The new receiver is designed to be a simple, sound system builder
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (Jan. 14, 2021) – Alpine Electronics of America, Inc. introduces the new iLX-407 Shallow Chassis 7-inch Multimedia Receiver with PowerStack™ capabilities.
“Following the success of the tremendously popular iLX-W650, we sought to create a solution that captured everything the customer loved about the iLX-W650, with even more features,” said Mike Anderson, Vice President and General Manager, Brand Business Unit, Alpine Electronics of America, Inc. “The features, along with the price point, will solidify the iLX-407 as one of the most impactful audio upgrades on the market.”
New Technology
The iLX-407 is the next evolution of the customer-favorite iLX-W650 Shallow Chassis Multimedia Receiver, with added features like HD Radio®, three customizable home screens, media expandability with HDMI connectivity, and iDatalink® Maestro Module compatibility.
Other features like Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, and built-in Bluetooth® hands-free calling with audio streaming allows access to music, messages, phone calls, and maps on a smartphone via USB or smartphone connection. These features are controlled through touch or voice commands with the included external microphone. SiriusXM® Radio is available with an optional tuner and paid subscription for even more music and entertainment during the drive.
System Compatibility
Upgrading dash technology can often result in a loss of factory functionality such as steering wheel controls and access to engine codes. However, the iLX-407 is compatible with the iDatalink® Maestro Module (sold separately) allowing select OEM features to be retained and vehicle information displayed on the 7-inch screen.
Two RCA inputs are included for rear, side, or front cameras (sold separately). When in use, the rear camera overlays guidelines onto the screen for ease when moving in reverse. Additional cameras can be added with the KCX-C2600B Universal Front and Rear Camera Selector (sold separately).
While the iLX-407 is mech-less (no CD/DVD player) an HDMI input is included so you can connect a CD, DVD player, or even your smartphone for an all-digital audio and video connection through a single cable.
Simple System Building
The iLX-407 is PowerStack™ capable and designed to be a simple, sound system builder for those who may be new to aftermarket car audio. The iLX-407, paired with the KTA-200M Mono Power Pack Amplifier, provides an easy way to add amplification for a subwoofer, like the S-SB10V 10-inch Alpine Halo S-Series Preloaded Subwoofer Enclosure.
With a required power range of 250W – 600W RMS, the S-SB10V can produce clean, powerful bass when driven from the iLX-407 and a 200W KTA-200M PowerStack™ Amplifier, thanks to the KTA-200M’s Dynamic Peak Power, which effectively produces 400W during power-hungry music passages.
The iLX-407 will ship in May 2021 at a MAP of $399.95 and will be available at Alpine Authorized retailers and Preferred Online Stores. Installation options can be found on the Alpine-USA website through the store locator.
