Fingertip control over your iPod® or iPhone®

Fill your double-sized (4" tall) dash opening with a sharp, touchscreen display — Alpine's iXA-W407 digital media receiver looks great and handles all your digital music with ease. It won't play your CDs, but it's tailor-made for your iPod, iPhone, or almost any other digital source.

Easy navigation through your music files

Tap and slide your finger on the 7" screen to navigate your iPod menus — Alpine's handy Alphabet Search mode lets you blaze through your lists of artists, albums, or songs. The current song keeps playing, so you won't interrupt the music while you're searching. The convenient "Back" button lets you backtrack through the menus, instead of starting over from the top.

Play your other digital files, too

Plug a thumb drive full of your favourite MP3, WMA, and AAC files into the USB port, and you've got plenty of tunes for your next road trip. Or you can play another USB-equipped music player through the USB connection.


Built-in Bluetooth®

You can talk hands-free through your stereo system with a compatible phone. When a call comes in, the stereo mutes your music so you can listen to your caller through your vehicle's speakers. Mount the included microphone on your sun visor or dash for optimum sound quality. And you can even stream music if your phone or other device supports it.

More ways to add on

This versatile stereo works with all of Alpine's peripheral gear, including satellite radio, auxiliary input adapter, add-on USB input, or CD changer. Add an HD Radio™ tuner, and you can "tag" songs you hear on an HD Radio broadcast for purchasing later in iTunes™.

The iXA-W407 has no disc slot, but you can hook up Alpine's optional DVD changer to view movies while you're parked. You can add Alpine's NVE-M300 GPS navigation module to get preloaded maps of the U.S., Puerto Rico, and Canada, turning your iXA-W407 into a navigation receiver.


IMPRINT for an amplified system

Tuning kit

Three sets of preamp outputs simplify setting up a system with external amplifiers and subs, and you'll appreciate the ability to control the subwoofer's output level from the stereo. For the best possible sound quality, add Alpine's PXA-H100 IMPRINT sound processor and KTX-H100 tuning kit — the IMPRINT measures your car's acoustics and adjusts the stereo's settings automatically to create a perfect audio environment.

Bluetooth note: Bluetooth compatibility of this device may vary, depending on your phone and service provider.

iPod note: If you're going to use your iPod with this receiver, be sure to check Hands-on Research for specific iPod model compatibility with this receiver or its optional iPod adapter.

Solid Unit March-19-10
Reviewer: Fielden from San Diego, CA  
Installed it in an 05 G35, and it looks good. Could run a little "warm" at times. The controls are intuitive enough to easily navigate through most features  and pretty responsive. Screen is a dust magnet though. The audio EQ is surprisingly thorough giving me the option of even  controlling a rear sub.  

The install was not too bad, lots of wires to "clean up" to get a pro install  look.  Having problems downloading the extra backgrounds off the site, will look  more into this.  Bluetooth works great with MyTouch !! Ipod interface is good with the 30 GB 1st gen video Be sure to know what you want because if you just want what comes in the  box you might get a better deal on another HU. I think part of the price is  for expandability.  

Overall, Im satisfied... You should be as well.  Oh yeah and if you don't want to have to "tap dance" to access all options  just buy the bypass by PAC. I did and it worked great.


 
great for iphone November-15-09
Reviewer: Dan from colorado  
Firstly,  I installed this with the ktp-445 power pack that Crutchfield recommends,  when I called people with they complained about an echo.  I just took out the power pack and the bluetooth works much better (and I can't hear a difference in the sound quality!).  

Positives:  
It is easy to navigate through playlists on my iphone
The menus make sense and it is easy to find things
The parking brake on - foot brake - parking brake thing to get to settings is OK after the first day  

Negatives:  
It isn't great at going through lots of artists - if you hit the back button it can get very slow at updating the screen
In the month I have used it, it did crash once and I needed to turn the car on and off to get it to come back  

Other thoughts:  
The iphone jumps to streaming bluetooth when the bluetooth connects.  This is _really_ irritating but is a phone problem.  When you plug in the iphone it starts playing though the usb/dock.  About 5 seconds later as bluetooth connects .... no sound .... you have to go to the ipod screen on the phone to switch it back to dock connector.  

When you install it you do need to install the wires to the footbrake and parking brake or you won't be able to do the little dance to get to the settings menu.


 
Great unit October-31-09
Reviewer: Anonymous person from Columbus, Ohio  
Bought this for my 2010 Tacoma.  Fits well and looks great and contrary to what is mentioned in the description it does not have a flip down face.   It also does not have the rotary encoder. Make sure you read the owners manual on the CD or online. Optional navigation works well as does the I-Pod interface. It does have a couple of quirks 1) no matter what time zone or time I set the clock for, it would end up being one hour slow of the actual current time (I just turned off the clock) 2) I-Pod album artwork is fuzzy using I-Pod touch 2nd generation, but fine on my older I-Pod w/video. Sound quality is great using JL amps and sub w/MB Quart separates. Overall I am very satisfied and it compares very well with the  Kenwood DDX812 in my wife's car. I highly recommend this unit if you do not care about having an in dash CD. It has a bunch of great features and is expandable enough to fit most peoples needs.
