New BT Plus Bluetooth Features

Don’t fuss or fiddle with your phone and say goodbye to uncomfortable headsets and earpieces. Most importantly, stay focused on safe driving. Many state laws require you to use a hands-free device if you are driving behind the wheel, and with good reason. The perfect way to stay safe and still carry conversations in the car is with the use of a hands-free device. Get the convenience of both with the CDE-HD138BT! This unit is equipped with Bluetooth wireless technology so there is no need for any additional adapters.

This unit comes with all that’s needed for Bluetooth convenience. The CDE-HD138BT 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.

Now, make and take phone calls conveniently. You can set up your cell phone/head unit to automatically answer your calls. 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 music plays again. This truly makes the transition from your phone calls to music an enjoyable, convenient driving experience. You can even use the preset buttons on the CDE-HD138BT to quickly jump through your phone book, or set presets with your favorite callers to navigate to your contacts much faster.

To bring sound balance to your Hands-Free experience, you can adjust the CDE-HD138BT’s mic gain, phone output and ring tone volume. If that’s not enough, there are 5 sound quality settings to choose from to get the balance just right for you. This flexibility will make your phone calls a pleasurable experience.

Expecting an important text message? The CDE-HD138BT can give you a notification on the display with a blinking mail icon indicator for 30 seconds while receiving a text message. The mail icon indicator will remain on if there is an unread message on a connected mobile phone

Plug in an iPod or iPhone

The CDE-HD138BT is more than just a CD player, it is designed to work with your iPod or iPhone - so you can enjoy all your favorites wherever the road takes you.

Connect your iPod or iPhone using the USB cable that came with your iPod or iPhone and you've got access to all your music, right from your head unit. Adding the optional heavy-duty, automotive-grade Alpine KCU-445i USB iPod/iPhone cable is an even better option. This cable can stand up to the rigors of in-car use unlike the cable supplied with your iPod or iPhone used primarily for charging. With USB you get convenient control so you can scroll through all your Playlists, Artists, Albums, and Songs - and view all your song information right from the head unit display. Enjoy all your music whe
