- Display Colors: You can choose from four different
background colors for the display; Blue, Red, Green, or Amber.

Simultaneous Mode: You can watch the video portion of another source
on the unit's touchscreen monitor, while listening to the audio over your car
speakers from the current source.

listen to your music. This will reduce power consumption and enhance sound
quality.
Video Lock-out Feature: For
safety and legal reasons, the IVE-W530 features a video lock-out feature to
prevent the driver from viewing 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. This also pertains to the receiver's
System & Audio Setup Menus.
Hard-key Buttons: In addition to the touchscreen controls, the unit
includes frequently used buttons and a rotary dial along the left-edge of the
screen. You can adjust the brightness of the button lighting at night from -2 to
+2.
2-DIN Chassis: The Alpine IVE-W530 has a 2-DIN chassis (also
known as Double DIN), and will fit in many vehicles with a large dash opening.
The unit can be ISO-mounted using factory brackets, or Euro-mounted using the
supplied mounting sleeve. As always, please consult Crutchfield's
Outfit My Car to verify fit with your vehicle.
Built-in Bluetooth
Bluetooth Technology (powered by Parrot): The Alpine
IVE-W530 features built-in Bluetooth technology (v3.0), powered by Parrot.
Parrot is the global leader in wireless devices for mobile phones, for expanded
compatibility for many Bluetooth wireless technology enabled cell phones. The
head unit's built-in Bluetooth allows you to make and receive phone calls
wirelessly through the receiver; as well as stream music wirelessly from your
smartphone to the head unit.
Bluetooth Profiles: In order to use Bluetooth wireless
technology, your phone must also be Bluetooth compatible and be able to
interpret certain profiles. This unit is compatible with the following Bluetooth
Profiles:
- Hands-Free Communication: HFP (Hands Free Profile), HSP
(Head Set Profile), OPP (Object Push Profile), PBAB (Phone Book Access
Profile).
- Audio Streaming: A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution
Profile), AVRCP (Audio/Video Remote Control Profile).
Pairing: The Alpine IVE-W530 can be paired to up to three
Bluetooth enabled mobile devices (only one device can be used at a time). Due to the differences in Bluetooth technology,
some Bluetooth enabled devices may be incompatible, function improperly, or
may not support all features when used with the Alpine IVE-W530. Parrot
software updates provide support for future phones.
External Microphone with Noise Cancellation: The included
external microphone (with visor-clip) allows you to speak to the other party on
the telephone call hands-free, while the other party's voice is played through
your car stereo speakers. The external microphone is tuned and engineered to
reduce noise interference and feedback. This allows optimal placement in your
car, for the best possible sound quality. You can adjust the microphone's volume
level; and even mute the microphone, so your voice will not be heard by the
caller. The external microphone measures 0.75"
(diameter) x 1.3125" (deep); and features an attached 13' cable terminated by
a male 3.5mm connector.
Receiving Calls: The Alpine IVE-W530 provides a couple
ways to answer your phone calls without picking up your mobile phone. Incoming
calls are announced by a caller ring tone through your vehicle's speakers (music
will be muted) & a Caller ID message across your Alpine head unit's
touchscreen display.
- Manual Answer: Manually answer an incoming call by
pressing the "Phone" button on your Alpine head unit.
- Automatic Answer: Set the Alpine head unit to answer
the incoming call automatically; when a call is received, it is answered
automatically after approximately 5 seconds.
- Call Waiting: If a second call is received during a
current call, you can have the first caller wait momentarily while you take
the second call. When you are finished with one call, you can switch to the
other.
Placing Calls: The Alpine IVE-W530 provides a variety of
functions for placing a phone call without using your mobile phone. The Alpine
IVE-W530 features full phone book access, call history, voice tag dialing,
and redial with compatible phones.
- Voice Dialing: If you have a voice-dial capable phone,
you can dial a phone contact by simply speaking the name of your contact.

number directly from the unit's on-screen keyboard.
- Phonebook (with ABC search): Up to 1,000 entries (5
telephone numbers for each name) can be downloaded from your compatible

for one-touch dialing to make a call easily.
- Call History: The 60 previously dialed, received, or
missed numbers can be retrieved and dialed from memory.
- Redial: You can redial a previous call by pressing the "Phone"
button on front of the head unit within 5 seconds of ending the call.
Call Switch: This function allows you to initiate the
transfer of audio between your mobile phone and your car's speakers.
Audio Streaming: The Alpine IVE-W530 can stream music
from you Bluetooth A2DP/AVRCP mobile device. Not only can it control & stream
your music through Bluetooth, it can process your music using its built-in DSP
Sound Expansion to ensure you get the best sound. Basic playback functions
include; Play, Pause, Fast Forward/Rewind, Previous/Next, & Random/Repeat. The head unit will also display
your stored music's song information; such as Artist name & Song/Album title.
The IVE-W530 also supports audio streaming of music apps on your
Bluetooth-enabled smartphone, but without control or metadata. You will continue
to use your Bluetooth enabled smartphone to view and control streaming music
apps. When an incoming call or outgoing call is in
progress from your Bluetooth enabled mobile phone, audio streaming will be
paused so you can take your call. Once the call is finished, your streaming
music will resume.
Note:
Bluetooth Firmware Update v01.27.00 is required for Bluetooth control
and song information display from an Apple iOS 6.0+ device.
Volume Adjustments: You can emphasize or weaken the volume
level of the phone caller, the ring tone, and the microphone input to fit your
own preference.

- Two Minijack (3.5mm) A/V Inputs: The unit features a
front-panel & rear-panel 3.5mm audio/video input on for connecting a
temporary external A/V source, such as your portable MP3 player. The
rear-panel 3.5mm input is also used in conjunction with Alpine's proprietary
iPod cable (500KCU461V, sold separately) to connect your iPod/iPhone for
