Alpine ILX-W670-M

In this alpine ilx-w670-m review, the Alpine iLX-W670-M is the best double din CarPlay stereo with a backup camera in the box, ranking fourth of nine in our 2026 guide. It combines a 7-inch digital multimedia receiver, wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Maestro vehicle integration, and a rear-view camera for $339.95. Alpine rates it 4.4 out of 5 stars from 26 Amazon ratings, the highest score in the guide, though that sample is small. Buyers who want to order a head unit and camera together, then install everything once, get the most from this bundle.

The 6.75-inch touchscreen is the daily interface, and it supports a customizable home screen plus five selectable key illumination colors. In practice, the 2.4-inch deep chassis is the number that matters, because it slides into dashboards where a full-depth receiver will not fit. On top of that, PowerStack lets you bolt an Alpine KTA-450 or KTA-200M amplifier straight to the back, so you can add power without running a second device. Sound tuning runs deeper than the price suggests: a 13-band graphic EQ, 6-channel time correction, and a Sound Boost menu with expanded bass and subwoofer controls. Meanwhile, USB handles the wired CarPlay and Android Auto connection, and Bluetooth covers hands-free calls and streaming.

Value depends on whether you need the camera in the same order. By contrast, the standard Alpine iLX-W670 costs about $40 less and carries 354 ratings, so it is the safer pick if you already own a camera or want a deeper review history. Even so, the Alpine iLX-W670-M saves you a second shopping trip and a second install, and the bundled camera plus steering wheel control adapter arrive in the box. The honest trade-offs: there is no wireless CarPlay, the 26 Amazon ratings are thin, and coverage stops at a 1-year manufacturer warranty. If you want one purchase that covers screen, sound and reversing visibility, this is the bundle to get.
