Leave your CDs at home — Alpine designed the iDA-X100 digital media receiver to be the most intuitive solution for using an iPod in your car. Use the over-sized jog dial and full-colour 2.2" display to locate your favourite tunes, and you'll feel like you're using the iPod itself. It'll even display album art from your iPod.

Connect the latest iPods and other portable audio sources to the receiver's USB input, or you can use Alpine's optional KCE-422i cable to set up a "Full Speed" connection with older iPods. You get easy and fast music selection and the best possible sound quality.

Simple iPod navigation and control
The centrally located jog dial mimics the functions of an iPod's click wheel. Turn it a little to access Search mode, then scroll line-by-line. Turn and hold the knob to move to Alphabet Search mode — now you can scroll through the letters of the alphabet to jump quickly through your lists of artists, albums, or songs. The current song keeps playing, so you won't interrupt the music while you're searching. The convenient "Back" button that lets you backtrack through the menus, instead of starting over from the top.

Flexible system-building options
This versatile stereo works with all of Alpine's peripheral gear, including satellite radio, auxiliary input adapter, add-on USB input, CD changer, or HD Radio™ tuner. Add Alpine's optional KCE-300BT Bluetooth® interface, and you'll be able to mute the music, answer an incoming call, or place a call with a touch of a button. You can also stream music from a music phone or Bluetooth capable music player.

Setting up a system with external amplifiers or subwoofers? You'll love the three sets of preamp outputs and the ability to control the subwoofer's output level from the stereo. Add the combination of Alpine's PXA-H100 IMPRINT sound processor and the KTX-H100 tuning kit and you'll turn your vehicle into the perfect listening space — the IMPRINT measures your car's acoustics and adjusts the stereo's settings automatically to create a perfect audio environment.

Note: If you're going to use your iPod with this receiver, be sure to check "Hands-on Research" for specific iPod model compatibility with this receiver or its optional iPod adapter.
