115d and I want to retein the SOS e-call. I have ordered the retention kit (it is out of stock for the moment) However I was wondering once the kit arrives, I would to know where it needs to be installed. As I am removing the dash panels...

I’m looking for an Alpine F905 if anyone’s bought one and having second thoughts

Hi, I’m looking to upgrade my Alpine x801 to an F905 Halo 9. Would this be a fairly straight forward swap? Would the existing cables transfer to the halo or do I need to strip them out? Thanks!

Hi all, I installed a Halo 9 in my T6 today. The amp only picks up sound if the RCA’s are connected to the “front speaker out” RCA’s and nothing when connected to the “Sub Out” RCA’s. Thing is I want to LPF the front speakers so the Sub handles most the bass. Any ideas why the Sub Outs wouldn’t...

Hi guys I've got an Alpine Halo 11 and I have just got round to installing a Fire stick into it. I cannot get the picture on the screen as it says its turned off for my safety. I guess it's the parking brake wire. I've traced the yellow and blue wire from the back of the head unit this goes...

I have had an Alpine Halo 9 in my van for a couple of years, I have updated the firmware in it about 6 months ago whilst diagnosing a connectivity issue that turned out to be the cable I was using to retain the existing USB input. Since updating the unit the call volume seems to have got stuck...

Up for sale my long wheelbase Volkswagen Transporter T6. Runs very smoothly sad to be getting rid of it. There's a minor bit of rust on the lower side panel (shown in pictures), it's easily touch-upable. The last full service was done in November, and new tires were fitted in January. I'll dig...

Hi, new to the forum and looking for a bit of insights into the differences between the Apline X803D-T6R and the Alpine X803D-U. The Apline web site is slim on details and why one would be a better choice than the other, although the prics difference is significant. Does anyone have any...

Hi - I bought an Alpine halo 903d and included with it was the quad lock and can bus supposedly for a T6 here in France. My question is the speed sensor wire and to some extent the connect2 interface plug, as there seems to be nothing that it actually connects too. I searched the existing...

I am selling the tweeters and mid range door speakers from Alpine SPC-106T61 these items are virtually new, only been installed in the van for approx 6 weeks, these are a lovely upgrade from the OEM tweeters and speakers. ******PLEASE READ******the tweeter cases that come with the kit to install...

I’m looking for an Alpine X803D-U to upgrade from my X801D-U. Thanks!

Hi, I've installed the Alpine SPS-106T61 speaker kit and have been running it for a good few months now. Whilst doing the install I also sound deadened the doors and inside of the cards (see pics below). However I'm finding that the treble is really bright and I have to dial down the equaliser...

Hi all just bagged myself what I think is a good deal via ebay on the T6 alpine speakers (6.5”). This seller also has the bigger ones and the T6.1 I think...

Hi, im fitting the alpine Halo 11 to my T6 highline, the quad lock for the van has a green and blue block that don't seem to connecting anything. Are they needed?

Hi, I'm selling my Alpine Halo9 ilx-f903d head unit as I've upgraded to the newer f905d. As it was pretty much a straight swap I have all the cables from the new headunit to include minus the camera/aux cable so you'd need a new one of these, I think they're about £15 on eBay. You will also...

I've recently bought a van and the previous owner had changed the original VW Discovery head unit to an Alpine Halo iLX-F903D. Which to be honest I'm not that impressed with for several reason. He also upgraded the front speakers and fitted a sub under the seat, but to be honest I don't think...

Had a halo 9 fitted for 3 or 4 years in my T6. Went to start the van up today for the first time in a couple of weeks and no power showing on the head unit at all, it looks to be completely dead. Most everything else seems ok except for the USB point above the glove box that I use to connect my...

Hi all. Purchased the Alpine ILX -905DT6 and ready to install. I want to upgrade the speakers too and have decided on Alpine SPC10_T6’s. Now then, my question, do I go for the 106’s or the 108’s? I‘ve done some research at my knowledge level and have read that the 106’s would sound great with...

I am finally getting round to installing my head unit, I thought it would be nice to keep the standard USB in the dash so bought one of these to connect the head unit USB to the VW 4 pin connector...
