Installed this unit in my Silverado replacing an old Ecplise 5000 receiver. BIG Difference! The sound is clear for IPOD/BT/Pandora and has lots of features for customizing your audio. Phone works better than the wife's lexus factory unit. This unit is awesome!!

Let me start off by saying, I am very picky when it comes to audio and video electronics, I always save for the best and never look back with regrets. I replaced an Alpine CDE-123 (best head unit ever made, until I got this one, especially since it featured dual USB) I researched this head unit for a solid month before pulling the trigger. I have been quiet spoiled in my wife's vehicle with the handsfree bluetooth, not any more. Most of the reviews I have read on other units, ended up having many issues, such as feedback or bad sound / mic pick up. Not this unit, the bluetooth connects immediately when I get in my truck, sound is amazing, like using my Beats headphones for phone calls. Something else that really drew me to this unit was the Tune It feature. I had a IDA-305S that I was going to use, however the sound was flat, there was no mid range, so it was either too booming or too much scream, no proper balance. I looked into getting the vintage audio imprint processor, but for the price of it alone, I began to research this unit. After reading a lot, the Tune It app feature, essentially does the same thing, perhaps through software vs hardware. I like the fact I can change the sound on the fly from my phone, send the new settings right over and there they are. Some people might look at this as a novelty, however I think it is vitally important for getting the best sound. There is a reason why cheap head units are cheap, they sound bad and don't offer any adjustment to correct the sound, this is true in both home and auto. The 2 line text display is a very nice touch as well, I like that the clock is still displayed with the artist and track name as well. HD radio (where available) is a big improvement as well. If I had to list one thing that I did not like with this unit it would be that it didn't have front and rear USB, but then again, only the CDE-123 had both. I like the rear USB, because I can toss the iPod in the glove box and it is out of sight out of mind. Hope this helpsRead full review

iPhone integration is great (no issue with iPhone 6S) even with Bluetooth. Screen is very easy to read even with polarized sunglasses.

I'm using the Alpine CDE-HD149BT receiver in my truck with 4" speakers in the front and 5-1/4" speakers in the back. I paired the receiver with an Alpine Power Pack, which is so compact that it could be stowed behind the glove compartment. It really make the difference from turning good sound from quality speakers into great sound! All the features work well. I like the separate gains for the two pairs of speakers so that I can favor the smaller front pair for balance. I love having USB for my iPhone, and am very happy that I can play whatever app I have open and it will find and play it - Spotify, Amazon Music, and Tunein Radio all work nicely from my iPhone. The only feature I don't like is Pandora - it connects with the Pandora app on the iPhone and then switches controls to the receiver. It's easier to use the app's controls. With this terribly cold winter, the radio controls go on and off until the truck cabin warms up. But that's not Alpine's fault, it's the weather's effect on electronics! I'm very happy with this product and I would recommend it to anyone.Read full review

Great value for all the features you get. Overall pretty satisfied with it. Fine tuning of EQ was tricky, but app made it easier. App is a definite must have.
