Alpine ipod ready head units

Now there’s even more choice for iPod owners from Alpine, as the company has introduced two new head units which can be used with the MP3 player. The iDA-X100 and iDA-X200 join the iDA-X300 (Issue 1,018) and can be made Bluetooth compatible by adding the KCE-300BT accessory. Voice dialling and phonebook transfer are completed using the technology, and music stored on your mobile can be streamed to the unit. As well as offering hands-free calling, the units have Alpine’s IMPRINT technology, which allows users to match the sound to their car’s acoustics.

The top-of-the-range iDA-X100 has a 2.5-inch full colour screen that displays album artwork. Selecting a track is made easy with the jog dial, while a USB port allows the connection of a compatible MP3 player. All are capable of playing MP3 discs and controlling CD changers.
