Description
The very popular Alpine Halo 9, now also available with built-in navigation.
The new Alpine "Halo 9 Navi" includes iGo Primo NextGen navigation with TomTom maps of 46 countries, as well as three years of free map updates. You can also use Apple CarPlay or AndroidAuto navigation applications for navigation (e.g. Google Maps or Waze)
The very stylish screen with light ambient light lighting creates a "floating" impression on the instrument. Bluetooth Handsfree and audio streaming, USB video playback, RDS and DAB tuners and much, much more. INE-F904D brings future multimedia features to your car today.
INE-F904D does not contain any CD / DVD mechanism at all, thanks to which the structure of the player is very graceful. The 9″ WVGA screen protrudes from the dashboard, and the name Halo 9 has its roots in the floating structure of the screen. The light backlight of the screen emphasizes this "floating in the air" of the large screen.
1-DIN frame – 9″ screen
The INE-F904D has a 1-DIN size body, so the player can be installed in any car with a 1-DIN or 2-DIN installation slot. The 9″ High Resolution touch screen is attached to the body of the player with metal brackets, so the screen sits firmly in place and does not vibrate or wobble while driving.
Edge-to-Edge display
The large 9″ screen is edge-to-edge glass and finished with an elegant chrome frame.
Screen height and angle adjustment
You can adjust the angle of the screen from +45 degrees to -20 degrees, which allows installation in a very large number of vehicles. After adjustment, the screen is locked to the central unit, which ensures that the screen sits firmly in place, and the screen does not sag or twist when you press the touch screen buttons.
The height of the screen can be adjusted +/- 3cm from the center and you can also adjust the depth of the screen by 20mm. After adjustment, the screen is locked firmly in place.
Built-in navigation
iGo Primo NextGen navigation uses TomTom maps and the database covers maps of 46 European countries and hundreds of thousands of POIs, such as gas stations, restaurants, shopping centers, etc.
Lane guidance makes grouping easier and watching the navigation on the big screen is very pleasant.
TomTom maps, with three years of free updates
The most important aspect of navigation is its map database. Alpine INE-F904D contains maps of 48 countries, for which TomTom is responsible. You can update the maps free of charge for three years via alpine.naviextras.com. After free map updates, updates can be obtained through the same site for a fee.
Cameras
You can also add Alpine's HDR reversing camera to the INE-F904D player, which offers top-class image quality in all lighting conditions. The image of the reversing camera appears on the 9″ screen automatically when the car starts to reverse.
With the help of a separate CAN bus adapter, it is possible to bring e.g. the information of the original reversing sensors from some cars to the Alpine screen. You can select the display of the reversing sensors to also work with the camera image at the same time.
Android Auto*
Android Auto offers a simple and clear user interface and brings the most important information to the INE-F904D's screen when you connect the phone to the player with a USB cable.
*Android Auto is not available from the Google Play store, so installing the application must be done in another way.
Below we have listed a few programs compatible with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, which we recommend you to familiarize yourself with.
Apple CarPlay
Connect your iPhone with the Lightning cable to the INE-F904D player and you can use all the features of Apple CarPlay. You can use Apple's navigation or use a few popular apps. A large number of applications can also be used with Siri, so you can keep your eyes on the road. Apple CarPlay is available on iPhone 5 and newer phones.
Below we have listed a few programs compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which we recommend you to familiarize yourself with.
Spotify
If you use Spotify, you can also use it from the player. Spotify is available with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and thanks to the 9″ screen, using the application is really pleasant.
Google Maps
More than 220 countries and hundreds of millions of navigation destinations! Google Maps offers navigation with a satellite view, real-time traffic information and very comprehensive POIs.
Waze
Waze is a community-based navigation app for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay that also shows your friends' locations, obstacles and accidents, police checkpoints, and more.
Calendar (Apple CarPlay)
The new calendar application shows the day's appointments and other calendar entries clearly grouped.
Built-in Bluetooth
Bluetooth enables hands-free calls and wireless streaming of music from the phone. So you can play e.g. Spotify and all possible internet radios via Alpine.
USB and HDMI
With the USB connection, you can play audio and video files from a memory stick, and with the HDMI connection, you can connect e.g. an external DVD player or any other device with an HDMI output to the player. In digital data transmission, image and sound quality remain high quality.
Alpine adjustability and sound quality
The INE-F904D includes Bass Engine SQ, which enables complete sound adjustment, starting with time delay controls, crossovers and a nine-band equalizer. And best of all, you can make adjustments on your Android and iOS device using the free TuneIt app. Four-volt line outputs and 24-bit D/A converters and support for e.g. FLAC files can be found, of course.
RDS and DAB tuners
In addition to the traditional RDS tuner, the INE-F904D also contains a digital DAB radio, so you can listen to digital radio channels abroad.
Voice control
Google Assistant and Siri make it possible to use the device with voice control. You can ask for route information, manage calls, dictate and send messages, without removing your grip from the steering wheel. Google does not enable the use of Google Assistant in the Finnish language.
GPS and Glonass
In addition to traditional GPS positioning, INE-F904D also uses Glonass positioning. This provides better and more accurate location determination in challenging conditions such as near tall buildings and in mountains. The device comes with a separate GPS antenna, so the GPS positioning of the phone is not used for Apple CarPlay or Android Auto navigation.
1-DIN mounting frame included
The INE-F904D comes with a 1-DIN installation frame that can be installed in cars with a 1-DIN slot. Make sure that the device is installed very firmly, because due to the weight of the player, special attention must be paid to the installation!
