GM Trucks Continue to Get Restyled by Alpine Electronics
Torrance, Calif. (Jan. 5, 2017) - Alpine Electronics continues to offer Alpine Restyle entertainment and information products for application in GM trucks. The products are being displayed at the 2017 International CES, taking place Jan. 5-8, at the Las Vegas Convention Center. The Alpine Restyle products are geared to match the GM truck owner?s lifestyle, whether the truck is used for work or relaxation.
?Alpine staked a claim in our dedication to the GM truck market with our revolutionary 10-inch screen systems for select models,? said Steve Crawford, vice president and general manager, aftermarket business unit, Alpine Electronics of America, Inc. ?With the addition of a new interface, we are now able to expand the compatibility of this one-of-a-kind system to even more trucks.?
The Widest Variety of Screen Sizes for GM Trucks
Alpine is the only manufacturer of 10-inch and 9-inch aftermarket Restyle dash systems engineered for select GM trucks. Both screens are larger than the standard aftermarket screen size of 7-inches. The 10-inch systems are the X110-SLV for 2014-up Chevrolet Silverados and the X110-SRA for 2014-up GMC Sierras. The 9-inch models are the X009-GM for select 2007-2013 GM trucks with lower dash radio and 2007-2014 GM SUVs, and the X009-GM2 for select GM 2007-2013 full size trucks with upper dash radio. All Restyle systems are Alpine engineered to match the truck with a dash bezel that replaces the OEM radio for a factory look and vehicle specific wiring harnesses for plug and play installation.
The X110-SLV and X110-SRA have shown increased popularity among owners of high trim level trucks. Based on this consumer feedback, Alpine has introduced the new KCX-BOSE-GM adapter which allows the Bose® amplifier system to be retained when the X110-SLV or X110-SRA is installed in a 2014-up Chevrolet Silverado or GMC Sierra. A single USB port with mounting bracket is included to replace the factory USB ports in the lower dash panel for a seamless OEM look.
X009-GM and X009-GM2 9-Inch Restyle Dash Systems
The X009-GM and X009-GM2 9-inch Restyle dash systems have audio, video and navigation and Bluetooth® wireless technology feature sets. Audio sources include a built-in HD Radio? receiver, iPhone and iPod® music control, audio streaming, and Pandora® control from iPhone and Android? smartphones. Both models are SiriusXM-Ready? and connect to the SiriusXM SXV300 Connect Vehicle Tuner Kit (sold separately, subscription required). Video features include an HDMI input for connectivity to HDMI-enabled devices and an HDMI output for digital connection to an optional rear seat entertainment system. Navigation benefits include text-to-speech driving directions and free lifetime HERE® Traffic RDS service. The models also come with an iDatalink® Maestro® module to retain select factory vehicle controls and features like OnStar? from GM, steering wheel controls and visual parking guides when used with a rear view camera. Customized vehicle information such as tire pressure, battery voltage, and user selectable gauges can also be viewed on the screen. The ?My Favorites? feature lets users customize a quick-access screen with shortcuts to their most-used features like audio sources, navigation commands and phone settings.
X110-SLV and X110-SRA 10-Inch Restyle Dash Systems
The X110-SLV and X110-SRA have additional capabilities over the 9-inch models. The X110-SLV and X110-SRA each have a high resolution WXGA screen and enhanced graphic user interface that uses 4--way swipe action control: a left swipe accesses navigation commands, a right swipe accesses audio and video commands, a swipe down accesses adjustments to the audio system or rear seat entertainment system (sold separately) and a swipe up accesses Bluetooth commands and source selection. Within the audio and video page, the user can swipe across to access the entertainment sources connected to the system.
The X110-SLV and X110-SRA have smartphone connectivity powered by Airbiquity® for iPhone and Android based smartphones, featuring a portfolio of useful and popular infotainment content. The companion Alpine Connect smartphone app provides simple content selection and user personalization and integrates it into the Alpine system?s user and navigation interfaces. Current Alpine Connect content includes: iHeartRadio® for streaming live radio stations from across the country, custom music stations, 24/7 news, on-demand podcasts, and the best in sports, talk and comedy programming; Yelp® for finding local places to eat, drink, and shop; and Glympse® for sharing locations with friends and family. Additional content will be added to Alpine Connect in 2017.
System Expansion for 10-inch Restyle Dash Systems
When used with the optional KAC-001 External Accessory Control Module (sold separately), the X110-SLV and X110-SRA become a hub for convenient touch screen control of up to eight add-on truck accessories like a motorized tonneau cover, air suspension, light bar, winch, headlights, etc. A graphical icon and text label can be assigned to each accessory for quick identification on the screen. Eight individual outputs are available to control eight relay-connected accessories, and each output can be configured for a pulsed, latched or momentary output. The KCX-C250MC Multi-Camera Selector Interface (sold separately) allows up to three camera systems (rear, front, right side) to be added to the vehicle and controlled from the touch screen.
Truck Sound Systems and Tailgate Handle Camera
Two sound systems and a tailgate handle camera are also available for the GM trucks. The PSS-31GM 3-Way Direct Fit Sound System Package is for select 2014-up GM full size trucks. The package contains the SPT-31GM 3-way component direct-fit speaker system, an MRV-V500 5-channel V-Power amplifier and Alpine's unique 10-inch Zero Space Subwoofer. The SPT-31GM upgrades the truck?s speaker system from a 2-way to a 3-way system by supplying 8-inch woofers (for the front doors), 6.5-inch coaxial speakers (for the rear doors) and 3-inch midrange speakers plus 1-inch tweeters (installed in the dash) which all fit in the factory speaker locations. The kit comes with Alpine engineered speaker pods for a factory fit and look (the SPT-31GM is also available as its own packaged speaker system). The subwoofer attaches to the wall behind the truck?s rear seat so it doesn't take up any usable space and creates low-frequency extension by coupling the enclosure to the cabin vents behind the seat. All needed installation hardware like amplifier wiring and speaker adapters are included.
A similar sound system is available for 2007-2013 GM full size trucks, which is the PSS-21GM Sound System Package. Included in the package are the SPT-21GM GM truck speaker system (consisting of 2-way, 6 ½-inch component speakers for the front doors, 6 ½-inch coaxial speakers for the rear doors, and custom speaker pods that fit the compatible trucks), an MRV-V500 5-channel amplifier and a 10-inch Zero Space Subwoofer for 2007-2013 GM full size trucks. The SPT-21GM is available on its own as a speaker system or as part of the complete PSS-GM21 sound system.
The HCE-TG130GM Tailgate Handle Camera System fits 2007-2013 GM trucks. It?s a rear view camera system packaged with a tailgate handle surround bezel and integrated LED reverse lights. It replaces the stock tailgate handle surround bezel for bolt-in installation and has a keyable lock cylinder to deter theft. The camera offers four viewing modes: normal view to back into parking spaces; ground view to see the area directly under the camera to help with connecting to a tow hitch; split view to identify objects on the left and right corners; and panorama view to see the entire driveway when backing out.
