Alpine ILX-007

ChaseZ · 05-31-2016, 10:41 PM

Got the deck and a wifi OBDII dongle just waiting for the harness adapter to show up then I'll give it a go.

Also have en route a Pioneer SPH-DA120 which is basically their equivelant to the 007. I know that one will work so it is the backup plan. Only has a 6.2" screen though. I much prefer the alpine but if it can't run dash command that's a deal breaker for me.

I emailed Palmer to see if they had any advise on getting the app to work. Will share the response

Well I did some digging and it looks like I was mistaken about that review. I can't find the review but all the info I can find says DashCommand does not work on Apple CarPlay. I found a post on Palmer's forum that states that Apple CarPlay is an invite only app system. Palmer wants to make DashCommand CarPlay capable but Apple hasn't invited them yet.

The only ever so slight chance of hope for it to work is through wifi.

I did find out that the Ilx-007 DOES have a Bluetooth chip and antenna in it, but is UN-activated until some unforeseen future iOS/CarPlay update.

That's just a rumor. For what I have read that has not been confirmed yet.

I saw a photo of an open 007 case and the chip was right there front and center.

In any case, with no workaround for DashCommand the 007 is unfortunately out,many the DA120 is going in.
