Alpine Comes through again
Anthony from Sierra Vista, AZ on 5/22/2020
2012 Harley-Davidson Street Glide
Fantastic radio. Replaced the stock head unit in my 2012 Street Glide with this...maximum pleased. Good fit, and easy to install. Paired it with the Apline KTA-445A Power Pack and the Rockford Fosgate R165x3 6 1/2" speakers......nice combination. Head unit is easy to operate and definitely exceeded my expectations.
Pros: Easy to install, great reception and clear crisp output.
Cons:

Good receiver
Roy Gavilan from Williamsburg, VA on 5/19/2020
2000 Porsche Boxster
Nice single DIN receiver. Instruction manual not too clear. The manual doesn't explain clearly show how to do things. Easy installation except the instructions did not say to plug in mic jack into back of receiver into red plug. Mic jack not shown on installation instructions. I thought it plugged into front of receiver into Aux jack but mic did not work plugged in there. Had to remove receiver after I completed job to plug in mic jack in back of receiver.
Pros: Nice receiver that does every thing I wanted. Like the auto radio channel scan and USB slot.
Cons: instruction manual not too clear. Not enough color combinations to match my dash dial colors. Should have probably bought the next receiver up in price with more options. Installation manual did not show where to plug in mic jack. Only two phones can connect to Bluetooth.

Great Little Deck, especially for the price.
Crutchfield customer from Portland, OR on 5/14/2020
2010 Nissan Cube
Great little deck! No real concerns, was easy to install into my Nissan Cube - only 'hiccups' at all is that the cube's build in microphone doesn't interface (even with the adapter kit) to the deck, so I still had to wire in a new mic (included), so now my car has two. Also, this seems to only support two bluetooth devices, and if you need to add a 3rd, you have to delete one of the two in a very non-intuitive menu. All in all, a good system for the price!!

Bang for the Buck
Robert from Fairport, NY on 5/9/2020
2001 BMW Z3
Swapped for a factory BMW Business CD in a 01 Z3. Wanted Blue tooth connectivirty after using GROM Aux In add on on factory unit. Purchased the Crutchfield cable wiring option which saved time and potential errors on install. Sound was much improved over factory unit. Cons as other have mentoned Big Bass Eng button should be the menu button or phone button. Bass Eng kills the Mids and Highs in use. BT connectivity to two phones both Iphones 7 and XR is sometimes slow or intermittant. Pandora reconnect sometimes plays /pauses until a reconnect is needed. White display option is not white it is more blue. Amber to match BMW is easily washed out in sunlight. Easy install, thanks Crutchfield for the free parts. Missed the small print about the rear support of the factory radio being connected to the alarm. Needed to remove the Alpine radio to bypass the switch. Radio removal tool went right in the Alpine case instead of alongside. Should not be an opening there to allow to happen. For this price it is a deal, I can sell the OEM radio for more than twice the price if desired.
Pros: Easy swap for factory HK unit.
Cons: BT connectiivty not so reliable. Tuner output sounds hollow.

Great modern basic unit
Crutchfield customer from South Gate, CA on 4/28/2020
2005 Subaru Impreza WRX
Being that entertainment is now centralized around your phone, this unit suits mostly anyone perfectly. I decided on this basic unit from Alpine without a CD player and I have no regrets. One less thing that could break right... After the initial setup and configuration, I now go into my car and drive away without much of my input. Bluetooth auto connects, launch audio app, and I am good to go. Also, on the plus side, sound quality has improved greatly compared to the previous head unit I replaced. Whatever software sound processor and/or hardware output Alpine has won me over for any future decision. Attest to their quality.
Pros: Options for the display color - consider this a plus since some basic units don't give you that option. Sound quality.
Cons: None.

Easy install. Fairly easy to go thru the set up. I like being able to change display color. Bluetooth set up was really quite simple. It paired up with my iPhone easily. All in all it is a good deal. Receiver looks good .
Pros: Easy set up. Easy to pair with smart phone. Option to change display color is great .
Cons: Receiver not as selective as I thought Alpine would be. My older Boss receives more stations than the Alpine. Dashboard install kit's direction not very clear on assembly of it .

Todd from Heber City, UT on 4/12/2020
2008 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
5 stars for price but some features are difficult to understand and next to impossible to adjust while driving. Set up is somewhat simple for someone over 40. Sound quality out of the box is really good but trying to fine tuning bass, mid treble sub is not as simple as it could be. 4 stars because pressing the huge Bass Engine button and personal adjustments are overridden sound goes flat with insane bass. The large Bass button should be replaced by the phone button. But honestly for the price I could not be happier, I do miss a CD player though. P.S. Alpine if your reading this I would have paid quadruple for a new classic Alpine 7900 series with bluetooth/phone capability, simple and can adjust with the eyes on the road. I would purchase again it is a good value for the $$.
Pros: Great value for the price
Cons: Bass button is dumb in how it manipulates the sound, it should just add Bass to preferences.

Michael from Santa Cruz, CA on 3/23/2020
2001 Ford Mustang
Perfect stereo for me. Since I have always been a Alpine fan. I don't remember the last time I played a cd and all my music is on my phone, or a flash drive these days and I occasionally listen to the radio. This Alpine brought my 2001 Ford Mustang convertible up to speed with hands free calling, Bluetooth and the USB. What sealed the deal was that it also has a usb For playing music on my flash drives and can charge my phone. It has the same ALPINE quality that I have grown up with only at a better price point. I was looking for a nice black sleek looking Alpine detachable face and this fit the bill. It works as great as it looks. Easy to install in 10 minutes much bang for the buck Thank you Alpine
Pros: Looks awesome, easy to use. Great quality product. It's an ALPINE
Cons: None

Decent unit, connects via bluetooth, allows display to change to different colors, brightness is adjustable.
Pros: Great price point, known brand name. Bluetooth connection works well, picks up last song every time I enter car.
Cons: It doesn't have the physical tactile response the stock unit does, but I imagine that's standard for any unit. Lots of scrolling volume knob to increase/ decrease volume, button labels are very small, source button stays very bright even though it's already a large button. Menu system for changing display settings and connecting Bluetooth rather hard to navigate, but booklet explains fairly clearly.

Crutchfield customer from Olathe, KS on 2/14/2020
1998 Toyota Tacoma
This is the 3rd receiver I've bought in the last year for 3 separate vehicles. Previous head units have run in the $300 - 500 range. This is the best one by far. It does exactly what I need it to do. It just works. I'm not an audiophile, but I think the sound is good, certainly better than the OEM head unit. It's sufficiently loud for my extended cab Tacoma. When I start my truck my phone automatically connects and the radio starts to play the last audio app I used (Audiobooks, Amazon Music, etc). You can program the keys and display to match your vehicles particular illumination color, which is neat. The best option though by far is the ability to have the display blackout after a few seconds. No more GLARING head unit when driving at night. I also love that it has a volume knob. My vehicle doesn't have steering wheel controls, and even if it did, I'd still prefer a knob. This volume knob feels very solid.
Pros: Reliable bluetooth Connects automatically Screen blacks out Viable color display
Cons: Antiquated USB port on the front. I'd much prefer a USB C, or at least a USB 3.0 on the rear so I could route my own port. Maybe I'm weird but I don't need a detachable faceplate, added complexity for no value.

Alpine UTE-73BT Lots of Bang for your Buck!
Crutchfield customer from Kings Mountain, NC on 2/12/2020
Decided to purchase from Crutchfield for Service after the sale. To many great reviews and satisfied customers, competitive pricing and that should say it all. Customer service is fast becoming a thing of the past and since I won't be installing this for a few months I did not want any issues if I had problems down the road. The Alpine UTE-73BT had outstanding reviews and is exactly what my Daughter wanted for her El Camino. I have always owned Alpine car stereo's and had great success with their products. I don't expect any less from this head unit. I will update after the system is installed. Thanks Ken

I bought this to use with my android phone, and it works perfect for that. It paired easily and the voice dial and other functions that I have used work as expected. Two minor complaints, (1) I have only been able to get clock to display while the function is displayed (it would be nice to see the artist and the time on the same screen) and (2) the brightness is still pretty bright at night, even when fully dimmed. Overall, I'm very happy with the purchase.

It's got the juice to make my jbl concert series speakers sound good with no amp in my 2002 nissan pathfinder, and it has the features I wanted. BT was easy to pair and works great, siri hands free works great, the tuner gets the stations it should, pandora, and all the media from my phone is played right through BT. Install was a breeze using the extras the Crutchfield provides. Super clean look and very straightforward, the finished product looks awesome. Just take your time and do it right. Buy the pry tools, you'll need them for many cars as the trim is a pain and can break if not done properly. I found a great spot for the microphone, near the deck, but it came with a very long mic wire that is plenty long to reach all the way around the dash and up the headliner. I also bought the optional remote, was hoping that would be standard but it's not. Of course, FAST shipping from Crutchfield and knowing them if I had any issue they'd have been very helpful.
Pros: clean look, BT, Siri hands free, good mic
Cons:

I purchased this as a replacement for an older Alpine which included a cd did not have bluetooth capability. It took me less than 10 minutes to remove the old unit and bracket and replace. The connections matched, so if was effortless. It is in a 1997 Mercedes E320 and looks like a factory unit. The sound and features are exceptional and it seamlessly connects to my iPhone or an iPod Touch which I use for my music. I could not be happier with the product and the service from Crutchfield.

Good buy
Crutchfield customer from Albuquerque, NM on 10/2/2019
1993 Ford F Series
It's everything I was looking for. The only function I am not happy with is the hands free phone mic which is hard wired and has to be mounted either on the dash or attached to the sun visor. Customer Service explained this helps eliminate noise from the a/c vents, etc. . I didn't buy this unit for the hands free function so I didn't hook it up.
Pros: Good price Lots of functions
Cons: Hands free phone mic is hard wired and mounts to top of dash or sun visor.

The Truth is Hated
Sven from Boston, MA on 9/30/2019
I remember when Crutchfield would give accuarate info and reviews and very disappointed with this purchase. First of all I am an audiophile, that is why I am loyal to Crutchfield and will make this review anonymously because I will continue to do business with Crutchfield. 1. The LPF can not be shut off. So if you have a mid bass you crossover higher than 120hz you will not be able to. Alpine should know sub amps have crossovers and this would be a problem. 2. This latest version is not compatible with the TuneIt app. 3. Only has a 1amp charger. Alpine should know that audiophiles spend as much money on their phone as their audio, especially with built in Pandora, and should have 2amp charging. 3. Pandora has the worse bitrate of music apps. Free Spotify is same as Paid Pandora. Tidal should be Alpines choice. I will be selling this and doing more accurate research on my next purchase.
Pros: Good for factory system to add crossovers and loaded sub.
Cons: Not for use with mid bass over 120hz, smartphones over 1amp charging, or with Alpine TuneIt app.

Pros: Easy installation, nice features, and good sound quality.
Cons: 18 watt radio, so if you need pain inducing volume it will need an amp.

Sometimes my IPhone phone doesn't connect immediately. Call quality both ways is excellent and clear. I'm satisfied with this head unit.

Crutchfield customer from Bryceville, FL on 3/27/2019

This is a great receiver with Bluetooth connectivity. The only issue I have encountered so far is that in order for the Pandora source to work properly I had to disable call functionality via the Bluetooth settings on my phone. Otherwise, I just leave the source set to BTA and play Pandora through that. I lose the functionality of the Thumbs Up/Down buttons, but I don't do that while driving anyway.
Pros: Ease of installation and use
Cons: Pandora only works with calls disabled through Bluetooth on your phone.

Alpine product matches their reputation for quality
Ken from New Zealand on 12/8/2018
2006 Toyota Land Cruiser
Most important is the service and support from Crutchfield. Without the human factor, a shop is just a shop. This is my second alpine from crutchfield. Not disappointed! Put into a 2006 landcruiser prado with a locally sourced adapter kit. Fits well, and because the original truck has double din, you get space for an extra storage pocket if you get one in the kit. The head deck is what is expect of alpine - good sound quality, sensible menus, good bluetooth quality. Colors make it nice to customize, but I'd prefer them to add a day/night setting so you can preprogram it (and a hotkey for quick change, or ambient light sensor to switch automatically). For example - white display during the day, and submarine-red a night. Guess you need to watch a few submarine movies to appreciate the red night color... The subwoofer control is excellent - this didn't change over the years and alpine realize that some of us like control over our sound. The bass/mid/treble setting is also very good, because many other devices don't let you control mid. Build in amp is ok to drive the 2x 6x9" and 2x 6" after-market pioneer speakers I have in the truck doors, especially in my setting of 80Hz cutoff and handover to subwoofer. It's loud enough to enjoy without distortion, since most of the power goes to drive the lows (which mine doesn't need to worry about). I give it 4 stars due to the many cons, but still 4 stars because it has excellent sound - which is #1 r
Pros: Spectacular audio quality. Same familiar alpine menus. At least that didn't change over the years.
Cons: Impossible to read the display when sunlight hits the screen. Keyboard key size tiny & position less well thought of compared to the mechless alpines a few years back - guess they wanted to change the look... Does not display file names like the older mechless alpines. Does not play audio sorted by filename, rather by physical position on the usb. Limit of 256 files per folder. You need to manually split up your collection into folders if you want to add more songs.

Bought this radio for a 1998 BMW M3. Fits great and provides all the functionality I need. Car has the HK 10 speaker system with the HK amp. Sound is greatly improved with stock (albeit 20 year old) speakers. Seamless installation and setup. Great value!
Pros: Easy installation Adapter kit simplifies wiring Seamless integration
Cons: None

Great sounding basic unit
Michael from Florence, SC on 10/18/2018
2003 Nissan Pathfinder SE
I haven't put this into full service yet. Currently have 2 bookshelf speakers in the back floorboard as temporaries until I get a chance to add my (4) new Rockford Fosgate speakers. But, so far it love it. It sounds great. And it plays FLAC files which is the main reason I went with this unit. The radio reception blows away the OEM Bose radio that was in my 2003 Pathfinder. I can't comment yet on the Bluetooth because it only works through front speakers, and I don't have them connected yet. My only dislike is the buttons and the writing is SO small on this unit that I can't read crap. Didn't think about that when I ordered it. Not the unit's fault though.
Pros: SOUND FLAC and SOUND
Cons: Small buttons and writing

Usability review, not the sound
Crutchfield customer from Export, PA on 9/24/2018
1995 Mazda Miata
This is a usability review, not a sound review--I installed it in a 1995 Miata, so sound quality is essentially undetectable beyond "not total garbage." The menus are typical "Alpine one-line display," lots of back and forth with buttons and the volume knob. Don't expect this to be easy like a touchscreen, but if you've used other Alpine products, you'll be in familiar territory here. If there is a way to make this HU wake up on car start and play automatically, instead of having to tap the "source" button every. single. time, I have not yet found it. Worst: I had bought this to use with music on a USB drive, to save a bit of battery on the Bluetooth. However, it re-indexes the music on the drive every time you start it up. While it does this, it skips around each song it's playing, playing a second here and a second there. I drove for 30 minutes and it still hadn't finished indexing, meaning I didn't hear one song play clearly. (I had about 3000 tracks on there.) I had to switch to Bluetooth based solely on that bug. However, the BT seems to work flawlessly, so there's that.

This radio is amazing! Sound is clear, easy to use and looks great. The Bluetooth is great for calls, people don't notice I'm using the hands free at all. I'm looking to buy a second one for my wife's car, her Soundstream stereo is the worst stereo we have had, especially because it's useless to take calls
Pros: Sound great Looks great Excellent for calls
Cons: Not compatible with the Alpine iOS app

Very good unit without all the fussiness
Gregory from Bellingham, WA on 8/20/2018
2001 Volkswagen Passat
Purchased to replace 2001 VW Passat Monsoon system. Final system: Alpine UTE-73BT HU, Alpine KTP-445A amplifier, two sets (F+R) Polk Audio DB6502+ speakers, and 14 AWG Stinger speaker wire from HU to Polk crossovers. The Alpine HU + amplifier gives very clear and balanced sound (and a lot of bass if wanted) through Polk speaker system (meets or exceeds the performance of the OEM Monsoon system). The HU is easy to set up and operate - a lot easier than the Kenwood KDC-X502. The front panel controls are relatively large (compared to the Kenwood) and laid out in an ergonomic way to allow easy access with minimal distraction while driving (compared to the Kenwood). The Tuner section has excellent FM reception (much better than the Kenwood), but the AM reception is very much less sensitive compared to the OEM Monsoon HU. Overall the sound an ergonomics are excellent, even while using the built-in equalizer pre-sets (didn't try to set up the 3-band P-EQ). I purchased the mechless unit because of the clumsiness of handling CD/DVDs and most of my audio files are in various digital formats anyway (mp3, AAC, flacc, etc.). I purchased two SanDisk Cruzer Fit CZ33 16GB USB 2.0 Low-Profile Flash Drive, loaded one with music and the other with podcasts, selected USB source and plugged the flash into the HU and HU recognized it instantly and started the playing (I was amazed) - beats using hard CDs/DVDs. I didn't set up the smartphone interface, so no review of thi
Pros: Easy to use while driving Excellent good sound quality Good bass when using the Alpine KTP-445A amplifier (recommended) Excellent USB interface (as CD/DVD replacement) Very good FM reception
Cons: Poor AM reception Lacks case for head unit Would prefer non-reflective display for easier visibility in sunlight Expected wide/narrow band setting for Tuner was not available at time of purchase.

Fantastic service and support from Crutchfield as akways. This unit was very easy to learn how to use, an important feature for a 50 year old. Much to my surprise, the FM tuner far outperformed the factory radio. Bluetooth features are easy to set up and use, with no instability in the pairing. Big improvement in sound quality even with the stock speakers. Very happy with head unit choice and with Crutchfield.
Pros: Easy to install, set up, and use. Great tuner and features.

Love you guys. You make it sooo easy to install a new radio into a vehicle by providing all of the parts and pieces to do the job. This is my second radio I've purchased and it's been a great experience. My daughter loves her new radio (a birthday gift). Keep up the great work and we'll be buying more of your product in the future.

Outstanding!
Pablo from Savannah, GA on 8/15/2018
2001 Jeep Wrangler
Back in the '80s, I installed Alpine car audio as a part-time job. The most popular car audio retailer in San Diego, back then. When I opened the package and saw the (free) wiring harness, I gave Crutchfield a sarcastic smirk. "What kind of amateur do they think I am?" After uninstalling all the old gear, I figured I'd at least look at the harness. Low and behold, I had the wiring completed and my new Alpine installed, dash back together in about TEN MINUTES. That's just too easy. Anyone who can't install this quickly, easily with zero frustration, maybe shouldn't own an automobile. As I expected, the Alpine looks and sounds fantastic. Plenty of power to drive my dash speakers, and line outputs for 3 amps, tho' I'm only using two right now. This is the Alpine quality, clarity and 'punch' I've loved since my youth. Exceptional.
Pros: Incredible sound, ample power, Display bright enough for use in broad daylight with the vehicle's top down.
Cons: None. Zero. Zip. Nada.

Crutchfield customer from Middleton, WI on 8/8/2018
2000 Volkswagen Passat
Worth every single penny (and more). Very easy to install, especially with the ready-made harness option. The display is extremely easy to read, even in direct sunlight. Controls are typical of an aftermarket stereo - nothing too complicated or complex, but definitely different than a factory unit where every function has its own distinct control or button. Sound quality is *amazing* - I installed this in a 2000 VW Passat (no Monsoon), and the difference is staggering. Bluetooth pairing works perfectly with my iPhone. I was tempted to spend more on a more extravagant head unit, but this thing is more than phenomenal. Don't hesitate - buy it and enjoy it. I wish I had purchased this earlier!
Pros: Clear display, incredible sound quality, flawless Bluetooth pairing, excellent value.
Cons: None

Installing the new Alpine UTE 73BT receiver into the SLk was a breeze with the help of the Crutchfield staff. Could NOT have done it with out them. The sound is tremendous. In fact it has created a new audiophile in my family. Before my wife really didn't care about the clarity of music until this unit was installed in her car. She was astounded by the 'new' instruments that were heard in the music. This is a really great unit. I'm glad we got it and I'm looking forward to replacing the unit in my car now. :)

This was exactly what I needed. I'm not a huge car audio guy, but I wanted to add Bluetooth connectivity to my 2002 Jeep Wrangler so I could listen to my streaming music service and use my phone hands-free while driving. It was already a discontinued model when I purchased it, but to get an Alpine for this price, including the dash kit and wiring harnesses, was an amazing deal. Thank you, Crutchfield.

Not as good as expected
Mary from Machipongo, VA on 5/30/2018
1994 Chevrolet Cavalier
The radio just did not have the quality sound that I thought it would. Before installation, we put in new upgraded speakers as well, but the quality even after adjusting the bass, treble, etc., just was not there. After removing the radio and reinstalling the old stock radio, it was clearly obvious that it was the radio that was lacking.... even the old one sounded rich and vibrant compared to this Alpine. I guess I will have to stay in the "old school" department for a while longer until I find the right one.
Pros: The radio had a lot of the more modern features I wanted (bluetooth, hands-free calling, etc.)
Cons: Just lacked the "punch" that I love to hear in a good radio. It lacked the quality sound that I am looking for.

This Bluetooth only receiver works great, the connection to my phone is fast and consistent. The only thing I would change is something that seems maddeningly simple and something I would assume is there: a button on the receiver to pause/play Bluetooth playback.
