For consumers seeking sleek in-dash navigation options, Alpine Electronics of America, Inc. offers flexible options to suit consumers’ desires. With the all-in-one INA-W900 2-DIN Audio/Video/Navigation Receiver or the NVE-M300 GPS Navigation Drive, users can have a robust navigation system at their fingertips.

Both the INA-W900 and NVE-M300 offer Alpine’s innovative OnPoint™ Advanced GPS Positioning to deliver a superior navigation experience. OnPoint ensures that the vehicle stays accurately positioned on the map, even in areas where it’s difficult to receive GPS reception, such as in a tunnel or around tall buildings. OnPoint simultaneously uses three technologies to deliver advanced performance: satellite-linked GPS data, solid-state gyro sensor technology (to determine the vehicle’s direction) and accelerometer technology (to gauge the vehicle’s speed).

INA-W900 2-DIN Audio/Video/Navigation Receiver
The INA-W900 was designed to be easy to use. Source icons are big and bright for quick recognition. A simplified and intuitive interface allows drivers to easily manage navigation functions and audio features. Four hard buttons on the outer frame of the INA-W900 give quick access to the most frequently used audio and navigation menus.

NVE-M300 GPS Navigation Drive
The NVE-M300 can be added to one of several Alpine A/V head units or monitor to create a navigation system. Consumers can have a $1,000 digital media solution by combining the NVE-M300 with the iXA-W404 2-DIN Digital Media Receiver, which features a 4.3-inch touch screen that is optimized for iPod®/iPhone® playback. Alternatively, they can create a $1,250 premium system by using the NVE-M300 with the iXA-W407 2-DIN Digital Media Receiver, which has a 7-inch QVGA touch screen and built-in Bluetooth® wireless technology module. For a stand-alone navigation set up, the NVE-M300 can be connected to the new TME-S370 6.5-inch touch panel VGA monitor. Consumers who prefer a 1-DIN in-dash screen-based solution can add the NVE-M300 to the IVA-D106, a 1-DIN Mobile Media Receiver with motorized 7-inch QVGA touch-screen.
