Alpine ILX-F511 Halo11 11″ Touchscreen Digital Multimedia Receiver

The Alpine Halo display is taken to new heights with the ILX-F511 next-generation dash technology, which includes even more capabilities that maximise the possibilities of music listening.

The Alpine ILX-F511 Halo11 receiver has an 11-inch floating touch display that fits in most single-DIN dash openings and has plenty of adjustment to ensure a good viewing angle and access to your climate controls. Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and built-in Bluetooth hands-free are all available on the Halo11, allowing wireless or wired access to music, messages, phone calls, and directions on a smartphone. Add SiriusXM for even more entertainment options (tuner and subscription sold separately). You’ll get excellent smartphone integration as well as compatibility with the iDatalink Maestro module, allowing you to preserve your factory settings.

11″ screen with a 2″ chassis

The iLX-F511 is made up of two parts: a 2-inch tall chassis and an 11-inch floating touchscreen display. As there is no disc player, the chassis should fit in most single-DIN dash openings, and mounting depth shouldn’t be an issue in most vehicles. After installing the chassis in your dash opening, you can pick from five different vertical mounting positions and two different screen depths, providing you the freedom to position the radio without blocking important dash temperature controls. Alpine built the radio to work in typical in-vehicle temperatures, even if your vents are partially closed.

You optimized view

You can change the screen viewing angle up to 45 degrees forward or 20 degrees backward once you’ve selected the ideal vertical position for the display. This lets you to accommodate angled dashes or simply get a better view of the display on your iLX-F511. A pressure-tilt mechanism allows you a lot of versatility when it comes to selecting the ideal place. Four screws secure the display in place after you’ve picked the optimal positions.

Customizable home screen

Some useful buttons can be found around the bottom of the iLX-F511’s bezel,  including a dedicated microphone button for activating voice controls for CarPlay and Android Auto. You can also personalize your home screen with up to three pages of functions you want to access – choose from 22 options, including a clock and audio sources. You may also use a thumb drive to upload a photo to use as your background on the large 9″ display.

Full clarity display

We now live in an 8K world, therefore there’s no reason why the screen on your radio can’t be improved. Alpine chose a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels for this device, ensuring that your album artwork and other information are crisp and clear. The iLX-F511 can be used as a drive-in theatre once you’re parked and watching a movie – just bring your own popcorn.

The iLX-F511 offers a variety of ways to enjoy your media even without a disc player.  Dual rear USB inputs let you attach your smartphone or a thumb drive with your favorite music or video files.  You can attach an optional CD/DVD or Blu-Ray player to the back HDMI port. Auxiliary inputs allow you to plug in audio from a separate devices, such as an old portable disc player.
