Features

Mobile Multimedia Station: Alpine's line of Ai-NET Mobile Multimedia Stations allow you to connect and control a wide range of in-car audio and visual systems, such as DVD/CD/MP3 changers, rear seat monitors, and navigation systems, from an in-dash control center and separate amplifier unit.

Motorized, 6.5" Wide Touchscreen Monitor: The IVA-D100 has a motorized 6.5" wide, touchscreen monitor (with 16:9 aspect ratio) that serves as a video monitor and system information display.

External Amplifier: The system uses an external amplifier to drive the front and rear speakers. The 4-channel, 18 watts-per-channel amplifier has 4 RCA input jacks, and 16-pin wiring harness for the power inputs and speaker outputs.

PulseTouch: The unit's touchscreen features "PulseTouch," which provides tactile feedback, along with audible and visual confirmation, to the user to confirm the input of commands. It uses different vibrations and pressures that simulate what it feels like when you tap a real button, hold a button down, move a slider or touch where no screen commands exist.

Automatic Monitor Opening/Closing: When the Automatic Opening/Closing mode is set to "Full," the monitor automatically opens when the ignition key is turned to the "Acc" or "On" position. When the mode is set to "Manual", the monitor must be opened and closed using the Open/Close button. When the mode is set to "Close", the monitor automatically closes when the ignition key is turned off.

Monitor Angle/Slide Adjustment: You can adjust the monitor's angle and slide position for better visibility. The screen angle can be adjusted between 40 and 105 degrees (10 positions). The monitor's position can set to the normal position or slid forward approximately 1/2" ("front position") to clear possible dash obstructions.

Flat Angle Setting: When you want to operate some vehicle controls (air conditioner, etc.) that are hidden behind the raised monitor, you can temporarily position the monitor at a flat angle by pressing the "Open/Flat" button on the front panel. After 10 seconds in the flat position, the monitor moves back to its original angle.

Video Lock-out Feature: For safety and legal reasons, the IVA-D100 features a video lock-out feature to prevent the viewing of a video source while the vehicle is in motion. To watch a video source, the vehicle must be parked with the ignition in the ACC or ON position. The vehicle's parking brake must be engaged, disengaged, and engaged again while the foot brake is held in.

Illumination Control: You can select one of the following dimmer settings:

• Auto: adjusts the brightness of the background illumination of the monitor depending on the ambient light in your vehicle
• On: keeps the background illumination of the monitor dark
• Off: keeps the background illumination of the monitor bright

Background Screen: You have a choice of 5 different background textures. These backgrounds are visible when a CD, MP3/WMA, or the tuner is selected. When "Auto Background" is activated, the background texture will change each time the ignition key is turned off and turned on again.

Display Modes: You can select one of the following display modes:

• Mode 1 (Wide): evenly stretches a 4:3 picture horizontally to fit the wide screen monitor
• Mode 2 (Cinema): displays a 4:3 picture by stretching out the picture horizontally and vertically. This mode is good for displaying a cinema-type picture with a 16:9 ratio.
• Mode 3 (Normal): displays a 4:3 picture at the center of the screen with a vertical black band at each side

Blackout Display Mode: When the Blackout mode is activated, the display turns off to reduce power consumption. The additional power made available by turning off the display helps enhance sound quality.

MP3/WMA Playback: This unit can play CD-ROM, CD-R, and CD-RW discs containing MP3 and WMA files recorded using the ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level 2 formats; constant and variable bit rates from 32 kbps to 320 kbps are supported for MP3 and WMA. Discs recorded using Joliet, Romeo, or other ISO 9660 compliant formats can be played, but file and folder names may not be displayed correctly. ID3 tag v1 and WMA tags are supported; track title, artist name and album name ID3 tag data can be displayed.

Satellite Radio Ready: An optional XM or Sirius Satellite Radio tuner may be controlled by this unit when connected via the Ai-NET bus. For XM Satellite Radio, you can connect the Terk XMDirect Satellite Radio package (item # 700XMALPIN). For Sirius Satellite Radio, you can choose the SIR-ALP1 (607SIRALP1) for satellite radio programming, or the SIR-ALP10T (607SIRALPN) for satellite radio and NavTraffic. A subscription to XM or Sirius is required to receive programming. A separate subscription is required in order to receive traffic updates.

HD Radio Ready: The optional Alpine HD Radio Receiver (item # 500TUAT550) delivers FM radio with CD-like audio quality and AM with FM-like quality. Song, artist, and album titles are viewable on the display.

Auxiliary Input Ready: With the addition of the optional KCA-121B Ai-NET/RCA interface cable, the KCA-801B auxiliary input adapter, or the KCA-410C Versatile-Link Terminal, the audio from an auxiliary source can be played through this unit. When the KCA-121B interface cable is used, a CD changer cannot be connected to the head unit; the KCA-801B auxiliary input adapter allows you to connect an auxiliary source and an Ai-NET changer to the head unit. The KCA-410C Versatile-Link Terminal allows you to feed audio from up to two auxiliary sources and two Ai-NET CD changers to the head unit.

Navigation Ready: When connected to an optional Alpine Navigation unit (such as the NVE-N872A), the navigation screen and map data can be displayed on this unit. With the NAV.MIX feature, the voice guidance of the navigation system will be mixed with the radio or CD audio. The volume level of the voice guidance can be adjusted.

iPod Integration: An iPod can be connected to the IVA-D100 by using the proprietary Alpine KCE-422i Full Speed connection cable (item # 500KCE422i). When the iPod is connected to the unit, the controls of the iPod are non-functional, and the unit is fully controlled by the head unit. The unit can be used with Generation 3 and above iPod, iPod photo, iPod mini, or iPod nano only.

Bluetooth Ready: You can integrate your Bluetooth-enabled cellular phone with this unit when you connect the Alpine KCA-100BT Bluetooth Adapter (500KCA1BT). With the Bluetooth adapter, you can enjoy the convenience of hands-free cellular phone use, including listening and talking through your Alpine system.
