Fits right in

The included Alpine Restyle package accommodates the i209-WRA in pretty much every 2011-18 JK Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited model. This package contains a dash kit that replaces the section of your dash and houses the receiver, along with wiring adapters that plug directly into the factory electronics and wiring. Alpine even includes an iDatalink module that allows you to keep your steering wheel audio controls and the Jeep Uconnect® features you’ve grown fond of. Once you’ve identified your vehicle, we’ll tell you if this Jeep kit fits.

Your Jeep is designed for off-road use, and so is this receiver. The bezel and WVGA touchscreen are splash-proof and dust-proof, so you can drop the top and head into the wilderness without worrying about your receiver succumbing to the elements.

Factory functionality and aftermarket style

The dash kit doesn’t replicate your Jeep’s dash, but it does offer the same features. It comes with custom keys that match lighting, color, shape, and style of the factory keys, and it also lets you keep your climate controls. Big buttons along the sides of the 9″ display offer easy access to commonly used functions, and you’ll even retain your Jeep’s 12-volt ports.

Built-in Bluetooth®

Built-in Bluetooth allows you to use the i209-WRA for hands-free calling and music streaming through your compatible phone. Big touchscreen buttons make tuning and volume adjustment a snap, and the external microphone lets you enjoy crystal-clear conversations.

Quick access to cool features

The receiver’s “Favorites” button gives you quick access to frequently used features, like radio stations, phone numbers, destinations, sound settings, and anything else you’ll want “right now”. One touch adds your choice directly to the favorites menu.

Those favorites are tied to your phone’s Bluetooth profile, so the i209-WRA brings them up automatically when you get into your Jeep. You can have two user profiles tied to the stereo, with up to 80 favorites per user spread across 10 touchscreen pages. When the stereo detects two users at the same time, it can offer split-screen access to both users’ favorites.

Versatile display

If you’re a little old-school, you’ll really appreciate the side buttons that get you right into functions like favorites, navigation, phone access, and sound settings without going through menu screens. You can create a custom top source banner that shows the sources you use most often, so you won’t have to scroll through anything to choose a source. You can also use split-screen sound tuning to adjust the sonic controls and change tracks at the same time.

Fingertip control

The 9″ display features capacitive touchscreen control, similar to your smartphone or tablet. You can pinch-to-zoom your maps for a better view, or enlarge or shrink album artwork as you please with your fingers. It employs 4-way movement on the screen, so you’re always one swipe away from your favorite functions. Swipe left for navigation, right for A/V commands, up for audio or rear-seat entertainment options, and down for Bluetooth and source selection.

HD Radio

The i209-WRA comes ready to play with a multitude of entertainment options:

• HD Radio reception: You’ll enjoy crystal-clear sound quality from participating AM and FM stations, including FM that sounds almost as good as a CD. Plus, you’ll see station and song info on the screen.

• Pandora® Internet radio: Pandora fans will enjoy touchscreen control over their stations, including thumbs up and down, bookmarks, and station lists. Just plug your iPhone® into the USB port or use the Bluetooth connection with your Android™ device.

• iPhone and iPod® control: Browsing for your favorite songs is simple and concise, thanks to an intuitive touchscreen interface and the huge display. You can check out song title, artist info, and album art with a quick glance at the big screen.

• Satellite radio compatibility: You can add SiriusXM programming to the receiver with an optional tuner and your paid subscription.

HDMI input

The i209-WRA also features an MHL-compatible HDMI input, allowing you to connect most compatible Android smartphones and devices. With the correct HDMI cable connected, you’ll be able to view video content from your phone or a portable Blu-ray Disc™ player on the Alpine’s screen while parked. You also keep your front auxiliary input through the dash kit and get a rear USB port, plus a rear A/V input and output.

Connect up to three cameras

You can also connect up to three cameras with the optional Multi-Camera Selector Interface so you can see more of what’s around your vehicle when getting in and out of tight spots.

Play with your Jeep’s coolest features

If you’ve tricked out your Jeep with add-ons, Alpine’s got you covered. The optional Truck Accessory Controller enables simple system expansion, allowing touchscreen command of up to eight electrical devices like winches, LED lights, interior lights, suspension kits, tire inflators, and differential locks. You can customize the onscreen icons and button labels, so you’ll be able to access your devices with ease.

Preset EQ settings for your Jeep

Alpine’s audio engineers have loaded special Sound Parameters Settings into this receiver for all the vehicles covered by Restyle packages. You pick the one that matches your Jeep to get sound that’s custom-EQ’d and time-corrected for your vehicle’s acoustics.

Enhanced sonic controls

With Alpine’s TuneIt app, you can use your phone’s touchscreen to make the changes to the 9-band parametric equalizer, crossover, and time correction. You can then share your system and settings with other TuneIt users, and see what they’ve done as well. You can link your TuneIt account to your Facebook account and get notifications through social media.

Siri® Eyes Free for non-distracted driving

Got an iPhone with Siri? This receiver supports Siri Eyes Free, which means you can ask Siri to make calls, select and play music, compose and hear text messages, read notifications, even use maps and get directions — all commanded by your voice through your Alpine receiver, without any visual distractions from your Apple® device.

iDatalink Maestro included

The i209-WRA offers compatibility you won’t find in many other aftermarket radios, thanks to the iDatalink Maestro module. You’ll keep your steering wheel audio controls, your factory amp, safety warning chimes, and Uconnect®, if present. The iDatalink adapter also lets you tap into your Jeep’s diagnostic port, so you can check out expanded functionality including gauges, climate controls, a distance sensor, and tire pressure monitor on the Alpine’s screen.
