Choose the INE-AW409S if…

you want a more affordable Android stereo for maps, music and phone integration. Its 4 GB RAM, 64 GB storage and simpler sound adjustments cover everyday use. Internet access can come from your phone’s Wi-Fi hotspot.

Choose the INE-AX809 if…

you want more performance headroom, storage and independent 4G internet, or plan a system with an external amplifier and subwoofer. Optical output, DSP, six-channel 48-band EQ, time correction and crossovers provide much greater control over the sound.

Both displays have the same resolution. The AX809 upgrade is primarily in processing hardware, audio control and 4G/LTE. A SIM card, mobile data plan and vehicle-specific fitting kit are purchased separately.
