Alpine APF-X303VW – UART Can-Bus Interface

Alpine APF-X303VW – UART Can-Bus Interface – NEW Model

The Alpine APF-X303VW Is A Specialist CAN-BUS Interface That Allows Deeper Integration Between Your VW Vehicle & Stereo System

Features

Retain Steering Wheel, Vehicle Display Functions, Parking & Heating Visualisations
While replacing the original equipment will not limit the functions, drivers will appreciate the ability to retain such visualisations and controls. The APF-X303VW is our solution that allows the customer to receive the same kind of images while operating the heater or air condition controls and also during parking. The interface will also support the VW radio display in the instrument cluster (MFD) and VW Steering Wheel Remote Control.

Supports Basic Functions of Original Steering Wheel Controls
The Alpine system is connected to your steering wheel control buttons. This means you do not lose this convenient feature when upgrading to Alpine and you will have control over volume, phone (hook on/off), audio track forward/backward and many other commands. You can even activate Siri voice control if you have an iPhone connected to the system – right from your steering wheel. (Functions vary and are not always compatible with every wheel)

Retain Driver Information Display (MFD)
The small display in the instrument cluster is also connected to the Alpine system and can display radio station names, song titles and artist information, caller names, navigation turn-by-turn arrows (Where Navigation is installed and coded) and much more.

Retain Optical Parking Sensor Display
If your car is equipped with original parking sensors, you can continue to use this convenient feature when upgrading to Alpine. The parking sensor system is connected to your Alpine screen, showing a convenient distance display. Our 2nd generation of Alpine Style headunits features parking sensor display with much higher display detail.

Retain Climate Control Visuals Info
The headunit gives you visual feedback for the selected temperature of driver and co-driver, AC status, seat heating level, selected air vents and more. This screen will automatically appear for a few seconds when any of the named settings is changed to give the driver feedback. Typically this is only supported on VW’s that have the high end climate control system installed from factory.
