Alpine INE-F904D – Halo 9 Navigation System

Alpine INE-F904D – Halo 9 Navigation System

The Alpine INE-F904D is the new and improved version of the iLX-F903D Media System. Carrying on the Halo 9 due to its impressive nine-inch screen size boasts some super amazing features such as Digital Radio, Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. You now also get the added benefit of having a Full Navigation System as well rather than just relying on your Mobile Phone Apps.

The new Alpine Halo9 Navi features iGo Primo NextGen navigation with TomTom maps for 46 countries and 3 years of free-of-charge map updates. You can also use navigation apps (such as Google Maps, Waze, etc) with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

The Halo 9 is certainly the bigger brother of the iLX-702D and builds on an already great system. The massive 9″ screen that is fully adjustable either on a tilt or up and down means that no matter what vehicle it’s installed into, you’ll get the perfect viewing angle. Popular with VW Transporter owners that have always suffered from Sun-Glare when installing an aftermarket system the Halo 9 means that this will never be an issue.

The INE-F904D Alpine Halo 9 brings a 9-inch high-resolution touch-screen to any vehicle with 1DIN installation space. The super-slim display appears to simply hover over your dashboard and even includes a white LED ambient light on the bottom. You get Built-in Navigation, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, DAB digital radio, USB video playback, Bluetooth hands-free and audio streaming and much more with this amazing product. Bring the future of car media to your ride with the Alpine Halo 9.

Halo 9 Navigation System Installed into a Volkswagen Transporter T6

Top Features

Alpine Halo9 Navi
The INE-F904D is a DAB+ Advanced Navi Station with a 9-inch WVGA touch-screen and drive-less design (no CD/DVD slot). It uses a 1DIN chassis for installation, but the display “hovers” in front of the vehicle’s dash, allowing the oversize screen to be added to a variety of vehicles without the need for custom installation. The INE-F904D features iGo primo nextgen navigation with pre-installed TomTom maps for 46 countries. You even get 3 years of free-of-charge map updates for your system

1DIN Chassis – 9″ Screen
The INE-F904D features a 1DIN chassis, making it immediately compatible with any vehicle with either 1DIN or 2DIN radio dock. The 9-inch high-resolution touch-screen is attached to the front of the media box with steel brackets to achieve a rock-solid display that does not wobble while driving.

Edge-to-Edge Glass Design
The amazing 9-inch display sits in a super slim housing with edge-to-edge glass and nice chrome trim around the edge. Combined with the touch-responsive hard keys on the bottom it makes the units stunningly beautiful and very modern in function and appearance.

Adjustable Display Angle
You can adjust the INE-F904D’s display angle from +45 degrees to -20 degrees to match a wide range of dashboard angles. After the display angle is set, it gets locked into place during installation to be rock-steady while driving over any terrain and when pushing with your finger on the display to control the unit.

Adjustable Display Height and Distance
The display height can be adjusted +/- 3cm from the centre position. This allows fully standing or hanging display configurations as well as everything in between. You can also adjust the distance of the display to your dash in a 20mm range. After the display height and distance to the dash are selected, everything gets locked into place to be very solid.

Built-in Navigation with TomTom Maps
The built-in iGo Primo nextgen navigation system uses TomTom maps and comes with pre-installed maps for 46 European countries. Select from hundreds of thousands of POIs to find gas stations, restaurants, sightseeing spots, shopping malls and much more. You can also input your destination using Geo-coordinates. Lane guidance always informs you in which lane to drive to not miss any exit or turn. TMC feeds your system with up-to-date traffic information.

Works with Apple CarPlay
Simply connect your iPhone to the USB port of your Alpine Halo9 and launch Apple CarPlay to communicate, navigate and stay entertained with your favourite smartphone apps. Most apps are Siri optimized so you can keep your eyes on the road. Apple CarPlay is compatible with iPhone 5 and newer.

Works with Android Auto
Android Auto was designed with safety in mind. With a simple and intuitive interface, integrated steering wheel controls, and powerful new voice actions, it’s designed to minimize distraction so you can stay focused on the road. Android Auto automatically brings you useful information and organizes it into simple cards that appear just when they’re needed.

Waze
Waze is a community-driven navigation app, that displays the location of your friends, road hazards, police stops and much more.

Spotify
If you have a Spotify account, you can now use it in your car as well. Spotify is available for both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and features the same search and playback functionality as the app on your smartphone. Paired with the amazing 9-inch touch-screen this is a must-have app for your Alpine.

Voice Assistants
Push the voice button on your Alpine unit or your steering wheel buttons (if supported) to activate Siri or Google Assistant. You can simply ask to call people, ask for route directions, write and send messages, ask for weather forecasts and much, much more.

Built-in Bluetooth
The built-in Bluetooth module allows wireless connection of a mobile phone for hands-free communication. A very intuitive user interface makes it very easy to set the microphone and speaker volume. It also includes a speed dial function for the most frequently called numbers. Bluetooth also enables audio streaming from the phone: audio content or even internet radio can be wirelessly transferred to your Alpine unit.

Built-in DAB Digital Radio
The built-in DAB tuner uses the most advanced digital technology to deliver radio reception with outstanding, noise-free sound quality. DAB+ also offers many other advantages over traditional FM radio: choose from a much wider range of radio stations and after the initial station scan easily select your desired channels from an alphabetic or genre list of available stations.

Vehicle Data-Bus Connectivity
If your car is equipped with parking sensors, you can continue to use this convenient function with your INE-F904D. Alpine offers many vehicle data-bus interfaces to connect your Halo9 to your vehicle’s data-bus system. This enables compatibility with your vehicle’s steering wheel control buttons, display of air conditioning settings as well parking sensor display.
