High Resolution WVGA Touch Screen
The 8-inch high-resolution WVGA display allows full operation of the system via
touch-screen technology and features the latest video enhancement technology for
outstanding picture clarity, contrast and resolution. This allows navigation
maps to be displayed in stunning detail, while movies or video clips become a
real cinematic experience. The user interface is very intuitive and is designed
to perfectly integrate into your vehicle. You can choose from a variety of
screen colours and designs to best match your taste and vehicle.
8-inch Screen with 1 DIN chassis
More and more vehicles feature a dashboard space for a 7-inch or 8-inch screen,
however behind the screen there is no space to fit a full 2DIN product. The new
SMART is for example one of the vehicles with such dashboard design. Alpine
designed the X803DC-U to overcome this problem by putting a 1DIN chassis in the
back of a 8-inch screen. With a car specific Alpine installation kit you can
achieve a perfect installation and original manufacturer look.
Works with Apple CarPlay
The innovative X803DC-U with Apple CarPlay compatibility brings you a smarter
way to use your iPhone on the road. Apple CarPlay gives iPhone users an
incredibly intuitive way to make calls, use maps, listen to music and access
messages with just a word or a touch. You can even enjoy Spotify, internet radio
or podcasts while on the road for a truly connected experience. Simply connect
your CarPlay enabled iPhone to the USB port of your Alpine and you are ready to
go.
Works with Android Auto
Android Auto was designed with safety in mind. With a simple and intuitive
interface, integrated steering wheel controls, and powerful new voice actions,
it's designed to minimize distraction so you can stay focused on the road.
Android Auto automatically brings you useful information, and organizes it into
simple cards that appear just when they're needed. Both Apple CarPlay and
Android Auto can access the navigation antenna of the X803DC-U for highest
accuracy when using the navi apps.
DAB+ Digital Radio
The built-in DAB/DAB+/DMB tuner uses the most advanced digital technology to
deliver radio reception in outstanding, noise-free sound quality. DAB+ also
offers many other advantages over traditional FM radio: select from a much wider
range of radio stations and after an initial station scan you can easily select
your desired channels from an alphabetic and genre list of available stations.
Connect USB and HDMI Sources
You can connect USB sticks and portable hard drives to
playback audio and MP4 video files. The X803DC-U is also equipped with an HDMI
input to connect the optional Alpine DVD player DVE-5300 or
any other portable media player with HDMI output. You can also connect your
smartphone if an HDMI adapter for your phone model is available to enjoy the
video or photo content on the Alpine screen (requires additional cables and
adapters). The X803DC-U includes an HDMI output as well to connect a rear
monitor system via HDMI.
Note: The HDMI output is a pass-through of the HDMI input and can therefore not
be used to output USB video content, Apple CarPlay or Android Auto content or
navigation map display.
High-end Sound Tuning Options
The X803DC-U puts the power of advanced sound processing in your car with BASS
ENGINE SQ to maximise bass sound and overall tone balance, plus lots of custom
tuning functions like Digital Time Correction, Digital X-Over and Dual 9-band
Parametric EQ. Best of all, you can set them easily from your smartphone with
the Alpine TuneIt App. You also get Media Xpander, 24-Bit DAC and 3 PreOuts (2
Volt) as well.
Hi-Res Audio Playback
This Alpine unit can playback audio files in FLAC format – including 24/96 and
24/192 Hi-Res Audio compatibility.
Built-in iGo Primo NextGen Navigation
The iGo Primo NextGen navigation is currently one of the best navigation
software on the market. Combined with Alpine’s powerful hardware and processing
power, you get a highly accurate and super fast navigation system for your car.
For example, calculating a route from Munich to Paris takes just a few seconds.
The system is packed with tons of useful and unique navigation features, from
partial address input with automatic detection, TMC route guidance, 3D landmark
icons and much more. It also includes hundreds of thousands of POIs, to make it
easy to find restaurants and any kind of public places near you.
TomTom Maps with 3 Years Free-of-charge updates
A navigation system is only as good as its map database:
the X803DC-U includes TomTom maps for an awesome map coverage of 48 European
countries. Within 3 years after the first navigation fix, you can go to alpine.naviextras.com to
download map updates free of charge for your Alpine unit – you can even do so
without any limitation on how often you update. After 3 years have passed, you
can download regional map packages or the full European map update based on your
needs for very reasonable cost.
Set your vehicle’s measurements
The big advantage of this navigation product is that you can input your
vehicle’s height, length, width, weight, and if you tow a trailer or not. These
parameters are then considered when a route is calculated, to avoid results that
are inappropriate for your specific vehicle.
Set your cargo parameters
The type of cargo you transport is equally important then a truck’s measurements
and weight: many areas have strict regulations when it comes to dangerous goods
and can not be entered if a specific cargo type is loaded. This navigation unit
allows you to input the type of cargo (such as explosives, flammable or non-flammable
gas, poisonous substances, etc) to avoid that any route calculation includes
restricted areas.
Online Navigation with Apple CarPlay
When you’re driving, Maps helps you find the way to your destination with turn-by-turn
spoken directions and new, easier-to-read visuals. When a turn is coming up, the
view zooms in to show you exactly where to go. Along the way, large signs and
arrows guide you in the right direction and let you know how long it’s going to
take to get there. Looking for a gas station, restaurant, or coffee shop along
your route? New buttons on the navigation screen help you quickly find the
closest places and estimate how much time the detour will add to your trip. If
you push the navigation hard-key on your X803DC-U twice, you active Apple
CarPlay navigation without going through many menu points.
Online Navigation with Android Auto
Let Google Maps lead the way. It’s easy to get where you’re going with free
voice-guided navigation, live traffic information, lane guidance, and more.
Whether on your phone screen or on your car display, Android Auto was designed
with safety in mind. With larger touch targets, a simplified interface, and easy-to-use
voice actions, it's designed to minimize distraction so you can stay focused on
the road. The X803DC-U works seamlessly with Android Auto and Google maps.
Android Auto can even access the Alpine navigation antenna for highest
positioning accuracy.
GPS and Glonass Compatible
More satellites equal higher navigation accuracy and a faster positioning fix.
This Alpine product is compatible with GPS satellite signals and can also
receive positioning data from Glonass satellites. This brings big advantages
especially in an urban environment with many tall buildings and when driving
next to high mountains. When using navigation with Apple CarPlay and Glonass you
can also benefit from this new improved compatibility.
Built-in Bluetooth® Technology
The built-in Bluetooth® module allows wireless connection of a mobile phone for
hands-free communication. A very intuitive user interface makes it very easy to
set microphone and speaker volume. It also includes a speed dial function for
the most frequently called numbers. Bluetooth® also enables audio streaming from
the phone: audio content or even internet radio can be wirelessly transferred to
your Alpine unit.
Vehicle Data-Bus Connectivity
If your car is equipped with parking sensors, you can continue to use this
convenient function with your X803DC-U. Alpine offers vehicle data-bus
interfaces to connect your navigation system to your vehicle. This enables
compatibility with your vehicle’s steering wheel control buttons, display of air
conditioning settings as well parking sensor display. You can even see
navigation turn-by-turn arrows in your multi-function display in the instrument
cluster (if the vehicle supports it).
Drive-Assist Cameras
A rear view camera is a great way to make reversing safer. The camera image
automatically comes on when you shift into reverse, and distance guides that can
be adjusted to match your car size will appear on the screen to help you safely
park your car. Alpine offers a wide variety of front and rear facing cameras,
including multi-view cameras with selectable viewing angles and touch-control
from your screen. You can even view the camera screen and parking sensor screen
simultaneously.
Favourites
Wouldn’t it be convenient to have an app that shows you all your favourite phone
numbers, radio stations, frequent navigation destinations and more on a single
glance?! Favourites is just that. Simply hold the audio button for one second to
activate the Favourites view and you are ready to go.
Voice Control
Push the VOICE button on your Alpine unit or your steering wheel buttons (if
supported) to activate SIRI or OK Google. You can simply call people, enter
navigation destinations, write and send messages or simply say the song or
playlist you like to listen to – just to name a few examples. This is a very convenient
way to control your Alpine system while keeping your eyes on the road.
