Alpine INE-Z928HD New for 2012

bigaudiofanat · 02-15-2012, 12:19 PM

Alpine was alive and well in the North Hall and the new INE-Z928HD AVN (Audio/Video/Navigation) DVD receiver is a big deal for the company. It's squarely taking aim at the 12-volt aftermarket and competing with some of the big names that have dominated that segment for some time. Alpine claims it as the first AVN system with a full 8-inch WVGA screen, but whose chassis fits into a standard 2-DIN opening. We weren't the only ones who were impressed, the INE-Z928HD won a 2012 CES Innovations Award in the In-Vehicle Audio/Video category.

The INE-Z928HD include Pandora Internet Radio control and station creation from iPhone, Android, and BlackBerry smartphones. It has a built-in HD Radio receiver and is compatible with SiriusXM (a separate tuner and subscription are required). You can also play back music from an iPod or iPhone, but it doesn't appear to have video support for either. The INE-Z928HD makes every source sound better with its 4-volt preamp outputs and easy car-specific sound setup.

Additional technology features include:

Built-in Bluetooth wireless technology, with audio streaming, call waiting and fast phone book search
Completely new 3D WVGA navigation platform, with over 6 million Points of Interest (POI) and free lifetime TMC traffic monitoring
To accommodate the 8-inch screen into vehicles, Alpine will offer multiple Perfect FIT (Factory Integration Technology) installation kits for the INE-Z928HD. Installation kits for ten vehicle platforms, representing popular models accounting for over 2 million annual U.S. vehicle sales, will be available when the unit goes on sale (each kit sold separately). Besides being cosmetically matched for each vehicle platform, the kits also come with vehicle-specific wiring harnesses and installation accessories for a direct plug-and-play connection to the INE-Z928HD.

The Alpine INE-Z928HD and Perfect FIT Kits should begin hitting the market in June. Retail pricing is still being finalized but the unit should be priced around $1300 or so based on past product history.

As far as I know they were never low resolution, just the gps maps were...dated

Wow! This may be on my new list. Was looking @ the Pioneer SPH-DA100 APP Radio 2. I may end up with both! One for the truck and the other in the Z!

bigaudiofanat · 02-15-2012, 08:52 PM

LIke I keep saying in my posts, WAIT until all the new units are out, or you could regret it.

I honestly was going to go with the W910 but now I am going to wait for this, it is even better.

MattP725 · 02-15-2012, 09:12 PM

It would be nice if the 8" fit into the base model 2-DIN openning... wonder how they plan on selling a bunch if they are only making a small number of kits.

It will fit just fine in a standard opening, they are just making there own kit to make it look like it goes with the dash.

Their big one is for the Camaro

Jjaden · 02-28-2012, 05:24 PM

Looks cool. I'd heeding your advice and waiting for all the new units to come out but so far this looks like the one I could go with for the install.

sceptre155 · 02-28-2012, 07:02 PM

Head units that run on Android would be interesting.....

NickBaragona · 03-01-2012, 02:23 PM

I'm also interested in the Android support. I just installed F.I. CBE and LTH so will probably wait until next year for an upgrade of this price range.
