Alpine UTE-73BT CDE-172BT CDE-175BT Bluetooth Pairing Instructions

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Are you trying to pair a new phone to your Alpine UTE-73BT, CDE-172BT or CDE-175BT? Are you having Bluetooth connection issues with your Alpine radio? Audio streaming issues? This video explains how to resolve pairing issues with existing phones or how to pair a new phone to your Alpine UTE-73BT, CDE-172BT or CDE-175BT.
Whenever I experience connection issues or audio streaming issues with any aftermarket Bluetooth radio, the 1st thing I do is clear memory from both devices and try to repair. If the issue is still there, I make sure the operating system on the phone is up to date and all apps are up to date. If you're still experiencing issues with a particular app, try deleting the app and re-installing it. Lastly, make sure the firmware in the radio is up to date. These steps are how I usually resolve all Bluetooth connection issues with the Alpine UTE-73BT, CDE-172BT or CDE-175BT.

    with a UTE-200BT, these instructions work - and though only one of the two slots can be used for audio at a given time as per the vid, you can choose which slot has the ability to play audio using the AUDIO DEVICE option in the BLUETOOTH setup menu. (the BT on this stereo is a huge amount of hassle compared to every other bluetooth device ive ever used)

    Sorry to hear that Esther, perhaps you have a defective unit? In my experience I've been able to get quirky connections issues resolved by clearing the memory from both devices. There may be one particular app on your phone that is corrupt and causing a connection issue. I would try deleting and reinstalling the most commonly used apps. I have had to do this for a few different popular apps like Pandora, Waze, Spotify and various podcast apps for all different types of phones.

    Hello. This was very helpful. I have a 172BT. The problem I have since switching phones from a Samsung Galaxy 8 to a Pixel 6, last November, is the microphone only works when I talk into it to the phone to give commands, such as "Hey Google," but doesn't work during phone calls; i.e., I can tell Google to call my husband, and I can easily hear him when he answers, but he cannot hear me. Everything worked fine when I had the Samsung. The radio is older than the phone by 3-5 years or so, give or take, and the Pixel is so new that while the radio pairs with it and plays everything just fine over Bluetooth just fine, the phone calls go through, but people on the other end cannot hear me through Bluetooth, tho I can hear them. Would you recommend a firmware download or something else? I'm really annoyed and baffled by this problem. Thank you so much.

    Hi Diana. It's possible you need an update, there is a link in the description for updates. You can go into the settings on the radio to check firmware and compare it to what's on the website. It kind of sounds like the mic is just not working period and perhaps the "Hey Google" part is getting picked up by the phone's mic rather than the radio? Did you by chance have a windshield replaced or anything like that? I commonly see mic's get damaged during that process. Or do you by chance have a smartwatch also connected to your Pixel? I see smartwatches throw off the Bluetooth or CarPlay/Android Auto connection for most phones. If you have a smartwatch, I recommend turning it off before you get in the car otherwise the phone gets confused on which device to route calls through. I hope that's helpful!

    What model phone? If you're comparing say an iPhone connected via USB vs Bluetooth, you will definitely have slightly less output/quality on Bluetooth vs USB, but it shouldn't be like 1/2 as loud for example. If it's a pretty big difference in output level between sources I would recommend resetting the radio by pressing and holding the bass engine button (below track forward) and preset #6 at the same time for 3-5 seconds. Clear the device memory from your phone as well and try pairing process again.

    That definitely sounds like a microphone issue, but you could try a hard reset on the radio. I've seen a hard reset (wipes memory totally clean all settings) resolve that issue once before, but 99% of the time, that's usually a mic issue. Check out PacParts.com for a replacement mic.

    Can you confirm that it shows Bluetooth is turned on in the same settings menu? If it's definitely on and you've cleared memory so there are no devices stored, I would try restarting your phone 1st. If your phone still doesn't show it after a restart, you may need to do a hard reset on the radio which will delete all settings (resets the clock, radio presets, display color, etc.). kzread.info/dash/bejne/iJ58j9SAeNSyg6w.htmlfeature=shared

    Looking through the manual there does not appear to be a mute function. For your second question, I need more information about the exact situation. Do you mean the music pauses randomly? Or is it pausing when your secondary device rings? If you mean randomly that sounds like a streaming issue. If you are using a music app like Spotify or Pandora and you don't actually have music downloaded to your phone, and say you drive through an area where you only have like 2 bars of service, the app will buffer and pause to finish downloading the rest of the music. I find this incredibly annoying so rather than stream, I download all my music while connected to WiFi so it never pauses while driving through varying cell coverage.

    Sounds like you maybe missed the 1st step and the radio is not in sleep mode. First you have to press and hold “back” button below knob labeled “sleep”. Then press and hold setup. It’s a different BT menu when the radio is on vs when it’s in sleep mode and it has to be in sleep mode to get to that BT Initial option.

I ended up exchanging it for another brand because I couldn’t figure it out. We put a Pioneer in and that worked out for them. I wish I had a better answer!

    That could be a phone or app issue or a radio issue. Unfortunately I'd recommend doing the process again and also just restarting your phone as well. If the same issue still occurs, I would do a hard reset on the radio. Just keep in mind that will restore it to original settings so you'll have to reset the clock, your stations, display, etc.

    I would do exactly what I did in the video, I've seen that before and usually just clearing memory from both devices resolves weird BT streaming issues like that. The other thing to check is does it only happen with one particular app? I've seen that too where I have to delete a client's app and reinstall it (Pandora, Spotify, etc.). Sometimes a client will realize the pausing/skipping only occurs after they've opened up another app or received a notification from another app. Check your background refresh settings on all your apps, I turn off whatever isn't necessary. Another thing to consider is what your streaming settings are vs your cell coverage. If you're trying to stream Tidal in high-res or Apple Music in high-res lossless in an area without the best coverage, the buffering can sometimes sound like that sort of pausing/skipping while still appearing as though it's still playing on screen. You could try downloading vs streaming if you think that could be the issue. Lastly, you can try a soft reset on your phone in addition to clearing memory from both devices. Hopefully one of these tips does the trick!

    Oh, I misunderstood, I thought when you said the radio stays on, I thought you meant it plays on the AM/FM radio and audio only cuts out on Bluetooth. You mean the radio doesn't power down, gotcha! I would try a hard reset. Press and hold preset #6 button and bass engine button (below track up button) for 3-5 seconds. If that doesn't work, got to check all your wiring, make sure your ground is solid and check all your speakers and speaker connections. If you have one bad speaker, or one part of the speaker terminal is touching metal in the door frame, the radio will see a dead short, overheat and go into protection mode where it turns off the internal amp (radio will stay on, but no sound). After a bit it may cool off, come back on, then heat up again and turn off.

    That is bizarre. What type of files are loaded on the USB? It should be able to play MP3, WMA, AAC and FLAC files. Might have to do with how it's organized on the drive. The radio can read 256 tracks max per folder/album and 256 max folders/albums. If you have no folders and just a bunch of tracks on there (over 256 tracks), that could be part of the issue.

    Sounds like your radio doesn't have constant memory. What kind of car is this in? Is your radio retaining other settings/memory like the clock, radio presets, etc.? If it's not retaining other settings, then it's a wiring issue, need to check your constant power/memory wire. If it is retaining other settings like the clock/radio presets, try what I did in the video - clearing memory from both devices. If that doesn't work, try to reset the radio completely by pressing and holding the bass engine button and preset #6 at the same time for 3-5 seconds. Then clear the memory from your phone and try pairing again.

    Thank you for the details! This is what I suspected because it's a very common mistake in European models since the wiring instructions don't always come with an insert to advise you. In select years/models, you have to reverse the ignition/constant. Sometimes the aftermarket Euro wire harness will have red with a yellow trace and yellow with a red trace to denote that in some models the constant and ignition wires are reversed. Try those two wires and see if that resolves the issue.

    Hi Stephen, sounds like two possibilities. Perhaps you missed the 1st step about putting the unit into sleep mode? Most common issue I see is that. To do that, press and hold the back button arrow until the unit goes into Standby mode (radio is off - but clock still displayed) then when you press and hold setup and you see General pop up, scroll past General until you see Bluetooth and select that option. That or maybe you selected General settings instead of scrolling over to Bluetooth? It's a hierarchy, but I think the 1st option that pops up is General. Turn the knob until you see Bluetooth, then push it in and scroll to BT IN. I hope that helps!

First check the firmware version (in that same menu) and see if it actually needs an update. This is the latest firmware update page for the UTE-73BT - bit.ly/3lVNVN9 This is where you can download the instructions and the actual firmware. I recommend using a small USB drive like 8 or 16 gig and format it FAT32. Download and extract the update to a blank, formatted USB, then pop it in the radio and go to back to the firmware menu in the radio. Select firmware, then scroll to and select FW Update by pushing the knob in, turn the knob to yes and push in to start the update.

The other issue is to insure you bought the EXACT mic for that model. They vary from model to model. See pacparts.com to look up and purchase exact mic compatible with that model if it is actually a faulty mic.

I'd also make sure BT is turned on the radio, the owner's manual explains how to access settings to turn BT IN on or off. I don't see how to delete old devices, but there is a reset button behind the face of the radio you can try. That is a hard reset so it should clear bluetooth memory and all other settings like clock, presets, display, etc. You can find the owner's manual on Alpine's support website - www.alpine-usa.com/support/owners-manual
