Alpine INE-F904DU8 - 1-DIN navigation

INE-F904DU8 - All in One Navigation with 9-inch display especially for Fiat Ducato (from 2022)

The new "Alpine Halo9 Navi" offers the iGo Primo NextGen motorhome navigation with TomTom maps for 48 countries and 3 years of free map updates. You can also use navigation apps (such as Google Maps, Waze, etc.) with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. With this great system you also get DAB+ digital radio, USB video playback, Bluetooth hands-free and audio streaming, high-end sound quality and helpful sound tuning options. The INE-F904DU8 comes with a custom-fit cover frame, mounting brackets, a vehicle-specific wiring harness with CAN interface and an antenna adapter. The CAN interface supports existing steering wheel remote control buttons.

Motorhome navigation: travel relaxed and in style

Your Alpine system comes with pre-installed map data for 48 European countries. You can easily purchase additional countries and regions online and expand your map data (including the USA, Canada and many more). It features the latest navigation software iGo Primo nextgen and is compatible with both GPS and Glonass for the highest location accuracy. The TomTom navigation maps can be updated free of charge for 3 years.

Motorhome vehicle profiles

You can choose between 3 different motorhome profiles (small, medium or large motorhome) or create your own profile. The Alpine system takes into account the dimensions and weight of your vehicle and only suggests routes that are suitable for your vehicle. *This function will be available from spring 2020.

3D maps & speed information

View maps in 3D with detailed buildings and landmarks. This function helps you find your way around big cities better. The display of the speed limit and speed camera warnings (optionally available) are other driver assistance functions.

POI search and pitch data

The INE-F904DU8 includes thousands of campsites across Europe. The parking space information from Bordatlas is also pre-installed. You can also add an optional camper POI database later. Such databases can be purchased online and then imported into the system as a kml file.

TMC route guidance / lane assistant

The lane assistant shows the driver the correct lane, while the TMC (dynamic route guidance) provides live traffic information so that you can avoid traffic jams and the route is recalculated if necessary.

Destination entry via geocoordinates

Many good parking spaces or places of interest are located off the main roads without clear addresses or street names. With the INE-F904DU you can enter your own geo-coordinates to determine your destination and be navigated directly to your destination.

TomTom maps: 3 years of free map updates

A navigation system is only as good as its database: The INE-F904DU is equipped with a TomTom map database for great map coverage of 48 European countries. Within 3 years of first use you can download free map updates for your Alpine system at alpine.naviextras.com. You can update the maps as often as you like within the 3 years without any restrictions. You can then carry out further updates at very low cost.

park4night Inside

This navigation system comes with the popular park4night parking space guide pre-installed for you. The extensive database offers over 120,000 parking spaces throughout Europe and can be accessed offline on your screen at any time. You can search for your next parking space by category, country, region, along your route or for a travel destination. The corresponding symbols give you additional information on the available services (e.g. availability of WiFi or wastewater disposal) and opening times of the individual parking spaces. To make the best possible selection of suitable parking spaces, you can display the distance, many ratings, comments and even pictures. As soon as a suitable parking space has been found, you can navigate there at the touch of a button. Using the stored telephone numbers, the parking space operator can be reached directly and easily via the hands-free system on your Alpine device during route planning. The annual update of the park4night database on the Alpine device can be carried out at any time if required (for a fee). park4night inside is pre-installed from the delivery date of June 1, 2020. You can expand park4night on all INE-F904DU purchased before June 1, 2020 with the park4night function. The update package for park4night MHS-P4N is available in the Alpine webshop as an update stick.

Designed for Fiat Ducato 8

The INE-F904DU8 is a DAB+ car radio with a 9-inch WVGA touchscreen. A 1-DIN chassis is used for easy installation. The screen "floats" in front of the vehicle's dashboard. This design makes it possible to add a particularly easy-to-read screen to your Fiat Ducato 8.

1-DIN chassis - 9-inch screen

The INE-F904DU8 has a 1-DIN chassis that is compatible with any vehicle with a 1-DIN or 2-DIN installation slot. The 9-inch touchscreen is attached to the front of the 1-DIN chassis with particularly sturdy metal clips so that the large display always remains easy to read and does not shake while driving.

Flat, frameless design

The 9-inch touchscreen sits in a slim, frameless housing and is framed by an elegant chrome band. In combination with the touch sensors in the lower area, this system looks simply breathtaking and very modern in terms of function and design.

Adjustable installation angle

You can set the angle of inclination of the INE-F904DU from +45 degrees to -20 degrees before installation and thus adapt it to the conditions in the vehicle. After the angle of inclination has been set, it is screwed firmly to the housing during installation and thus offers sufficient stability and safety even while driving.

Adjustable height and depth

The height of the display can be changed by +/- 3 cm from the middle position before installation. This makes hidden switches and buttons in the dashboard freely accessible again. In addition, the installation depth and thus the distance between the dashboard and the display can also be adjusted within a range of 20 mm before installation.

Works with Apple CarPlay

Simply connect your iPhone to the USB port on your Alpine Halo9 and start Apple CarPlay. Your favorite smartphone apps are then available for communication, navigation, and music entertainment. Most apps are optimized for Siri voice control. This means you can always give your full attention to the traffic. Apple CarPlay is compatible with iPhone 5 and above.

Works with Android Auto

Android Auto was designed primarily with road safety in mind. With a simple and intuitive user interface, integrated steering wheel controls and a new powerful voice control, it is able to minimize distraction so that you can stay focused on the road. Android Auto automatically brings you useful information and easily organizes the best map views for you when you need it.

WhatsApp

Now available for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto! Use WhatsApp to communicate with your friends safely and conveniently while you drive. You can dictate new messages or have Siri read messages for you while you drive.

Spotify

For all Spotify users, an app is now also available for use in your vehicle. Spotify is available for both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and has the same search and playback features as the app on your smartphone.

Amazon Music

This is a great app for all Amazon Prime Music users. This app is available for both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. With this app you can access millions of music tracks on the go and control everything from the Alpine 9-inch touchscreen display.

Waze

Available for Android Auto. Waze is a community-based navigation app that shows the location of your friends, road hazards, police checkpoints and much more.

Online navigation with Apple CarPlay

Use your iPhone safely on the road. Apple CarPlay in the dashboard is the perfect solution for this. All important driving instructions and information are displayed on the screen with large directional arrows. You can also search for gas stations, restaurants, cafes and many other POIs along the route. With just two quick clicks on the navigation symbol on the Alpine system, you are directly in the Apple CarPlay menu and can easily use all functions.

Online navigation with Android Auto

Use your Android smartphone together with the Alpine system on the 9-inch screen to access all official Android Auto apps and OK Google. With voice control, entering addresses becomes a minor matter without any distractions, and access to live traffic information helps you recognize long traffic jams in good time and avoid them accordingly. The INE-F904DU works seamlessly with Android Auto and Google Maps.

Voice control

Press the voice button on your Alpine device or the steering wheel buttons (if supported) to activate Siri or OK Google. You can easily call contacts, ask for directions, write and send messages, ask for weather forecasts and much more.

Supports Google voice control

Activate Google voice control with the voice button on the Android Auto display or directly on the Alpine Halo9 and let Google support you while driving with weather forecasts, traffic information, music selection, calendar entries and much more in a safe and convenient way.

Bluetooth® technology

Thanks to the integrated Bluetooth® compatibility, it is possible to establish a wireless connection to a Bluetooth®-enabled phone for hands-free calling. It supports most Bluetooth®-enabled mobile phones and gives you easy access to your phone book with automatic updates and fast alphabetical search. A very intuitive user interface makes operation child's play. Of course, you can stream music from your mobile phone and compatibility with AVRCP version 1.5 makes browsing your archives even easier.

USB and HDMI

You can connect USB sticks and portable hard drives to play audio and MP4 video files. The INE-F904DU is also equipped with an HDMI input for connecting the optional Alpine DVE-5300 DVD player or another portable media player with an HDMI output.

Integrated DAB+ Digital Radio

Radio reception with outstanding digital sound quality - that's what the integrated DAB+ tuner stands for, which boasts superior reception technology. It always offers you extremely accurate, transparent sound. For uninterrupted reception, the tuner offers DAB+ to DAB+ Service Following, SLS (text information accompanying the program), Radio VIS (station cover on your radio display) and other useful information. If no DAB+ signal is available, the device automatically switches between DAB+ and FM operation.

High-end sound settings

With BASS ENGINE SQ, the INE-F904DU offers the option of optimizing the bass sound and the overall sound reproduction in your vehicle. In addition, many user-defined setting functions such as digital time correction, digital crossovers and the parametric 9-band EQ sound setting are available. Or simply use all setting options directly on your smartphone via the Alpine TuneIt app. The sound package is rounded off with the Media Xpander, a 24-bit D/A converter and 3 preamplifier outputs (4 volts).

Mounting material for Fiat Ducato 8 included 

The INE-F904DU is supplied with all the necessary installation and connection materials. This includes a vehicle-specific connection harness, an antenna adapter and a Can-Bus interface for further use of the steering wheel buttons with the Halo9.

HDR camera extension

An HDR reversing camera offers a great way to make reversing safer. The camera image switches on automatically when you put the car into reverse. Distance guide lines appear on the screen that can be adjusted to the size of your vehicle. This allows you to park your vehicle safely. All camera systems can be connected to the system (adaptation may be required).
