This page aims to cover the Evoras In Car Entertainment system, revisions made to it over the course of the models life-cycle, and upgrade options.

It is in it's present state far from conclusive, so please feel free to add or amend details.

Head-unit

The head-unit fitted to Evoras varies depending on the age and specification of the car, with non-Tech Pack equipped cars fitted with the Alpine CDE-111RM (CDE-102Ji for Japan, CDE-102 for USA) - a fairly standard single-DIN CD head-unit - while Tech Pack cars receive a double-DIN head-unit with touch-screen, satellite navigation, iPod dock and Bluetooth mobile phone connectivity integrated.

The standard fit Tech Pack head-unit for MY09-MY11 cars was either the Alpine IVA-W505R (VIE-X077 for Japan, IVA-W505R for USA) or Alpine IVA-W520R, depending if the sat nav unit is fixed or removable. This Alpine unit was often criticised for it's cheap looks, fiddly interface and difficulty in syncing up phones via Bluetooth, and so for MY12 cars was replaced with the Pioneer AVIC-930BT unit.

The Alpine system in pre-MY12 Tech Pack equipped cars uses the Alpine NVE-M300P Navigation Module, which is connected to the headunit to provide satellite navigation.

The module feature a mini-USB port which can be used with an adapter and memory stick to update the devices firmware and maps using the Naviextras Toolbox software. Full details on how to update these can be found on the Alpine NVE-M300P/RUE-M300 Firmware & Map Update page.
