Alpine INEW970HD

When it comes to choosing touchscreen radios, it makes sense to consider cost versus features. Alpine’s INE-W970HD navigation receiver makes a solid case for itself with both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility, plus built-in GPS directions for those times when your phone reception isn’t up to par. And if those features plus legendary Alpine sonic upgrades weren’t enough for you, it adds CD/DVD playback and plenty of media connections. For the radio fans, it offers a built-in HD Radio tuner and compatibility with SiriusXM satellite radio.
