Description
ALPINE X903D-S906 (MB SPRINTER)
Alpine is now making available the third generation of hardware for the Mercedes Benz Sprinter (W906). The X903D-S906 includes a giant 9″ touch screen that sits outside the dashboard, offering easy and pleasant control while driving. You can use navigation and other functions without reaching unnecessarily, and the dashboard storage compartment will also still be available to you.
The X903D-S906 includes iGo Primo NextGen navigation with TomTom maps, which includes three years of free map updates. The navigation menus are in Finnish and the instructions are also in clear Finnish (you can also change the language to e.g. Swedish or English). And what's best about navigation, once you've entered the dimensions of your vehicle into the device's memory, Alpine always takes these into account when calculating the route, meaning no more ending up in tight dead ends or e.g. routes where a car larger than a regular passenger car is not allowed to drive!
In addition to the built-in navigation, Android Auto* or Apple CarPlay navigations also work through the player.
Ease of use
Ease of use is one of the most important aspects when you sit in the car a lot and use the player during the journey. Alpine Style also means taking into account ergonomics, in addition to stylish integration. The screen is at a suitable distance from the dashboard, so you can use the touch screen without reaching. The physical buttons around the screen also bring more user comfort and improve traffic safety.
A giant 9″ screen
The attention is first drawn to the large 23cm screen - in fact, the screen is the same size as, for example, Apple's iPad. On the large screen, the navigation instructions and phone numbers and texts are really easy to read while driving. The virtual buttons that appear on the screen are also large, so pressing them while driving takes your eyes off the traffic for as short a time as possible.
Original steering wheel buttons
If your car is equipped with steering wheel buttons, these also work with X903D-S906. You can perform basic functions without taking your hands off the wheel, such as muting the player, changing e.g. the program source or radio channel, adjusting the volume, etc.
Beautiful to look at
Premium cars need a Premium player. The X903D-S906 fits the Mercedes dashboard perfectly and the instrument "floats" in front of the dashboard. The player's microphone is also integrated into the screen, so it doesn't appear "extra" in the field of view either.
Easy camera control
The image of the reversing camera (accessory) appears on the screen automatically when the reverse gear is switched on. But, if you want to look behind while driving, you can easily do this using the Camera button on the screen.
OneLook screen
Alpine's innovative OneLook screen splits the screen in half. You can see navigation information and audio information at a glance. Therefore, choosing different views does not require jumping through different menus. You can switch from OneLook mode to full screen mode with a single swipe.
The best navigation on the market?
iGo Primo NextGen navigation is one of the navigation software on the market. The X903D-S906 has a more efficient processor and a larger memory capacity than its predecessor, so navigation now works even faster and more accurately. The X903D-S906 map can now also be zoomed in and out by "pinch".
Hundreds of thousands of POIs make it easy to set your destination, and in larger cities, 3D icons of buildings are drawn on the map, making it even easier to stay on the route.

- 48 European country maps
- The possibility to save the dimensions of the car in the player, which Alpine always takes into account when calculating the route

Park4Night inside

You can call a destination or start navigation with just one button press. The information is updated annually and the updates cover not only the items but also the updates of all reviews and comments. park4night is pre-installed on X903D-S906 players purchased after 06/2020 and for older X903D-S906 players it can be purchased afterwards.

TomTom maps, with three years of free updates
The most important aspect of navigation is its map database. Alpine X903D-S906 contains maps of 48 countries, which are responsible for TomTom. 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.
GPS and Glonass positioning
The more satellites are in use, the faster the vehicle's location is updated on the map and the more accurate the navigation. In addition to GPS positioning, Alpine uses Glonass positioning, which is particularly helpful when traditional GPS reception may weaken (e.g. near tall buildings or in mountains).
Vehicle dimensions
If you enter the data of your car into the X903D-S906 player (length, width, height and possible trailer or caravan data), Alpine always takes these measurements into account when calculating the route. This is a very important and useful feature, especially for caravanners, with which you can avoid ending up in dead ends or places where it is not allowed to drive except for a regular passenger car.
POIs
You can search for POIs by POI category, distance or, for example, by name. This makes it easier to find a suitable hotel, restaurant, gas station or other point of interest.
Many destinations also have phone numbers visible, so if necessary you can also call directly to the destination found on the list.
Campsites and other caravan sites
The X903D-S906 recognizes thousands of campsites and campsites across Europe. More special destinations can be downloaded for a fee from www.naviextras.com.
3D maps and speed data
You can see the map in 3D format, and the outlines of buildings and landmarks are also visible on the map of the largest European cities. If necessary, you can also get the speed limits and speed camera information on the screen.
Lane guidance
Clear lane guidance makes it easier to group up at intersections in advance.
