Alpine quality in the dumps??

[Jackson's Dad 64 C10]

I used to be a huge Alpine guy as well. Last fall, I decided to replace the factory nav/DVD head unit in my Silverado, because I wanted CarPlay. My requirement was that I retain all of my factory options (back up camera, nav, factory rear seat entertainment, Satellite radio, etc). I was on the fence between the top end Alpine ILX and a Pioneer NEX 8100. Ended up going with the Pioneer, and couldn’t be happier. When the time comes to do audio in the 64 C10, I’m going to give it a hard look again. My son has already been asking if he can have a backup camera, and subs like my truck... I think I’ve created a little monster!
