Alpine iLX-705D-VW

The Alpine iLX-705D-VW brings "all the bells and whistles" to your car.

Wireless Apple CarPlay

The iLX-705D-VW works wirelessly with your iPhone, allowing you to make and receive calls, dictate messages using Siri, and use apps like Google Maps, Apple Maps, WhatsApp, or Spotify streaming while your phone is in your pocket. Siri can be easily activated by pressing the voice control button on the head unit once.

Android Auto

Android Auto allows you to use many of your phone's apps directly from the iLX-705D-VW screen. Simply connect your phone to the head unit with a USB cable, and all Android Auto apps will be immediately available. You can use your favorite navigation apps, such as Google Maps or Waze, and play music through Spotify, YouTube Music, or Tidal, for example.

Entertainment on the Big Screen

In addition to the traditional RDS tuner, you also have access to digital DAB radio, as well as the ability to play video files (MP4, MOV, FLV, MKV) via the USB connection. Through Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, you'll have access to numerous entertainment and utility apps.

Front and Rear Cameras (optional)

The Alpine iLX-705D-VW has two camera inputs. You can connect a front and a reverse camera to the head unit, and the reverse camera view will appear on the screen as soon as you engage reverse gear. In addition to a standard reverse camera, Alpine's range includes MultiView cameras, which allow you to switch viewing angles from the touchscreen, and MultiView cameras also offer a wider viewing angle and better light sensitivity.

If your car has a factory-installed VW camera*, the iLX-705D-VW Premium head unit supports factory-installed cameras and parking sensors.
*) Does not support Volkswagen's factory-installed RGB camera.

Utilize Original Steering Wheel Controls

If your car is equipped with steering wheel controls, these will work seamlessly with the Alpine head unit. You can perform basic functions without taking your hands off the steering wheel, such as muting the head unit, changing the source or radio station, adjusting the volume, etc. If you use an iPhone, you can also activate Siri with a single button press.

Two USB Inputs

The Alpine iLX-705D-VW does not include a CD/DVD mechanism, but thanks to its two USB connections, you can, for example, charge your phone via one port, and connect a USB stick or hard drive to the other port to play music and video files.

World's First Car Head Unit with Class-D Amplifier

The Alpine iLX-705D/-F905D/-F115D are the world's first aftermarket car head units with a built-in 4 x 50W Class-D amplifier. The advantage of Class-D is its incredibly high efficiency (approx. 90%) compared to the efficiency of Class-AB amplifiers (approx. 50-70%). New and almost silent high-speed fans keep the head unit cool.

Sound Quality Pioneer

Alpine's sound quality has become a globally recognized concept against which other head unit brands are always compared. A 56-band parametric equalizer, two-way crossovers, six-channel digital time correction, and separate Bass Engine SQ and MediaXpander allow you to adjust the sound exactly as you want it. And that's not all, as the iLX-705D-VW is Hi-Res Audio certified and can play lossless 96kHz / 1.536 kbps files from USB in FLAC, WAV, and APE formats.

TIDAL App

The Alpine ILX-705D / ILX-F905D / ILX-F115D are the world's first aftermarket car head units that enable streaming of completely uncompressed music from TIDAL. A WiFi connection is established with Alpine, for example, to a phone's hotspot, after which Alpine connects directly to TIDAL's servers. The music is not compressed or packed at any stage, ensuring the best possible sound quality!

7″ WXGA Display

The Alpine iLX-705D-VW features a 1280 x 720p (WXGA) resolution, meaning the display has over 2.7 million pixels. This ensures that all icons, menu options, and, for example, navigation map data appear incredibly sharp and clear. The iLX-705D-VW includes Alpine's best 7″ display ever.

Installation Accessories

The ILX-705D-VW includes accessories that allow for successful installation of the head unit in compatible cars.

In addition to the head unit, the package includes:

• 2-DIN plastic bezel
• Metal side brackets for the head unit

iLX-705D-VW Premium
Note: If your car's original head unit displays climate control information or factory-installed parking sensor/camera information, we recommend the iLX-705D-VW Premium head unit, which, in addition to the aforementioned functions, also supports the car's original display in the instrument cluster and the original hands-free microphone.

IMPORTANT: Skodas have been equipped with Volkswagen's RCD and RNS head units, as well as so-called "Skoda" head units (e.g., Bolero and Swing). "Skoda" head units are wider, and the iLX-705D-VW is NOT compatible with these cars. Please confirm your car's head unit type and Alpine compatibility before purchasing a new head unit.
