Alpine UTE-73BT Mech-Less Digital Media Receiver with Bluetooth® Wireless Technology

This radio is awesome, super clear sound, the settings are more than adequate for the average user to adjust the sound. the separate subwoofer settings are a step above the competition. The bass generator button is awesome for fast tuning and showing off a system without messing up the daily EQ. Huge plus it has a microphone to add hands free calling, the noise suppression is fantastic I have this in my old truck that's usually about 90db in the cab on the road and people have no issue hearing me.Great value on a brand name system would recommend to anyone!

Everything you would expect from alpine, nothing but quality.

Makes speakers sound crisp ( original stocked speakers 06 ) fits perfectly. Money worth itEverything you need on a stereo very satisfied.

Absolutely love this stereo, so easy to wire and set up. Seller shipped very quickly..thanks for a great item!

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.

So I bought a plow truck for the winter... nothing special, just a 20 year old F250 with a bench seat and AM radio. I said to myself, who cares that its a 20 year old truck... what matters is my other truck stays in the garage away from the salt. I said to myself... why not splurge on a radio to make the time behind the wheel, sitting on that bench seat halfway enjoyable... So I find this radio... pure non-mechanical... all digital... ok, I stick a thumb drive into it... thumb drives dont scratch... I paired it with a couple of JBL speakers for anther $100 and I have a kicking system in an old beater.The menu was easy to navigate... at first I wanted to change the LEDs to match my factory "green" gauge lights... you can do that, but then I decided to stop being so OCD and just go default blue... however every now and again, I will catch a reflection of the deck in my window or something and see a blue light... just saying...For the price you cannot be dissapointed... great sound, easy to operate, good price... just not all fancy flat panel DVD stuff...

I had a double Din stereo 2 years ago ($350). It didn't last and it wouldn't connect to my phone. Although it had many options there was no point if it wouldn't connect. These days our phones keep moving forward and our head units become obsolete within a year or two. It's no one's fault because they are two different entities.This time I went back to a single Din willing to "downgrade". The only thing I lost was the backup camera feature and having an equilizer with more options for the sound. For the price I paid I got a better sound from this unit and I would recommend it.My first stereo was an Alpine when I was 18 I am 33 now and I am not disappointed. I don't know why I swayed from them. I've had 3 stereos with this one and the first 2 are still working as hand me downs.As much as I love Bluetooth and hands free calling I am going hardwire. The Bluetooth is not cutting it for high quality. I've researched a bit and if you want that hi-fi sound you will be spending $600+ and I am ok with that. I'll use my speaker on my phone.When I used the BT in call feature it was clear and my cousin said he could hear everything. Alpine advertises it is a clear sound and I agree. It could be where I placed it. But either way we are in a good time because the developers are now understanding our needs at every $level$.I love this head unit and can't knock any stars off of it.

At first the radio wasnt putting out power, then no sound. I initiated a return, and counldnt reach the seller. Amazon wanted me to return the unit, with all the wiring. Stupid process, as id have to buy another harness adapter. I was not pleased.After a secondary inspection, i found out the 10 fuse on the back was defective. As in not even joined at the barbs, but showing a joined fuse point. New fuse and we are good to go. Connectivity is slow, and you must reconnect everytime the battery is shut off. Aside from that, so far so good.
