Alpine INE-W927HD

I installed an Alpine INE-W927HD multimedia with onboard Navigation. Used the Crutchfield dash kit and interfaces, picked up the PAC TR-7 to handle the parking brake issue, and another adapter to allow OEM Aux to function. Looks great. Sounds as good as an old guy like me needs with the OEM speakers.

I installed a 920hd in mine and it ruined the sound of the stock speakers for me, if I hadn't had it already I would not recommend replacing only the head unit

Did you hook up the power to the door speakers?

Yup... I actually thought the stock radio didn't sound that bad once I set it to FR-S instead of TC, but when I got the 920HD in there I just couldn't get it to sound the same.

I connect with my galaxy. The Alpine has Bluetooth Pandora so I stream my Sheryl Crow radio station beautifully.

If you can shot some screen pics w/ galaxy android apps that work w/ this unit that would be great. I remember see a vendor guy on youtube said 927/928 does not fully support android apps yet kind of strange to me.

First a correction I don't have an adapter for a AUX, it's the Axxess AX-toyusb I bought to provide OEM USB. I don't think it streams general aps. Pandora for sure, then it will run your play lists. Sorry.
