Alpine UTE-73BT Advanced Bluetooth Mech-Less Digital Media Receiver (Does not Play CDs)

Nice stereo
Nice stereo, sounds good with my stock Corolla speakers and no external amp or equipment.

Alpine stereo receiver
Install was pretty easy. Harness included. No CD player. AM/FM, Bluetooth, USB compatible. The button color can be changed, but not the screen. Screen is alpine blue. I had to read the manual to know how to set the clock and get to some option menus. Seems like a decent unit for a decent price.

If you buy any unit under $100, buy this. Don’t waste your money on anything less.
I purchased a recommended Nakamichi unit first that was garbage. It was an unfinished product that felt like a fisher price child’s toy. I should’ve bought the Apline unit as I had intended before amazon steered me to the wrong unit. So I returned the Nakamichi and bought the Alpine. So happy. 10x better. Solid. Perfect menu options. Accessibility and ergonomics alpine quality. Yes. Much worse than units of 8 years ago, but still better than other offerings for the same price. I have a unit from 2012 that does everything this does, but everything feels much higher quality.The best thing I like about the alpine unit is that since the very large knob is easy to hit/press, you don’t accidentally go to a menu option on the unit. I have JVC and Pioneer units where let’s say i pull up to a drive thru and want to turn down the volume. I will inadvertently hit the button taking me to some interface menu, and now I’m turning the knob left and right scrolling thru menus instead of adjusting volume, all while I’m trying to order food. Alpine understood that would happen, so it makes the push of the knob not do anything until you push another button to enter a menu. Perfect. That’s how it should be. Things like that are what make it good. So this powers 4 speakers in my car, and volume is fine. Obviously I can barely hear it at freeway speeds with windows rolled down, but that’s to be expected with any standard head unit. Overall would definitely buy again.

Best stereo I’ve ever had in my 98 Jeep Wrangler TJ
This is easily the best stereo I’ve had, not only does it sound good but the interface looks so nice. If you know radios, it shouldn’t be too hard to install, granted I don’t know much but with the help of my dad, we go it figured out. The Bluetooth at first can be a little tricky but once you figure it out, it works flawlessly. Thanks Alpine for such a great product!!

Excelente, funciona increible, la calidad de audio es excelente y las funciones super bien. Buen Estereo, muy recomendable

Alpine UTE-73BT jamas había tenido un alpine, y por el precio de 1800 a 2000 que encontré nuevo, decidí adquirirlo, de pionner económicos (1,100 a 1, 300 pesos mexicanos) que había tenido, duraron solo un par de años, la primera impresión al sacar el autoestereo de la caja, se noto claramente la calidad de los botones y materiales. La segunda impresión fue el sonido de las bocinas, claramente se escuchaba más fuerte y nitido los sonidos que en mi anterior estereo. Incluso diría que hasta el subwoofer se noto un pequeño cambio en sus vibraciones. Fue un cambio excelente. En cuestión del Bluetooth no he tenido problemas para que se conecte, yo lo conecte los dos cables de positivo directos a la batería, No que se prendiera al girar la llave del carro. A veces solo tengo que entrar al celular y poner en Bluetooth que se conecte al estereo, solo cuando apenas entro al carro y tengo que hacer una llamada inmediatamente o poner música. El único problema que yo le pongo, es que si desconectas el autoestereo de la batería, todos los cambios que hiciste no se guardan. Que en pioner por más días sin estar conectado se queda con la configuración que tenia. Por el precio y calidad mas no se durabilidad aun solo tengo 2 meses con el. 9.5 de 10
