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...

Hi everyone, Just an update to support people with the Alpine 9 & 11 head units. If you are experiencing connection issues with wireless CarPlay please update your head units' firmware. using the following link which has the firmware and instructions. CLICK ME PLEASE NOTE YOU DO NOT NEED TO DO...

So I'm going to take the plunge and buy the new version of the Halo 11 for my T6.1 to replace the standard unit "The iLX-F115D Alpine Halo 11 is the second generation of Alpine’s world-famous Halo product line, featuring a gigantic XXL 11-inch high-resolution WXGA touch-screen" etc. Is there...

I have just got hold of a Alpine iLX 705D and having a few issues wiring to my '65' plate T6. All steering controls work, FM radio and I fitted the usb retention kit which works great too. Where I need help is regarding the DAB and reverse sensors, firstly the DAB there are 3 connectors left in...

As the title suggests, this T6 Caravelle owner was left very underwhelmed with the Dedicated Vw Transporter audio upgrade, he was frustrated with losing the fader feature on the factory headunit, lack of dedicated bass control and the overall sound quality, lacked impact in the low end response...

Hello, I hope someone somewhere can help me! I am very new to car maintenance and it seems I have inadvertently killed my new car. We bought a 2016 T6 Caravelle a month or so ago. It had had a few modifications done to it, including a remap, a suspension upgrade, and an Alpine ILX-F903D head...

I am selling as was in my old van but purchased the Halo 11 for my T6. Full working order just needs factory reset. All wires are present too. Stereo £600 posted

Cant decide between these two, fitting in a 6.1, I think both will look nice and do exactly what they say on the tin KW quite old though! What do yous think?

Hello and happy new year has anyone fitted an Alpine Halo 11 to there T6 as I am going to upgrade to the current head unit and one of the options is the 11" screen over the 9" if so do they think the screen is too big or the right size thanks Liam

I was apprehensive about posting about my fitting experience to this Forum. What I see members doing is phenomenal. I am totally in awe. But there have been a couple of very small bits of advice that I've picked up that's been super-handy. If this post helps someone like me - a total rookie - to...

Saw these the other day... Think they look really cool. Anyone seen / heard them yet?

I've just installed a Focal amplifier and the 200mm Focal speakers with T6 mounting kit into my van. The good: 1. The tweeters are pretty nice. Much less fatiguing than the OEM ones. The bad: 1. The woofers are pretty poor. Very boomy and lose composure when turned up loud (I've used the...

Saw a reference to these on the 'What have you been doing' thread. They look awesome. Anyone tried them yet ? https://www.alpine.co.uk/p/Products/sound-systems-for-volkswagen/spc-108t6 Looking to be about £400 for the kit. There's a smaller 165mm door speak option available too.

Anyone else with a halo noticed the low quality of audio that this mic provides ? Most won’t notice as you don’t think about your voice sound in a call . However if you use voice memo app on your iPhone whilst Apple car play is running you will hear how low quality the microphone sound is ...

Just finished installing a Halo 9 to my T6. Almost everything including new reversing camera working fine but a couple of niggles. Thanks to other posts on this forum I located the previously unused factory GPS antenna connector in the driver side door. Connected with up with a female to female...

Hi, I have a shiny new Alpine ILX-F903 waiting to be fitted. I have the fascia adapter and USB retention sorted. However, I am a bit lost as to what interface/adapters I need to order. I have a Startline so no MFSW but its does have MFD-Plus so I would like to retain the audio info coming up...

Having fitted my Alpine X802D-U HU after it coming back from Alpine I now have this small issue. The Image below only shows when I am listening to Apple CarPlay, everything else such as Radio stations show correctly on the MFD. Anyone shed any light?
