Designed for Volkswagen T5 (7H/E/J) model year 09/2009 - 06/2015 and T6 (7H/E/J) from model year 07/2016 

The INE-F904T6 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 VW T5 and T6.

1-DIN chassis - 9-inch screen

The INE-F904T6 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 while driving and does not shake.

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 function and design.

Adjustable installation angle

You can set the angle of inclination of the INE-F904T6 from +45 degrees to -20 degrees before installation and thus adapt it to the conditions in the vehicle. Once 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 continue to focus on traffic. 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 as you drive.

Spotify

For all Spotify users, there is now also an app available to 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 via 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 exactly the right 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, cafés 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 to recognize long traffic jams in good time and avoid them accordingly. The INE-F904T6 works seamlessly with Android Auto and Google Maps.

Voice control

Press the voice selection 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 safely and conveniently while driving with weather forecasts, traffic information, music selection, calendar entries and much more.

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 quick alphabetical search. A very intuitive user interface makes operation a breeze. 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-F904T6 is also equipped with an HDMI input for connecting the optional Alpine DVE-5300 DVD player or another portable media player with HDMI output.

Integrated DAB+ Digital Radio

Radio reception with superior 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-F904T6 offers the option of optimizing the bass sound and the entire 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 you can 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 included

The INE-F904T6 is supplied with all the necessary installation and connection materials. Included are, among other things, a vehicle-specific connection harness, a CAN bus interface, an antenna adapter with phantom power and the steering wheel remote control adapter for the continued use of the steering wheel buttons with the Halo9.

Rear view camera

A rear view camera is a great way to make reversing safer. The camera image switches on automatically when you put the car into reverse. Distance guides appear on the screen that can be adjusted to the size of your vehicle. This allows you to park your vehicle safely.

Supports many basic functions of the steering wheel remote control

The Alpine system communicates perfectly with your vehicle's multifunction steering wheel. This means that you do not lose this practical function when you upgrade to the Alpine system. You have control over volume, telephone (answer/hang up), track search forward/backward and other functions. And if a smartphone is connected to the system, you can even activate voice control such as "Siri" via the steering wheel.

Multifunction display (MFA) support

The multifunction display (MFA) in the instrument cluster is connected to the Alpine system and can display station names, song title and artist information, caller names and much more.
