Alpine Electronics Bluetooth Car Radio, Black (RGB lighting)

Bought to replace the stock radio in a 2012 Toyota Aygo. This thing is an immense improvement over the stock head unit for both sound quality and functionality. The menu system is really straight forward once you get used to it. The external mic included for phone calls clips onto the sun visor nicely and the sound on the other end of the call is crystal clear. The people I've called using it so far said they didn't even realise I was in the car. Complex setup such as high/low pass filters, detailed sound options, colour customisation and other display settings can be accessed via a comprehensive menu but the basics such as bass, mid, treble and sub levels are easily available at a push of a button making it easy to tweak levels quickly out of the corner your eye without stealing focus from the road. The head unit offers enough customisation to balance my setup perfectly. I paired it with 2x Pioneer TS-G400s in the dash slots & 2x Pioneer TS-G670s in the front doors running off the head unit's built in amp, plus a self amplified Alpine SWE-815 8 inch subwoofer in the boot. The result is absolutely phenomenal in my little Aygo, the head unit pushes enough power through the Pioneers to make your ears bleed (with the high pass filter enabled at 120hz ensuring they should never pop even at full blast of course!) and the sub output provides exactly what the SWE-815 needs. So far bluetooth works flawlessly, pairing to my phone reasonably quickly as soon as I turn on the ignition. I use an Android phone and as this headunit is compatible with Android open accessory 2.0 the play/next/prev/etc buttons control the current media player on the phone (mp3 player, Spotify, etc). The head unit displays the current song title from most media players (including Spotify) and even shows the video title when playing music and podcasts from YouTube (Pssst! Use YouTube through Firefox mobile with an ad-blocker enabled and the "Video Background Play Fix" adon so you can minimise Firefox, have Waze or Google Maps on screen or even completely lock your phone while YouTube continues to play in the background when driving, you'll thank me later!). I'd highly recommend this head unit to anyone who wants a top quality bit of kit on a budget.

After installing the Alpine UTE-200BT in my test unit, I was genuinely impressed by its performance. Even without an external amplifier, it delivers outstanding sound quality. Paired with Pioneer TS-D65F speakers, the audio clarity and depth were remarkable, especially considering its price range. This unit offers a fantastic range of customization options, with both high-pass and low-pass filters that make a noticeable difference in sound control. When I connected a subwoofer, the RCA output provided a solid audio signal, and once properly tuned, the bass hit hard and deep, adding a powerful punch to the music. Visually, the UTE-200BT is appealing, with fully customizable lighting that adds a nice personal touch to any dashboard. USB audio worked flawlessly, right out of the box. Bluetooth connectivity, while mostly reliable, does take a moment to pair initially. The unit struggles a bit when switching between multiple devices, and after a restart, switching can be cumbersome, occasionally requiring a manual re-pairing. I experienced some rare instances where it would only connect for calls rather than music, but I suspect this could be due to an iPhone 12 compatibility quirk. Overall, the Alpine UTE-200BT is a fantastic, budget-friendly head unit that delivers in sound quality, customization, and style. Highly recommended for those looking to enhance their in-car audio experience without breaking the bank.

Looks almost period correct in an 90’s car. Colour matched quite well in my e36. Simple cheap stereo that works well, so far.

Top quality Alpine sound at a bargain price with full Bluetooth audio and phone integration plus a great quality external mic with ample cable length to mount anywhere suitable. Full RGB custom colours for both display and keys allowing you to match any interior lighting. In addition added a all in one alpine subwoofer swe-815 to create a high quality system at a budget cost. Alpine has really wiped all the other competitors out, just based on sound quality alone.

Love this head unit, FM/Am radio and fully bluetooth, great sound quality even on standard speakers, the unit is easy to use and work out and has many useful functions, it plugged straight into my 2002 golf tdi only needed an aerial converter (£7.99) cant go wrong for the money, I'm very happy with my purchase sold and delivered by Amazon.

Personally I think the winning feature of this unit is the customisable colours for the display and buttons, you can match it to the car really well. Also it works really well and sounds great, couldn’t want much else for the money to be honest!

I’m enjoying it for a while now. Fully customisable display, good connectivity with the mobile phone and very easy to install it.

Used to replace old Kenwood unit in 1995 Defender. Installation was straight forward and was originally disappointed with sound quality but with old Landy there is always a certain amount of back ground noice. Decided to invest in new Alpine under dashboard speakers and this has transformed the sound quality. This allows the sub woofer and equaliser settings to be optimised for my taste in music. Bluetooth works well to stream music from I-phone and it has the ability to set the backlight colour to your own choice.

Is na enkele weken al stuk. Valt uit en start terug op zonder reden. Hoe kan ik deze terug sturen?

Having a hard time getting ahold of UK Amazon to exchange the frigging thing I think it's a bunch of BS and I'm not very happy

All ok

Hallo. Ich habe mich nach vielen Recherchen über Geräte von Sony, Kenwood, Piomneer und noch andere doch für ein etwas teureres Gerät der Marke Alpine UTE-200BT Autoradio entschieden - und es nicht bereut ! Was soll ich sagen : das Gerät ist einfach super ! Meine Beurteilung nach ca. 2 Monaten : 1. Preis im Angebot unter 90.- € : Gut ! 2. Aussehen : Cool bis Wahnsinn - im beleuchteten Zustand ! Das Display sowie die Bedienelementtasten sind alle beleuchtet und mit einer 10 Farb - Auswahl einstellbar, und das sogar getrennt von der Display-farbe,die genauso einstellbar ist. Ich kenne kein Gerät das das kann. Weiss, Gelb, Grün, Cyan, Blau, Rot, Amber, Pink, Violett , Rose ! Dazu sind sie auch Dimmbar, nutze ich aber nicht. 3. Einstellungen: kann jeder. Anleitung dabei. Stabile Drucktasten der Hauptknopf ist drehbar an dem man die Lautstärke und Auswahl einstellt. Sendersuchtasten vor oder zurück, automatisch oder schrittweise manuell. Sender speichern super einfach, einfach länger draufdrücken, fertig. Ich denke bis zu 18 Sender speicherbar. Nutze ich aber nicht. 6 Hauptsender rein und gut ist. Auch Anrufe werden bei Knopfdruck über Anlage angenommen. 4. Klang : Also Leute, der Klang - wie bei jeder guten Musikanlage - hängt meist von den Lautsprechern ab. Habt ihr Schrott Billiglautsprecher, könnt ihr keine Orchesterklänge erwarten ! An diesem Gerät liegt es aber sicher nicht. Einen Super Klang hab ich auch mit den Lautsprechern in meinem Limousinen - Auto. Eingebaute 6-Lautsprecher. Wenn du es noch besser willst, wechsel die Lautsprecher. Fürs Auto aber reicht das völlig aus. 5. Power: Da stehen 55 Watt drauf, wenn man das Gerät in der Hand hält hat man aber echte Zweifel. Jedoch - deine Zweifel werden einfach weggeblasen - wenn du aufdrehst , dann kommt das - wow ist der Hammer. Ja halte dir die Ohren fest, sonst fliegen die aus dem Fenster. 6. Extras: Das Gerät hat eine extra Basstaste. Es kann 4 fach eingestellt werden. 1 fach reicht aber schon. Denn - Zuviel Bass macht dich nass. Von Ohrensausen bis zum Kopfdröhnen. Muss nicht sein. 7. der USB Anschluß: Ist für schnelle USB 3.0 ausgelegt und da merkt man schon den Unterschied. Einfach schnell. USB Stick rein und schon gehts los. Song startet. Einfach klasse mit einem 3.0 USB Stick. Nutzt du aber 2.0 USB, fangen die Lieder an zu hinken und kommen einfach nichtmehr nach. Ergo : gleich 3.0 Stick. 8. Radioempfang: Nix zu meckern Leute, einfach guter klarer Empfang. 9. Freisprecheinrichtung: Automatische Handy-Erkennung und Einrichtung über Bluetooth, wenn du ins Auto steigst, das Abdeckteil ins Gerät reinsteckst und einschaltest. Wird alles auch im Display angezeigt 1. Handyerfassung, bereit für Freisprechanlage. Ein Mitgeliefertes Mikro mit langem Kabel tut seinen guten Dienst. Wird hinten eingesteckt und ich habe es an den Lüftungsdüsen angeklickt. Einfach genial. Das Hören über die Anlage ist super gut, verstehen geht gut über Mikro ebenso klar und deutlich. 10. Das Abnehmbare Bedienteil ist nicht geschützt, ein Etui fehlt hier leider. Muss man von Alpine extra kaufen. Das habe ich mir separat im ebay gekauft und passend gemacht, dass heisst ich musste ein kleines Loch bohren, und jetzt passt es. So ist es immer geschützt in meiner Tasche. Negativ : Ein Extrakauf eines Etui für das abnehmbare Bedienerelement. Ist aber Notwendig damit es nicht verkratzt oder feucht wird. Fazit : Ich würde es sofort wieder kaufen und habe jedes mal Spaß damit. Lieber einige Euronen mehr zahlen und ein Profigerät haben, als zu sparen und sich zu ärgern. Meine Klare Kaufempfehlung. !!!!!!

Già possessore di analogo Alpine da quasi 20 anni, ho voluto aggiornarmi prendendo il modello che è praticamente l'upgrade del precedente. Intanto il prezzo: è calato tantissimo negli anni! Mi ricordo che l'altro l'avevo pagato il doppio. E la qualità è rimasta inalterata, con il plus di una tecnologia più aggiornata. Questo suona meglio del precedente - già ottimo - pur avendo sulla carta le stesse caratteristiche. L'ho scelto apposta senza lettore CD perché personalmente non ne ho mai fatto uso. Il bluetooth è velocissimo e, soprattutto, rispetto al precedente, è un grado di gestire anche la musica, oltre alle telefonate; così posso fare suonare Spotify dallo stereo in maniera wireless, senza più dovere collegare cellulare o tablet tramite cavo alla presa aux: grande passo avanti. Come dicevo, una volta associato il device (e se ne possono associare diversi), il bluetooth lo aggancerà sempre in automatico e velocemente, così appena si entra in macchina, lo stereo inizierà immediatamente a riprodurre musica da cellulare o tablet senza dover armeggiarci su. Rispetto al modello precedente, i tasti sono posizionati in maniera più razionale ed efficiente ed una volta capito il sistema di gestione, sarà molto facile navigare nelle opzioni. Essendo un modello analogo, non ho dovuto portare l'autoradio a far montare da un professionista ma è bastato agganciare il connettore. Le cose importanti da tenere presente sono le seguenti: nella scatola non è presente il connettore antenna (che andrà acquistato separatamente a circa 5€) e l'attacco jack del vecchio microfono non era compatibile (ma nella confezione era presente un altro microfono con l'attacco "giusto"). Molto soddisfatto: Alpine, una garanzia.
