The Alpine company has been making quality car radios for many years. Now it introduces the new CDE-173BT model. With Bluetooth, USB and AUX connectivity, it's not only a radio, but also a versatile multimedia device for your car.
Play music directly from your mobile phone
With Direct Control, you can control music directly from your iPhone / iPod or any other device that has a 3.5mm jack audio output or a USB interface. The App Direct feature allows you to charge your phone while playing music. You can make calls while driving with the built-in microphone and the BT Plus function. Bluetooth Plus lets you hold and switch between 2 incoming calls. Five presets for echo reduction increase voice quality. There are various icons, such as indicators of battery power and mobile reception, to make the device easy to control.
Equalizer for a perfect sound
To bring the resulting sound to perfection, the device features an equalizer with 10 presets. Should this not suffice, there is also three-band parametric EQ for further setup. A small surprise is hidden in the USB connector. It is powered by the 1A current, allowing you to connect not only a flash disk, but also an external HDD. This gives you the possibility to take your entire music library with you or to quickly charge your iPhone/iPod. The button backlight colour can be changed to either green or red. The front panel is removable.
