Non ‘Halo’ double din replacement

[Jules/d]

Most recommendations for head unit replacement are for the Alpine Halo units.
Which double din, non ‘floating screen’ will still allow full functionality, access from the steering wheel controls to all the submenus on a T6.1 and is reckoned to be the best on the market?
I’m happy to look at a sliding screen option as well but would rather not have a permanently displayed big screen.

Alpine iLX-705D, same unit as the Halo units but without the floating screen

I’m presuming this is a bit cheaper than the Halo 9?

Yes buddy they're about £599 plus the required fitting kit etc. The new alpine fitting kit retains factory mic so install is a little simpler and neater

for the alpine units do they need the alpine reverse cam or can they take any camera?

They can take any camera, some alpines do need an adapter though for this .
