clearly marked. The navigation

capabilities of the INE-S920HD

are ﬁrst rate and, with millions of

POIs, already in memory you'll be

able to ﬁnd pretty much anything

you're looking for.

Many larger vehicles and SUVs

have limited rear vision and if

you have a hard time seeing

what is directly behind you, you'll

appreciate the ability to connect

an optional rear view camera

or front view camera (or both)

via the INE-S920HD. When the

optional rear view camera is

connected, placing the vehicle in

reverse gear displays the camera

view on the screen and handy

guide marks for distance judging

are also displayed.

The built-in DVD player

provides crystal clear video on

the 800x480 resolution screen

from DVD or DivX sources. When

installed correctly, video lockouts

are provided to prevent the view-

ing of the DVD player when the

vehicle is in motion.

Naturally, the INE-S920HD

is fully compatible with Apple

devices and, when using an

iPhone, the Pandora app is

available by connecting to the

unit's USB port. For Android or

BlackBerry phones, the Pandora

app is accessed wirelessly via the

Bluetooth connection. When us-

ing Pandora, the full application

is available on screen, including

bookmarking, thumbs up/down

and song skipping.

The audio section of the INE-

S920HD is loaded with all sorts

of useful and cool features. Built

into the chassis is an 18-watt per

channel ampliﬁer and four-volt

front rear and subwoofer preouts.

The brains of the audio system

comes in the form of a power-

ful digital signal processor that

allows a vast array of adjustments

and tuning preferences. Features

like a nine-band parametric

equalizer, time correction for

improved stereo imaging and a

“Media Xpander” to improve the

sound of compressed ﬁles or even

HD Radio. There is also a built-in

high pass crossover for the front

and/or rear channels and a low

pass crossover for the subwoofer

outputs. The crossovers have 11

diﬀerent frequencies available

and independently-selectable lev-

els and slopes. Features like these

will make tuning a breeze! Also

included is a feature Alpine calls

iPersonalize. This function lets you

select your vehicle type, number

and location of speakers, and an

internal process calculates what

the sound ﬁeld settings should be.

I have had very limited success

with “auto-tune” functions from

any manufacturer, and always

prefer to do my own adjustments.

However, it’s there if you want to

give it a whirl.

CONTROLS AND ERGONOMICS

The ﬁrst things I look for when

evaluating any type of source

unit are ease of use and the

ability to control common func-

tions without looking. When it

comes to ease of use, Alpine has

consistently got fairly high marks

from me and the INE-S920HD

continues this trend. Obviously,

the most commonly used button

on almost any source unit is the

volume control. Regular readers

of my reviews know I am a pro-

ponent of rotary volume controls

on all automotive source units

and I'm pleased to see one on the

Alpine INE-S920HD. This type of

control falls easily to hand without

looking and, on this model, it has

the additional beneﬁt of incorpo-

rating a quick and easy press to

mute function. Of course, the new

My Favorites feature also goes a

long way to reduce the amount of

ﬁdgeting and adjusting needed

if you're not the only driver of the

vehicle. It is so cool having every-

thing set up just the way you want
