Dedicated for your iPod

Super-Fast USB Connection
The iDA-X100M uses a USB connection(cable included) for newer iPods that provides ultra-fast digital data transfer so songs are loaded instantly through the receiver. Sound quality is maximized by using USB along with the 24-Bit Burr Brown D/A converter, allowing for an incredible Signal to Noise ratio of 105dB. Plus, the iDA-X100M quickly loads up full Album Art on screen.

Full Speed Connection for iPod
Connect your older iPod using the KCE-422i cable (optional), and you’ve got access to all your iPod music, right from your receiver. With Full Speed you get full control so you can scroll through all your Playlists, Artists, Albums, and Songs – and view all your song information right from the display on your iDA receiver.

QuickSearch
Tons of music? Find it fast! With Alpine’s exclusive QuickSearch technology, you’ll be able to find what you want, the quickest and easiest way possible. With so many ways to listen to thousands of songs, now you can get super-fast access to Playlists, Artists, Songs, Podcasts, Audiobooks, Genres, and Composers. You can even use QuickSearch for your radio stations. Large control buttons and a Dual Action Rotary Encoder Knob make it easy to scroll through all your sources, including your iPod, HD Radio, Satellite Radio, and CD changer. No interruptions, while you search, just let the Alpine play.

Percentage Search
For especially big music libraries, Alpine created the Percentage Search function to use the preset buttons for quick jumps to specific parts of the list. Why scroll through each song one by one, when you can just jump to a segment of your library?

Alphabet Search
Alpine gives you even more ways to find your favorite music. No need to sift through each song one-by-one. Use Alphabet Search to jump through your lengthy list of music by skipping through the letters of the alphabet. Once you have the letter you want, just scroll to the exact song!
