【Alpine HCE-B120V｜In-car ETC 2.0 unit with optical beacon receiver / Navi-linked】

Alpine HCE-B120V is a navigation-linked ETC 2.0 in-car unit equipped with an optical beacon receiver, compatible with Alpine car navigation systems “NX / NX2 series” manufactured from 2020 onward.

The key advantage is that you can check not only toll information on expressways, but also congestion and road-traffic information for both local roads and expressways via the navigation screen and voice guidance. When you pass through an ETC gate, the toll plaza name and usage fee are displayed, so you don’t have to look closely at the small display on the unit while driving—you can confirm everything naturally on your usual navigation screen.

Display traffic jams and road conditions clearly on your navigation

By connecting to an Alpine car navigation system, you can receive wide-area congestion information and road-traffic conditions provided by the ETC 2.0 service. While driving, it guides you with simple graphics and voice for cautionary information such as falling objects and the end of traffic congestion. Even on unfamiliar roads or during long-distance travel, it becomes easier to grasp what’s coming up.

Because you can access regional sightseeing information and facility information through ITS spots, this model is also a great match for those who want to make use of Alpine navigation for trips and drives.

In addition, it also notifies you by voice if you forget to insert your ETC card or if the card has expired—this is a small but genuinely helpful feature for everyday use. It reduces the risk of rushing right before the toll gate, creating a more reassuring environment for using ETC.

Supports a natural installation that leverages the OEM location

By using separately sold Perfect Fit parts matched to your vehicle model, compatible vehicles can be installed in the OEM mounting location. If you want to minimize the “aftermarket” look as much as possible and keep the area around the driver’s seat neat and tidy, this is also an important point.

This isn’t just a product you can install and be done with. The final result varies depending on factors such as confirming compatibility with your navigation unit, installation conditions for each vehicle model, ease of operation, and wiring/concealment. At LOGON, we check the model number and vehicle specifications of the navigation system you currently use and guide you, including the installation method. If I were choosing, I would decide not only based on the convenience of navigation linkage, but also whether it will be easy to take the card in and out every day and whether it will fit naturally in appearance.

Please note that it is not compatible with Alpine car navigation systems manufactured from 2016 to 2019. Since it also cannot be connected to Alpine display audio, you must confirm your navigation model number before placing an order. Don’t decide based on the product alone—be sure to check the navigation system and vehicle model you currently have before choosing.
