The first thing that comes to mind when I think of Alpine<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0is the old\u00a0Lamborghini posters of the mid 80’s,\u00a0in some ways they are just like a Lamborghini with their sleek looks, easy to use controls and raw but beautiful power.<\/p>\n

They have never made dramatic changes to the way they look and has always had that sound quality that you would expect from a company that used Lambo’s to advertise their head units!<\/p>\n

The CDE-133EBT<\/a><\/strong> is Alpine’s<\/strong> most advanced Bluetooth head unit, featuring all-new Bluetooth hardware for seamless connection to many of the very latest Bluetooth enabled mobile phones. The CDE-133EBT<\/strong> also supports Bluetooth audio streaming with song tag information displayed on the screen. What’s more, the CDE-133EBT displays the phones battery level and signal strength. Plus, future Bluetooth firmware updates can be easily carried out via CD and USB.<\/p>\n

This superb head unit delivers comprehensive sound tuning capabilities including a 3-Band Parametric EQ, High Pass Filter, Low Pass Filter and Source Tone Memory. The CDE-133EBT<\/strong> is also equipped with a front USB input for iPod\/iPhone or USB memory and a 3.5mm Auxiliary input for portable music players.<\/p>\n

For greater usability the CDE-133EBT<\/strong> features direct iPod control mode to allow passengers to use the iPod interface for direct iPod operation.<\/p>\n

My favourite features has to be the built-in Bluetooth hands-free Parrot kit and that it is\u00a0Steering Wheel Remote Control Ready*. Which allows you to replace the factory-installed head unit without loss of this convenient option.<\/p>\n

*Alpine head units that are steering wheel remote control ready allow you to control your head unit right from your factory installed steering wheel controls using an Alpine Steering Wheel\u00a0adapter. Even tho this option is an extra I would be inclined to buy it just to make make my driving experience that much more safer and lets admit it, who wants to be looking at the head unit \u00a0to change songs when driving.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
