What reviewers found
Synthesized across the trust-weighted source mix below.
Across the reviewers we read, the Alpine iLX-W670 is positioned as the step-up pick for buyers who want Alpine's sound-tuning pedigree with wired CarPlay and Android Auto in a shallow-chassis 6.75-inch package. Crutchfield's product page reviews are broadly positive on CarPlay rendering, map clarity, and overall sound quality, and r/CarPlay owners report the unit 'works great' after installation. The Amazon 4.4/333 rating lines up with that.
What reviewers liked
- Crutchfield reviewers praise CarPlay rendering and overall sound quality
- Alpine's sound-processing suite (EQ, time correction, sub control) singled out in expert and community sources

Where it falls short
- CarPlay and Android Auto are wired-only at a premium price
- A high-trust r/CarAV thread on the closely related iLX-W770 flags Bluetooth pairing and steering-wheel-control issues that recur on this generation
- Some r/CarAV owners report Park-sensor audio interruptions on Android Auto
- Resistive-feel touch response is rated below capacitive competitors by some reviewers
Across the reviewers we read, the Alpine iLX-W670 is positioned as the step-up pick for buyers who want Alpine's sound-tuning pedigree with wired CarPlay and Android Auto in a shallow-chassis 6.75-inch package. Crutchfield's product page reviews are broadly positive on CarPlay rendering, map clarity, and overall sound quality, and r/CarPlay owners report the unit 'works great' after installation. The Amazon 4.4/333 rating lines up with that.
What separates it from the cheaper picks is the sound-processing toolkit reviewers consistently call out — time correction, EQ, and a genuine pre-amp output that one YouTube tester measured for voltage. r/CarAV threads note this is the W650 replacement and treat it as a known-quantity premium option rather than a novelty.
The disagreements are honest ones. A high-trust r/CarAV thread on the sibling iLX-W770 documents Bluetooth-pairing regressions, steering-wheel-control disconnects, and Siri quirks, and that complaint pattern shows up on the W670 too. Reviewers also note CarPlay is wired-only, which is a real gap at the $300 price point.

Installed it and it works great. Only feature I dislike is the Park sensor pauses audio from Android Auto when engaging/disengaging transmission.
Pretty easy install, but it took some figuring out on my end for the speaker connections and then steering wheels controls.
