For the Safe Use of Smartphones in the Car
MirrorLink™ is a standard for connecting smartphone devices to vehicle-based infotainment systems. It is a cross-industry solution supported by leading automotive manufacturers, system suppliers, consumer electronics manufacturers and handset manufacturers as part of the Car Connectivity Consortium (CCC). MirrorLink™ offers seamless and convenient use of smartphone-based applications such as navigation, music playback and other entertainment and communication apps.
If you own a smartphone that is MirrorLink™ enabled, visit your phone manufacturer’s app store to download the needed software (additional charges may apply) and install it on your phone. The head unit is just a terminal, as all processing is done in the phone. The phone charges while driving. The driver can get live traffic updates while navigating.
Alpine TuneIt App for Tuning and Keeping in Touch
The INE-W987D works with Alpine’s cool and convenient Alpine TuneIt App to bring you custom sound tuning features right from your smartphone.
You can upload your sound settings to the Alpine Cloud Server to share them with other Alpine fans, and see their settings. The app also displays Facebook messages, lets you “Like” them and even reads them to you!
Download Alpine TuneIt App with TTS from the Apple App Store or Google Play.
High Quality Sound, Tuned for Your Car and Your Ear
The INE-W987D puts the power of advanced sound processing in your car with BASS ENGINE SQ to maximise bass sound and overall tone balance, plus lots of custom tuning functions like Digital Time Correction and 9-Band Parametric EQ. Best of all, you can control them easily from your smartphone with the Alpine TuneIt App. 24-Bit DAC and 4-volt PreOuts, too!
Advanced Power IC
Featuring a high quality built-in amplifier for excellent sound quality and dynamic response.
DAB Tuner for Superior Radio Sound Quality
Now you can enjoy radio with excellent digital sound quality. Built-in DAB, DAB+ and DMB tuners use the latest tuning technology to deliver consistent sound clarity, no matter where you’re driving. In areas where DAB is not available, the unit will automatically switch between RDS and DAB, for continuous high quality reception. It also offers Service Search and a DAB antenna power supply. An optional Alpine antenna is available (KAE-220DA).
HDMI Connection
Connect your HDMi enabled smartphone or portable media player via HDMI connection to enjoy all your video content on the INE-W987D’s high resolution display. Full digital data transfer and the WVGA display ensure excellent image quality. An optional HDMI cable (KCU-610HD for iPhone, Sony Xperia ACRO and Motorola, etc or KCU-610MH for HTC ONE, Samsung Galaxy S4, Sony Xperia Z, etc) is required.
Fully Detachable Faceplate
This anti-theft feature lets you easily remove the faceplate with a single touch, so you can take it with you when leaving the car. After removal, the unit will be in standby mode until it is replaced, rendering the unit useless to a thief.
Large Control Buttons
Not only is viewing enhanced, but operating various functions is also more convenient with large buttons. When driving, you’ll quickly learn that it’s more comfortable and safer to use the 7” display with easy-to-push buttons.
Connection for Alpine Climate Control and Parking Sensor Interfaces
Many original factory head units have climate control and parking displays, which will be lost if the unit is removed. With the INE-W987D, this is not a problem, as it supports Alpine interfaces that provide attractive graphic displays of climate control and parking information. This ensures full integration of the Alpine system with the car for greater driving safety and convenience.
Parking sensor displays distances to the front and rear, making it easier and safer to maneuvre into and out of parking spaces.
Camera display gives you a clear view as you park. Front and rear distances are also shown. The system automatically mutes on reverse to hear the sensor sound.
Full climate and heater contour display including air vent settings and seat heater display makes it easy to achieve desired settings.
Alpine INE-W987D Installation Kits
Cleanly installing an 7” screen into a regular dashboard can be a challenge, so Alpine provides an increasing number of installation kits, including everything from mechanical parts to adapters and interfaces for Steering Wheel Remote Control and Vehicle Display (if available). Kits are under preparation. For more detailed information please ask your dealer.
Where to Buy 
The INE-W987D presents an entirely new level of user-friendly operation by giving you the choice of viewing two sources at the same time. You don’t have to go back and forth between two screens, selecting different menus. All the information you want is right in front of you. Simple touch screen icons and customisable functions add to the convenience.
Alpine makes it easy to integrate the INE-W987D with the factory system in your car. We have interfaces that let you operate functions via the steering wheel remote control and use a sub-display to view information from the head unit on the gauges. It’s all part of the One Look Navi concept aimed at letting you keep your eyes on the road.
In addition to keeping you informed and entertained, Alpine wants to improve your safety. The One Look Safety features include Advanced Bluetooth capabilities, rear view camera support and a detachable faceplate, and are designed for safer driving and to protect your system.
