General Features
Mobile Multimedia Solutions:
Alpine's line of Ai-NET Mobile Multimedia Solutions 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. In addition, you can add iPod audio/video and control,
Bluetooth, satellite radio, and a USB connection.
Motorized, 6.5" Wide Touchscreen
Monitor: The IVA-D105 has a motorized 6.5" wide, touchscreen monitor (with 16:9
aspect ratio) that serves as a video monitor and system information display.
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 Adjustment: You can adjust the monitor's angle for better
visibility. The screen angle can be adjusted between 40°
and 105°
(10 positions).
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-D105 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:
Backlighting is provided by a fluorescent light built into the liquid crystal
panel. The illumination control adjusts the brightness of the backlighting based
on the car's ambient lighting for easier viewing. You can set the minimum level
of backlight in the menu from -15 to +15. The following dimmer settings are
available:
- 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
Visual EQ Mode: allows you to
select one of the following preset modes suitable for the subject image:
- Night Mode: suitable for
movies in which dark scenes frequently appear
- Soft: suitable for CGs and
animated films
- Sharp: suitable for old
movies where images are not clearly shown
- Contrast: suitable for
recent movies
- User Memory (P-1, P-2):
You can change and save Brightness, Color, Tint, Contrast, and Sharpness
values from any of the presets in up to two user memories
Data Download: You can download
data from Alpine's website to a CD-R or CD-RW and download and store the data in
the IVA-D105. You can download different visual backgrounds for the monitor.
DVD 5.1-channel Operation:
When playing a DVD encoded in Dolby Digital or DTS, the IVA-D105 can decode and
play the DVD in 5.1 channels. The unit has 4 speaker outputs and 5.1-channels of
preamp outputs including a subwoofer and center channel output. During
5.1-channel playback, you can also set or adjust Time Correlation, Subwoofer low
pass filter, Dolby Pro Logic II, Rear Fill, Speaker selection, Multi-channel
setup, Speaker setup, Bass sound control, and User Presets.
MP3/WMA/AAC Playback: This unit can play CD-ROM, DVD-R, DVD-RW, CD-R, and CD-RW discs containing MP3,
WMA, and AAC 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, and bit rates
of 16-320 kbps for AAC. Discs recorded using Joliet,
Romeo, or other ISO 9660 compliant formats can be played, but file and folder

IVA-D105 has a steering remote control input on the back panel. When used with
the optional SWI-JACK interface (item number 127SWIJACK), you can retain the use
of your factory steering wheel and/or rear seat radio controls when replacing
the factory head unit in select vehicles. The SWI-JACK is compatible with over
