Alpine ILX-207 Android auto for 986

[SMK Shoe]

I installed the ILX-207 into my 2017 tundra. great head unit and love the control box to run all my light relays from the head unit. Thought about same for the Boxster but alpine make another head unit that pretty much looks the same and acts the same but with no cd it is about half as deep and with a amp designed to bolt to the back of the unit and still remain same size as a double din. I'll look in a few to get the model number but well worth it. Love the unit and amp.

I didn't know you could move the HVAC module to the bottom. I thought the screen sat forward of the receiver and tilted. Looks like it sits flush into the two din slots. Have you guys also replaced the cigarette lighter plug with the American version. Current cigarette plug is too big for American stuff.

I installed an Alpine ILXw650, not the ilx207. Not sure what the difference is, but both are double din, but I think the 650 is only half the depth of the 207.
I had to relocate the HVAC controls to the bottom and replaced the useless cd storage unit with a useable storage cubby for my glasses.

That bezel has a huge top.
I would flip it so it’s on the bottom and install some flush mount USB ports or something...maybe keep it upright and add Boxster or Porsche script?

I like the idea of putting a Porsche script on the top. I might have to look into that. I don’t think it needs to be flipped, its fine with me.

No, of course not for the script. You’d want that up top.
USB ports on top wouldn't work, though, due to hanging cords. You’d want it flipped for that.
That was my point.

This is the unit I used. Since it only about 2 1/2" deep you can mount a Amp on the back of the radio and still be at Double Din Dimensions.

I have done nothing yet. Just planning for a future install.
