Product information

1DIN Chassis – 9" Screen
The iLX-F903D features a 1DIN chassis, making it immediately compatible with any vehicle with either 1DIN or 2DIN radio dock.
The 9-inch high-resolution touch-screen is attached to the front of the media box with steel brackets to achieve a rock solid display
that does not wobble while driving.
Edge-to-Edge Glass Design
The amazing 9-inch display sits in a super slim housing with edge-to-edge glass and a nice chrome trim around the edge.
Combined with the touch-responsive hard-keys on the bottom it makes the units stunningly beautiful and very modern in function
and appearance.

Adjustable Display Angle
You can adjust the iLX-F903D’s display angle from +45 degrees to -20 degrees to match a wide range of dashboard angle. After
the display angle is set, it gets locked into place during installation to be rock-steady while driving over any terrain and when
pushing with your finger on the display to control the unit.
Adjustable Display Height and Distance
The display height can be adjusted +/- 3cm from the center position. This allows fully standing or hanging display configurations
as well as everything in between. You can also adjust the distance of the display to your dash in a 20mm range. After the display
height and distance to the dash are selected, everything gets locked into place to be very solid.
