Alpine recently said it was set to make available a new advanced audio/video head unit for use in cars. It is called the IVA-W505 and you’ll find it pricing at around $1,100.

The Alpine IVA-W505 offers up an on-screen graphical user interface with touchscreen controls and a seven-inch display. It can offer support and control of satellite radio, HD Radio, MP3/WMA digital audio players, mass storage devices and Bluetooth hands-free calling. It also tags HD Radio music at the touch of a button (and optional tuner) and transmits the tagged information to an attached iPod for later purchase through iTunes.

Other features of the IVA-W505 include optional navigational support when docked with Alpine’s PMD-B200 Blackbird portable navigation device, DVD-R/-RW/CD/MP3/AAC/WMA/DivX playback and rear camera input. It is available now.
