[QUOTE="AlphaQ1888, post: 8736846, member: 682374"] Hey there everyone, Have a dumb question and wanted to get some help before I purchased anything. I currently have a single din CDE-164BT ([URL]https://www.crutchfield.com/S-9KSVbGGeQ3l/p_500CDE164B/Alpine-CDE-164BT.html[/URL]) installed in my 93 MR2 Turbo. Purchased the correct harness and everything is working correctly. Really want Apple Car Play and a double din to upgrade to. Thinking of going with the Alpine iLX-W650 ([URL]https://www.crutchfield.com/p_500ILXW650/Alpine-iLX-W650.html?tp=72357[/URL]) because of the price point and the decent overall reviews. Wanted to ask about the connected on the back of the head-unit itself. Will I need to rewire anything to the new harness? Or could I leverage the existing cable? I don't need a backup camera, so that is not going to impact me at all. Figure I could just plug the existing black connecter into the new iLX-W650 and everything should technically work. Side note, anyone have any issues with it? I know their is a difference with the built in amp and my speakers should technically be fine (listed below): 2xAlpine Type S (with tweeters) - 6.5'' - Front Doors 2xAlpine type S - 4''- Side speakers 2xPolk Audio MW5530 Woofers 5 1/4" - 4 ohms - Replacement of the existing OEM amplified subs. Still using Stock Amps Head Unit amp wattage CDE-164BT: 18 watts RMS CEA-2006/50 peak x 4 channels iLX-W650: 16 watts RMS/40 peak x 4 channels Just to note, my goal was to get decent sound in a small cabin. I'm not an audiophile, but do want a decent sound profile. Thank you again. *Edit: Would also consider the Alpine ILX-207 if it is generally a better unit. The internal amp is "better" but I don't see why its double the price.. [/QUOTE]
