Frequently Asked Questions - KIT-F9FI-DU8 ALPINE

Which vehicles is the KIT-F9FI-DU8 compatible with?

The kit is compatible with Fiat Ducato III (Version 8, 2021+) and Ducato New Dash (2021+). It is specifically designed for the Open-Dash version.

Which Alpine radios work with this steering wheel interface?

The interface is suitable for Alpine models INE-F904D(C), iLX-F903D, iLX-F905D, and iLX-F115D.

How do I connect the CAN bus?

Connect the CAN bus cable (point 10 on page 2) to the instrument cluster. Remove the instrument panel cover and connector, then insert the CAN wires (Blue = CAN High, White = CAN Low) into the supplied 2-pin housing and into the cluster connector. Reassemble in reverse order.

What is the Pre-Flight Check feature?

The Pre-Flight Check displays vehicle parameters and preselected warnings each time the engine is started. It can be enabled via the Interface Settings and configured through the radio menu (HDMI section, select ACC Control).

How do I adjust the button illumination?

For compatible radios (X903D-DU(2)/X903D-ID/X903D(C)-F), go to Interface Settings and select Button Illumination. You can choose from 10 colors including Orange, Yellow, Red, Green, Blue, White, each with a Dim option.

What should I do if the CAN Activity shows 'No'?

If the Interface Information shows CAN Activity as 'No', check the CAN cable connections. Ensure Blue wire is CAN High and White wire is CAN Low and that they are properly inserted into the instrument cluster connector. Also verify the LIN Activity.

How do I connect the LIN bus?

Locate the grey connector on the vehicle side (not the orange one). It may be inside the radio tunnel or below the plastic cover for the wireless Qi charger. Connect the supplied harness to this grey connector.

Can I retain the factory wireless Qi charger after installing this interface?

Yes, but you will need a separate spare part: Alpine KWE-QI-DU8. The standard kit does not support the Qi charger functionality without this adapter.

How do I reset the interface to factory settings?

In the Interface Settings menu, select Factory Settings. This will reset all interface settings to their defaults.

What is the Ignition Logic setting?

The Ignition Logic determines when the radio turns on. Key mode turns on the radio when the ignition key is turned. Door mode turns on the radio when the central locking is opened (pre-ignition), if supported by the vehicle.
