Single DIN- Alpine Halo 9 Multimedia Recveiver

[jfitz981]

Hi Everyone,

Over the years, I have been searching for a good, brand name multimedia single DIN option for the Esprit and I think I have finally found one, the Alpine Halo 9: https://www.crutchfield.com/S-nSkXBSLweEB/p_500ILXF309/Alpine-Halo9-ILX-F309.html

It seems to have everything with the exception of being able to play CDs. I have seen the double DIN modifications over the years but I did not want to go the route of modifying the dashboard. This option especially with the ability to mount the screen low on the mounting plate looks to be the solution.

By chance, has anyone else considered this radio or possibly even installed it and give some feedback?

 

Take care,

Jason

No replies Jason, a pity as i am also on the search. With this one i hope the screen is forward far ehough to clear the dash pod, is there a dimensional drawing somewhere?

 

thanks!

Just found it, here is the installation manual:

There are multiple settings and it does not look like there will be any issue with fitment. My wife has been asking for Christmas gift ideas and I think I just found it. Actually the model 259 has all the features I need at half the price of 309 model. I have the car undergoing multiple upgrades so once we get to this, I will be sure to post pictures once it is installed.

I know this is old, but I just ordered the newer version of the Halo 9 the F259 if I recall correctly.  Hoping to have it installed soon.  I will post pics in my 2002 Esprit.
