Alpine has released its second-generation digital media receivers with in-dash iPod integration at CES on Monday.
The new receivers -- the iDA-X100, iDA-X200 and iDA-X300 -- include AM/FM and options for XM or SIRIUS satellite radio; HD Radio; MP3/WMA players; USB mass storage devices; and Bluetooth connectivity for hands free calling and streaming audio support.
iDA-X100 displays album art and features iTunes Tagging through its dedicated iTunes Tag button and the separate TUA-T550HD HD Radio Tuner. When the iPod is connected to the computer, iTunes automatically presents the songs in a new Tagged playlist so the user has the option to preview, buy and download the songs.
The iDA-X200 will be available in January 2008 for US$300; and the iDA-X300 will be available in January 2008 for $200.
