TuneIt and Share It

Alpine TuneIt® is an easy-to-use sound-tuning app to get the most out of your vehicle’s sound. Download the free app onto your iPhone or Android smartphone and create a user profile about your vehicle and Alpine sound system. Features include increased vehicle choices for easier profile set-up, an expanded database of Alpine speakers and subwoofers for more precise sound system tuning and Bass Engine SQ tuning to tailor the in-vehicle bass characteristics. Follow the simple Alpine TuneIt graphical instructions to adjust sound settings for your specific vehicle or choose from pre-made settings in the database. Settings that can be adjusted include Parametric EQ, Crossover, and Media Xpander. You can make and save up to 100 different sound settings in your account, which is helpful if you want various settings to use for specific types of music. Share your settings and get rated on your tuning skills, plus try out and rate settings made by others. The more active you are, the higher your profile status progresses within the app.

Bass Engine SQ: Bring Balance to Your Music

Use the Bass button on the faceplate (or the Alpine TuneIt app) to get the best tonal balance and efficient power distribution to all (front, rear, and sub) speakers independently. Bass Engine SQ tuning provides tonal balance by automatically adjusting different combinations of EQ, Sub Level and Crossover settings through the choice of five bass profiles (Standard, Punch, Rich, Mid Bass, Low Bass).

BT Plus, Bluetooth Hands-Free Calling & Audio Streaming

Don’t fuss or fiddle with your phone and say goodbye to uncomfortable headsets and earpieces. Most importantly, stay focused on safe driving. The UTE-73BT is equipped with Bluetooth wireless technology so you can carry on your phone conversations in the car without additional adapters.

Audio Streaming Has Never Been Easier

Do you have a large music library on your Bluetooth-enabled smartphone? The UTE-73BT can stream and control your smartphone's music via Bluetooth. Want to listen to your iPhone without plugging-in? Stream your music via Bluetooth. Whether you have music on your iPhone locally, on iTunes Match or select third-party audio apps, the UTE-73BT can stream your tunes!

Microphone Included

This unit comes with all that’s needed for Bluetooth convenience. The UTE-73BT comes with a tuned microphone that’s engineered to reduce noise interference and feedback. This allows optimal placement in your car, for the best possible sound quality.

Making, Taking Calls & Call Waiting

Making and taking phone calls has never been more convenient. Use the supplied microphone to speak, and then listen through your car’s speakers. When a call comes in, your music mutes to carry the phone call. View caller information including Caller ID, Missed, Dialed, and Received calls right from the head unit display. If you receive a second call, you can have the first caller wait momentarily by pressing “2” for call waiting mode. Once both calls are finished, the mute for music is deactivated. This truly makes the transition from your phone calls to music enjoyable and convenient. You can even use the UTE-73BT’s preset buttons to quickly jump through your phone book, making navigation through large phone books much faster.

Hands-Free Calling Sound Customization

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 five sound quality settings to choose from to get the balance just right for you. This flexibility will make your phone calls a pleasurable experience.

Steering Wheel Control

If your car has factory Bluetooth steering wheel controls, then it will also control your new UTE-73BT’s built-in Bluetooth. Or, control your head unit right from your factory installed steering wheel controls by adding a third party adapter. Use an adapter from popular brand names such as Axxess or PAC to add this feature.

Made for iPod® and iPhone®

It’s convenient to control your iPod or iPhone music in the car – enjoy seamless operation of your iPod in addition to full control of all your favorite media sources. Control all search options of your iPod directly from the UTE-73BT via Playlist, Artist, Album, Song, Genre, Podcast or Composer. The USB connection allows for high-quality iPod playback and delivers an even faster access speed so you’ll find songs as quickly as you expect to find them on your iPod.

Find it Fast with Quick Search and Alphabet Search

Get access to and control of all the songs from your iPod or iPhone right from the head unit! Large music libraries are no problem with a faster connection speed. With Quick Search featuring Alphabet Search, you can easily scroll through long lists of music by skipping through the letters of the alphabet. Once you find the letter you want, you can jump to the exact song! With so many ways to listen to thousands of songs, now you can get super-fast access to Playlist, Artist, Album, Song, Podcast, Genre and Composer.

App Direct Mode

Listen to even more music from your iPhone or iPod with App Direct Mode. This new feature offers basic app control (Play, Pause, Track Forward, Track Back) and displays metadata directly on the head unit from numerous third-party apps so that you can enjoy your drive even more and expand your listening choices without fumbling with your phone.

Charge Your Phone

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 nonstop music and power your phone at the same time.

Works with Pandora® Internet Radio for iPhone® and Android™

Whether you have an iPhone or Android smartphone, Alpine gives you full control of Pandora straight from your dash.
