I have been a long time fan of Alpine car products, having owned numerous head units, amps, speakers, CD-stackers and subwoofers for over 25 years.

How do you expect to improve and make a better product and make more profits if you never interact with your customers? How do you know what they want if you never actually interact directly with your customers or allow your customers to interact directly with you? How the hell can Alpine be so out of date, so antiquated that it limits users to 1995 technology, which is not even supported by Windows or MAC any more? Windows limits the formatting of USB "Flash drives" (another archaic term) to 16 GB or 32GB's on Fat16/32 storage devices (I had to resort to an alternate format option to format my drives to Fat32). Plus the USB drive is limited to only being able to read Fat 16/32 formatting! Seriously WTF!!! You do realise FAT32 formats were "state of the art" in 1995 with the release of Windows 95, in 1995? Instead, hidden in fine print on page 100+ of the owners manual is a little caveat that the 702D can only read 10,000 files/folders (maximum size 512MB) from a USB FLASH Drive. One of the primary reasons I selected the product. Dealers who advertise that the Alpine iLX-702D AV media head unit can play hard drives via the USB connection. Still no response from any real person to my Facebook message? Instead you fob off your responsibilitie s to your "dealers" (your - dodgy - terminology). How does Alpine get feedback on its products? Especially as it does not seem to have any human interaction on its Facebook page. Dear Alpine, we seem to be having a few issues.įirstly, WOW - so there is no way to give Alpine direct feedback on their website or even an email address for feedback and questions.
