Description
When the car's factory-installed radio is replaced with an Alpine player, you don't have to give up the things you're already used to with the original radio. The APF-X303VW is a solution that brings the information of the car's heating/air conditioning device to the Alpine screen, as well as, for example, the information of the original parking radar. This adapter also supports the MFD display in the instrument cluster and the car's original steering wheel buttons.
Original steering wheel buttons for use
If your car is equipped with steering wheel buttons, these also work seamlessly with the Alpine player. 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.
If you use an iPhone, you can also activate Siri with one press of a button.
MFD display
The APF-X303VW also supports the car's MFD (Multi Function Display) in the instrument panel. You can see the name of the radio channel, track information, etc., just like on the original player.
Reversing radar and reversing camera display
If your car has a factory-installed reversing radar and/or reversing camera*, you can also make these work with Alpine and get their information on the screen at the same time.
*) does not support factory installed RGB camera.
Heating and air conditioning information
You get clear and detailed information on the Alpine screen every time you adjust the air conditioner or seat heaters. The display turns on automatically for a few seconds whenever adjustments are made.
Pre-Flight Check
For touring and camping car use, Alpine can remind you when starting off that, for example, the car's gas taps are closed, all the necessary doors are closed, the car's outriggers are removed, etc.
You can choose the settings for your own car yourself or disable these reminders completely.
Compatible with almost all Alpine instruments
The APF-X303VW is compatible with, among others, all Halo players of the first and second generation. You can find all compatible instruments under the heading "Compatible products" at the bottom of the page.
