Anyone get this? I'm debating on getting it. But the price has me going back and forth. I have the factory 8" screen. No nav. You guys think if I got the alpine someone would buy the factory screen setup?

 

If I could get decent money for the factory setup as well as my factory 20" wheels and tires I might have to get this. Only thing I'm not liking is how it always has to be plugged in the obd II connector.

 

Thoughts ? Opinions?

Bigger screen was what I was after also. Still having a hard time with the price though

No way could I justify the 2,500-3,500 price tag for some navigation and easy to use music apps.

Should have optical outs also for that price.

I'd pass. Way too much money for what it is

It is a really cool stereo but the price is very high. I would rather have a factory stereo and $4000 system.

I think for me the hardest part to swallow with the stock unit is andriod integration. I have a 14 so GM screwed me and now I have to pay one of those dudes upwards of a grand just to project andriod auto? No thanks.

 

Ill probably just keep the OEM radio.

After a really good sleeping on this I decided I'm going to pass. Keeping the factory 8" and decided I'm doing a custom system. Having the rear bench modded to end up being 2 buckets. Basically cutting the 60 center out. Having a box made in that spot and under seat to allow for enough airspace. All new components. Amps, subs and components are all a d designs. Really quality stuff. Will use the money I would have spent on the head unit towards this.

I'm thinking about this now. It'll make putting in my other stuff easier. The chime and phone thing is what kills me I want to keep it and with this I think it allows you to keep

I'm an Alpine fanboy and I would never pay that price for that setup. Their Navigation is ok (I have it in two of my other cars) but it's no where near as good as a stock GM system. Not worth the price at all, even for a 2" bigger screen.

 

Only way I might consider it would be on a work truck with a base radio.

Just got off the phone with a certain member. The Alpine thing went right out the door. Hopefully this summer. I'll have my audio build on here.

Man that door chime after adding amps was ridiculous. Seriously stupid loud! Might just be better to add an iPad Pro in there. Have a even bigger screen and way way cheaper. I was thinking about doing this also but since my truck is a 14 I don't have wifi. And my phone plan only allows 20gb month for hotspot. Just gonna do my speakers and amps now and will see what happens with the head unit.

I agree their navi sucks. I had a alpine in my z06 and honestly used it a few times and couldn't believe how bad it was. I like kenwoods the best but they only make 6.95" ones. Didn't want to go smaller.

I was talked out of it. And I'm glad because I absolutely hate alpine

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      That one looks decent for the price   BUT..I want something that also supports OBDI/1.5. A lot of the prosumer-grade scanners don't have legacy support in order to keep costs low. I believe the Autel does if you go higher end with them.   For fun, I reached out to a local Snap-On rep because I was interested in the 2600. $1895 MSRP, says he can do $1595. That's still a lot, but then again, that's not a horrible discount for just asking out of the blue. Could probably do better if I was a regular buying off his truck, but I'm not.   Not sure if I mentioned but I didn't realize with USED scanners from Snap On that you need to make sure a) the serial number isn't flagged as stolen. On the newer ones, SnapOn can remotely disable the device if it's flagged in their system. And, customer service can tell you if it is, if you're thinking about buying used. B) Make sure it's paid off. If the seller still owes money to the truck or if they financed through Snap On, the device can be remotely disabled until the balance is paid. It's less clear if SnapOn will tell you if a balance is still owed; I didn't make it that far with the used model I was considering. I did read that SnapOn has no way of tracking any "truck financing" deals between the SnapOn rep and buyer, only if they financed through corporate. So there's that extra caution needed.   Still waffling on whether I go with a ~$500ish Autel/TopDon or spend bigger money. The value seems to be in the prosumer brands. I'm not giving them enough credit TBH, actual production repair shops use them daily BUT I'm still allergic to certain kinds of underdog products trying to unseat American companies with solid reputations. SnapOn's scanner isn't wholly made in the US, but it is assembled here and they have US support and probably the most proven/ robust legacy support.   Something to think about. Value, or principles? There's a $1k difference.

      Winter Returned

      By Atlas · Posted

      I'm thankful to live where we don't have extreme weather. We might all be blown to smithereens when Mt. Rainier goes, but 80 is warm enough in the summer and I can generally count the number of hard freezes in the winter on one hand. The cars here don't rust and they don't get sun-baked, either.   We have finished off many of our average 52 days of "clear/sunny" weather, though. Sunsets are coming earlier, the nights are a little cooler. It's right around the first week of September when we get our first warning that summer is coming to a close with overcast skies and the start of "hoodie weather" temperatures during the cooler parts of the day. By October, it's usually time to ditch the shorts. By November, it's mostly raining.

      My point was: If what you are doing works, keep doing it:   But, I will have a talk with AI to make sure their info is more accurate going forward.
