Description Crutchfield Hands-on Research
 
Alpine Authorized Online Dealer

Add the convenience of hands-free calling to your compatible 2008-up Alpine in-dash receiver. Powered by Parrot, the KCE-400BT Bluetooth® adapter lets you answer incoming calls, place outgoing calls, and scroll through your phone book entries — all without ever touching your Bluetooth phone. In fact, once the system is set up, you can leave your phone in your pocket or purse when you get in the car — it connects automatically when you turn on your stereo.

When a call comes in, your stereo mutes the music and you'll hear the caller over your speakers. The included microphone uses Active Echo Cancellation technology to ensure that you'll be heard loud and clear on the other end.

The KCE-400BT also works with select 2008 Bluetooth-ready Alpine stereos. Check the "Hands-on Research" tab for compatible models. For those receivers, you'll need the KWE-460 connecter cable.

Note: Compatibility of this device may vary, depending on your phone and service provider.

Impressive February-01-12
Reviewer: Steve from Springfield, VA  
Equipment: I'm using the iPhone 4s, the Alpine KCE-400BT Adapter, and an Alpine IDA-X305S receiver.  

Install: Easy install if you know how to remove your receiver to connect the adapter. Only 4 wires to connect...I simply spliced 3 of them into the existing wires (red to red, yellow to yellow, black to black) and then I connected the Pink/Black wire to the unused Pink/Black on the harness.  

Pairing: The adapter paired to my iPhone on the first try and began playing music. I turned bluetooth On on my iPhone and it showed the adapter within 10 seconds. On the Receiver I went into the Setup Menu and set Bluetooth to 'Adapter'. Back on my iPhone I clicked on the Alpine Adapter entry and it paired immediately. When I turn off the car my music apps pause (most of them anyway). And it picks up playing from the same app/song on startup.  

Performance: From my iPhone I can play audio from my Music app, any radio apps, Pandora, Last FM, and just about anything that outputs audio. The quality is nearly that of my direct iPod Cable connection. That means really good!  

I have a simple dashboard mount for my iPhone so it sits prominately on my dash. I found that it plays the audio from just about any app while also displaying the picture on the iPhone's screen.  This is perfect for GPS and other navigation apps. While using GPS the music fades out, the GPS speaks, and then the music fades back in. The same goes for when making/receiving phone calls.

Bluetooth January-24-12
Reviewer: Ostdude from Ventura ca  
Product works great with my iPhone 4s after setting it up all I have to do is turn the key and it automatically connects and activatis my iPod music and starts playing the music through Bluetooth ... It doesn't show what music is playing on the sterio the only downfall... But other then that I've had no problems with the device... It poses the music and answered the phone does everything it advertises .. Great product..

I paired it with Alpine IVA d106 and DHA S690 changer and works as it should from day 1.  I have this in a soft top Hummer and people can still here me at highway speeds which is surprising.


 
Pairing Issue Resolved November-16-11
Reviewer: JohnnyY from Glendale, CA  
Head Unit: CDA-117 Phone: Iphone 4s Bluetooth: KCE-400bt (Firmware 311)  

1. Pair a second phone to the KCE-400bt.  Check to see it's listed in the paired devices on your head unit.  Doesn't have to be connected.  You just need more than 1 phone listed in the paired devices list. 2. Turn off the car.  Put second bluetooth phone out of distance from head unit (just in case).  3. Turn car back on and WAIT about 1 minute for your phone to pair automatically.  Do not interrupt it from pairing by clicking on buttons.  Just leave it alone and it will pair in about 30 seconds to a minute.  If your Iphone 4s (the phone I used) says it's "connected" then it's paired and you can test on the head unit.  

This method has worked for me and stays connected even after the car is shut off and turned back on.  

Be sure to: -Have Int Mute off -Have your phone listed on #1 of paired device list and not #5, which is the guest account. -Make sure Pink wires are connected to each other on your head unit and KCE-400bt
