Alpine UTE-73BT Digital Media Receiver

Do you store your music on your smartphone? The UTE-73BT plays a variety of files, whether streamed from a phone, on a digital player, from your Pandora account, or even from an USB drive.

With advanced Bluetooth® wireless technology, audio streaming, and FLAC support, the UTE-73BT Mech-Less Digital Receiver with Advanced Bluetooth delivers quality phone calls and playback of various music files so you stay in touch and in tune.

The UTE-73BT offers Android AOA (Android Open Accessory) 2.0 when used with a compatible Android™ smartphone through the USB connection. The AOA connection provides better music and sound control compared to basic Bluetooth® audio streaming.

Making and taking phone calls has never been more convenient. You can set up your cell phone/head unit to automatically answer your calls. Use the supplied microphone to speak, and then listen through your car’s speakers.

To bring sound balance to your hands-free experience, you can adjust the UTE-73BT's mic gain, phone output and ringtone volume. If that’s not enough, there are two sound quality settings to choose from to get the balance just right for you. This flexibility will make your phone calls a pleasurable experience.

The UTE-73BT can stream and control your smartphone's music via Bluetooth wireless technology. If your car has factory Bluetooth steering wheel controls, then it will also control your UTE-73BT's built-in Bluetooth functions. Or, control the UTE-73BT from your factory-installed steering wheel controls by adding a third-party adapter.

Whether you have an iPhone or Android smartphone, Alpine gives you full control of Pandora straight from your dash. For even more listening choices, the UTE-73BT is SiriusXM-Ready™ (requires SiriusXM Connect Vehicle Tuner Kit and SiriusXM subscription, both sold separately).

The UTE-73BT can display the song name, artist name, and radio station name if this data is broadcasted by the radio station.

Standard in-vehicle solutions may drain the battery of your phone but with the UTE-73BT, your phone charges via the USB cable (sold separately) so you can enjoy continuous music and power your phone at the same time.

This head unit allows you to customize your crossover adjustments so you can control where you send high and low frequencies, for the best sound from your UTE-73BT.

This one-stop music player has an LCD display with one-line, RGB illumination for your choice of display color. The new high-contrast LCD display has five times the contrast of a conventional screen, so the display is always easy to read. Alpine's signature rotary knob makes controlling all your music a breeze. This unit also comes with a convenient front-panel auxiliary input so you or your passenger can plug in a portable media player as an additional source.

The UTE-73BT uses a 24-Bit DAC for ultimate sound quality with all your digital media sources. The 3-band parametric EQ lets you dial in your bass, mids, and treble, while the high pass/low pass crossover lets you protect and manage the right frequencies for your speakers. The UTE-73BT can playback FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) files via USB, for a more quality listening experience. The UTE-73BT has three 5V preouts, allowing you to build a louder system thanks to a greater amount of signal that is fed to the amp.
