Display Features
Motorized 7.0" Wide Touch Screen Display: The INA-W900BT has a motorized
7.0" touch screen monitor (with
16:9 aspect ratio) that serves as a video monitor and system information
display. The unit's touch screen provides audible and visual confirmation of commands.
For better visibility you can adjust the monitor's angle; choose flat or one of
five settings angled upward.
Video Lock-out Feature: For
safety and legal reasons, the INA-W900BT 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.
Display Modes: You can select
one of the following display modes:
- Mode 1 (Wide): evenly
stretches a 4:3 picture horizontally to fit the widescreen monitor
- Mode 2 (Cinema): displays
a 4:3 picture by stretching out the picture horizontally and vertically;
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
TV Screen Mode: This feature
allows you to select the aspect ratio of any back seat monitor(s); choose from 4:3 Letter Box, 4:3
Pan and Scan, 16:9 Widescreen.

Navigation
Flash Memory Navigation: Alpine has the Navteq map database
loaded in its internal flash memory; the maps cover the entire United States
(including Alaska and Hawaii), Canada, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. The
database provides approximately 6 million points-of-interest (POIs) in various
categories throughout the coverage area. You can search for a POI near your
current location, near your destination, along your current route, or near a
specific city.
Positioning Technology: The INA-W900BT uses Alpine's OnPoint
Advanced GPS Positioning, ensuring your vehicle stays accurately positioned on
the map even in areas where it's difficult to receive GPS reception, such as in
a tunnel or around tall buildings. OnPoint simultaneously uses three
technologies - satellite-linked positioning data, gyro sensor technology (to
determine the vehicle's direction) and accelerometer technology (to gauge the
vehicle's speed) - resulting in continuous coverage of the location of your
vehicle.
Voice Guidance/Text to Speech: In addition to graphical
on-screen directions and maps, the INA-W900BT provides voice guidance and
turn-by-turn directions, capable of text-to-speech (TTS), announcing the street
names along with the turn directions. Directions can be announced in English,
French, or Spanish.
Map Orientation: The INA-W900BT provides three Map
Orientations, choose from North Up, Heading Up, or 3D View:
- North Up: north is always at the top of the display;
this makes it easy to determine your current heading with respect to the map
- Heading Up: the current direction is always pointing to
the top of the display; this makes it easy to see the direction of the next
turn on the map
- 3D View: offers you a more realistic perspective by
tilting the map and displaying it with a horizon line; streets are displayed
as you approach them instead of from a birds-eye view
Map Color: The INA-W900BT offers 12 color settings for the map
screen.
Setting A Destination: The Alpine INA-W900BT offers several
ways to select a destination:
- Home: save your home address so you can quickly
navigate to your house from anywhere
- Address: enter a specific street address as your
destination; Alpine's Smart Key Filtering program highlights only the
possible next letters as you spell street names, city names, or POI names
- Places (POI): select from approximately 6 million
Point-of-Interest (POI) locations stored on the flash drive; destinations
are sorted by POI Name or by POI Category and are listed in order of
distance from your current location; search near your current location, near
your destination, along your current route, or near a specific city
- History: choose from recent destinations
- Address Book: save frequented locations in the unit's
address book to quickly add as a destination
- Intersection: enter a street name (you can first enter
a city) and choose from the intersecting streets
- Coordinates: enter Latitude and Longitude coordinates
as your destination
Route Calculations: Navigation settings allow you to have
the unit calculate routes based on quickest time or shortest route. You can also
avoid highways, toll roads, and ferries.
Waypoints: You can set up to three waypoints between your
current location and your destination. The final destination must be set before
entering any waypoints.
GuideView Window: Alpine's GuideView Window gives you a
picture-in-picture navigation window while the unit is in audio display mode.
The GuideView Window displays the next maneuver as you head towards your
destination. When you are not routing towards a specific destination, the
GuideView Window displays a digital compass, the street you're on, and the
city/state you're in, allowing you to view and control your music playback and
still see your next turn.
Map Updates: Future mapping and Point of Interest
information updates are likely to be available from Alpine and are input using
the SD card slot above the DVD slot behind the touch screen (the SD card slot
only used for navigation updates).

Rear Entertainment Function:
The rear entertainment function independently routes different sources to the
front and rear of the vehicle. For example, while listening to the radio or other
audio source in the front, a DVD can be enjoyed in the rear with an optional
rear monitor and headphones; the rear zone signals are passed by RCA composite
video and stereo RCA preamp audio connections.
Interrupt Feature (NAV.MIX): The volume of the voice guidance
commands from the navigation system is adjustable, relative to the main volume.
IMPRINT Sound Upgradeable: The INA-W900BT is IMPRINT ready.

sold separately) for automatic sound tuning or powerful manual tuning options.
IMPRINT automatically measures the entire listening area, capturing time domain
and frequency response information from each listening location to process and
improve the sound at every seat in your vehicle. Precise control and corrections
yield enhanced sound so you can enjoy an optimal listening experience. The
IMPRINT audio processor allows you to customize your crossover adjustments so
you can control where you send your high and low frequencies. It also provide
detailed equalizer adjustments.
