The Alpine Halo9 plays Hi-Res music at it's intended spec of 96kHz/24Bit via a wired USB connection to a smartphone or wirelessly through Bluetooth connection. You can also purchase and download Hi-Res music files onto a USB drive from platforms like HDtracks and plug directly into the Alpine Halo9 for Hi-Res playback.

Apple CarPlay®

The iLX-F509 Works with Apple CarPlay® and lets iPhone users make and receive calls, access text messages, play music, and get directions in a way that allows them to stay focused on the road. Apple CarPlay® is accessed through the capacitive touchscreen or the mic button to activate Siri voice control and is compatible with iPhone 5 and later. Wireless and Wired options available.

Android Auto™

The iLX-F509 includes Android Auto and works with the Google Assistant (requires both a USB cable and Bluetooth connection; requires an Android phone running 5.0 [Lollipop] or higher and the Android Auto app).

To access the Google Assistant on Android Auto, say “OK Google” or select the mic button. Google Assistant in Android Auto allows users to play their favorite music, get driving directions to their destination, interact with smart home devices, and reply to text messages – hands-free. Wireless and Wired options available.

Onboard Audio Tools

The Alpine Halo9 has on-board tuning features including a 13-band parametric EQ per channel, for continuous frequency control. The 6-channel time correction ensures that music is staged properly in the front and center of the vehicle. If more power is needed, additional amplifiers can be added using the three sets of true 4V preamp outputs with front, rear, and subwoofer control.

Hi-Res Music Streaming with TIDAL

Experience music as the artist originally intended with the industry’s first full TIDAL integration. The iLX-F509 allows you to access select TIDAL features directly on the head unit and receive a high-res streaming experience with the TIDAL catalog of over 90 million songs.

Lossless audio and high-fidelity music options are also available for TIDAL HiFi and HiFi Plus Members, for superior sound quality that elevates the music experience. A TIDAL subscription is required and sold separately. To access TIDAL on the Alpine Head Unit, the head unit must be tethered to a mobile or smartphone hotspot. Data rates may apply.

Increased Adjustability

The screen is attached to an adjustable mount on a single-DIN chassis that’s designed to fit in most dash openings. Once the unit is installed, the screen has five vertical adjustments and two separate depths that lock into position for a sturdy installation. A new pressure tilt mechanism allows for more flexibility when positioning the screen for optimized viewing and access to dash and HVAC controls.

Keep Select Factory Controls

The Alpine Halo9 is compatible with the iDatalink Maestro Module (sold separately) to retain and display vehicle information on the extra large, 11-inch screen. Information such as steering wheel controls, tire pressure, and engine codes, and HVAC control may be accessible from the iLX-F509 (information will vary by vehicle).

Add a Rear Camera and More

The Alpine Halo9 includes two camera inputs to add a front, side, or rearview camera (sold separately). The rearview camera includes a distance guide display that overlays guidelines onto the screen for ease when moving in reverse.
