The 2nd generation of the Alpine Halo9 

The Alpine Halo9 has become one of the most popular car radios in the world and has received numerous industry awards for its outstanding concept and design. We have further developed this successful car radio and made it even more attractive. The 2nd generation of the Alpine Halo9 has a high-resolution HD touchscreen, Apple CarPlay Wireless, two USB ports, further perfected sound quality and many other innovations and improvements.

9-inch WXGA touchscreen in HD quality

The large 23 cm (9-inch) HD touchscreen has a resolution of 1280 x 720p (WXGA) - this means that symbols, menus and visual content are now displayed even more clearly and vividly on your dashboard. The continuously tiltable screen is firmly connected to the 1-DIN housing and can be inserted into almost all 1-DIN or 2-DIN openings.

Apple CarPlay Wireless

For even more convenience, the iLX-F905D offers wireless connection to the iPhone via Apple CarPlay Wireless. This means that iPhone users can leave their phone in their pocket in the vehicle and conveniently make calls, check and answer text messages, use music apps and even navigate. Apple CarPlay can be accessed via the capacitive touchscreen or the voice selection button to activate Siri voice control.

2x USB ports

The Alpine Halo9 does not have a mechanical drive (CD/DVD) and offers you the necessary media variety on your travels with two USB ports. With the USB ports on the back of the device, you can, for example, connect a mobile device for charging, while you can connect a USB stick or hard drive via the second USB port to access audio and video files.

Adjustable display

With five height settings, free angle selection in the inclination and two separate depth settings, you can adjust the display to the optimal position. This means you can still ensure access to your controls and ventilation openings in the dashboard. The display can be continuously adjusted in inclination at any time for optimal readability and to avoid sun reflections.

The world's first head unit with an integrated Class D amplifier

The iLX-F905D is the world's first head unit for the aftermarket to have an integrated Class D amplifier with 4x 50 watts of power. This amplifier has excellent high-end sound reproduction with extremely reduced noise and barely measurable phase shifts. The main advantage of Class D amplifier technology is the high efficiency of around 90%, compared to 50-70% for Class AB amplifiers. A new cooling concept with internal heat sinks ensures that your Alpine Halo11 always has the right working temperature - and plays your favorite music. Enjoy the excellent sound quality With a 56-band parametric equalizer, digital crossover, 6-channel digital time correction and several Bass Engine SQ presets and MediaXpander sound tuning options, you have excellent options at your disposal to perfectly tune your Alpine Halo9 car radio or connected amplifier/speaker systems.

The optional rear view camera systems offer even more safety with the latest camera technology. The rear view camera is automatically activated when reversing and interrupts the audio signal so that you can still hear the parking sensors. Not only do you have a clear view to the rear, but you also have special guide lines. You can even activate a hitch guide line to make hooking up your trailer much easier. A camera direct button is provided for quick camera access while driving.
