Alpine: iPod interface coming this fall
(MacCentral)
07/02/2004 09:43 AMMacCentral - Apple and BMW's recent "iPod Your BMW" promotion offers a
way for owners of recent-model BMW vehicles to interface their iPods
with their stereos. But if you don't own a BMW or don't have a
compatible model, what are you to do? One solution comes from
venerable car audio maker Alpine, which in January announced the
development of its Interface Adapter for iPod. With Apple and BMW's
recent announcement making the rounds, Alpine recently offered further
information about its product, which it now says will ship in the
fall.

MacCentral has more details about Alpine's upcoming
in-car iPod interface, including the single-greatest quote ever to
slip past the lips of a VP of Marketing, "Consumers love a knob more
than anything." I've been saying that for years.
The Alpine unit looks nice, though. I think the best thing is that
it's part of a whole system, so that any Ai-Net-equipped head unit
can interface with the iPod, including using the aforementioned knob
to scroll through like you would with the iPod's built-in wheel.
Better than iPod Your BMW, that's for sure.

advertise the ability to connect your iPod or iPod mini to the stereo
included with several late-model BMW vehicles. That's not the only way
to directly connect an iPod to a car stereo, however, and one of the
most hotly anticipated solutions is coming this September from
aftermarket car audio manufacturer
Alpine, the same company that
designed and manufactured BMW's solution. The
KCA-420i is a new interface box designed to work
with Alpine car stereos that include "Ai-Net" command capabilities,
and the solution actually offers more functionality than BMW's
offering, including the ability to view artist, album and track
information.

Alpine iPod Ready
Alpine iPod Ready
01/11/2004 10:13 AMAlpine are set to introduce
iPod Ready
— a new car stereo that links up with your iPod :
With a simple one-cable connection, iPod users will be able to operate
key playback features from the Alpine receiver's buttons and have
display of playlists, album, artist and songs on the head unit. The
iPod can then be safely stored in the glove box or console because it
acts like a portable hard drive connected to the head unit through
Alpine's powerful Ai-Net system bus. The Alpine connectivity solution
also provides charging of the iPod's internal battery.
Cool. The unit won't be available until the summer, and there's no
mention of pricing yet, but hopefully it'll reach the UK — and
maybe even fit the Mini's dash...

Aux-Pod iPod Semi-Pro Interface Kit

It looks like it's more for
hardcore car audio types than your standard, all-purpose gadget
tweaker, but the Aux-Pod looks like it might be the in-car iPod
interface of choice for those doing a custom rig-up. Although it
appears to be mostly just a cable, wiring harness, and interface black
box (read: no cradle or holder for the iPod itself), the Aux-Pod kit
does allow a full integration of the iPod's controls into your cars
built-in switches, so you can change tracks (and maybe more) using the
toggles on your steering wheel or head unit. It will even charge the
iPod when it's plugged in (unplugged, strangely, it does not charge).
(Thanks, Michael!)

07/12/2004 12:38 PM
Alpine has finally given a mostly-firm date for its
new in-car iPod interface, the KCA-420i, updating their website to
show a "late September" availability. The connector is one of the most
promising iPod car adapters out there, connecting to any of Alpine's
head units that support its Ai-Net standard (which unfortunately
explains the relatively cheap $100 price). The KCA-420i also supports
Alpine's MediaXpander technology that attempts to add back in the
harmonics lost in MP3 compression on the fly, making your so-so
sounding compressed audio sound much closer to its CD-quality source
(and although I haven't personally heard MediaXpander, I've actually
heard nothing but good things about it).
More betterness, and links, after the jump.

Alpine Ai-NET Stereos to Offer XM and
Sirius Options
Alpine Ai-NET Stereos to Offer XM and
Sirius Options
12/22/2004 01:36 AM
Alpine has announced that their newer
Ai-NET series head units will now support either Sirius or XM
satellite radio (although not both at the same time, I don't think).
Really, all it means is that the satellite receivers use the generic
Ai-NET interface to connect, much like the Alpine KCA-420i iPod Interface, so you
can add components piecemeal as you see fit. You can use one of
the satellite receivers with the KCA-420i units in the same system,
though, so maybe you could have both satellite radios as an option.
(Thanks, Aaron!)
Alpine is the very first to offer Sirius or XM!
[Alpine-USA]
Update: I have confirmed that you can have both XM and Sirius at
the same time. Sounds good.
