Alpine CDE HD137BT Car CD Receiver

Alpine's CDE-HD137BT CD receiver lets you put your Pandora stations right where you want them — in your dash. You can change stations, skip tracks, and rate songs just like you do online. Your smartphone and a free Pandora app are the key. i-Phone lovers, all you have to do is connect your phone to the front-panel USB input, while Android and Black-Berry users get full control through the Bluetooth® connection. Ever have that confusing conversation over Bluetooth where your caller keeps asking you to repeat what you're saying? Alpine gives you the tools you need need to end those annoying calls. First, you can mount the included microphone in a good spot in front of you so it'll have no problem picking up your voice. Next, the receiver lets you adjust the mic's gain to best match your speaking voice. You can also tweak the phone output and ring volume, so you won't go diving for the volume knob every time someone calls. And, last of all, this Alpine downloads up to a thousand names from your phonebook, and allows you to search by alphabet to find the number you want. If your phone or another device supports Bluetooth music streaming, you can beam your tunes and control playback with the CDE-HD137BT. You won't get full control this way, but you can perform some basic functions like track up and track down. Best of all, no wires are needed. Alpine's HD Radio tuner lets you tune in digital AM/FM broadcasts, significantly pumping up the sound quality. Participating FM stations sound about as good as a CD, while AM stations sound like traditional FM. If you've got subs in your system, you'll appreciate the bass HD Radio puts back in your favorite tunes. Plus while your i-Pod's connected and you've got an HD Radio station tuned in, you can 'tag' songs you like for later purchase from the i-Tunes store. Audio features: 3-band parametric equalizer with ten presets built-in high- and low-pass filters. Expandability: inputs: front USB port, front auxiliary input. Outputs: 6-channel preamp outputs (2-volt front, rear, subwoofer).
