Digital media receiver with Bluetooth

An affordable single DIN upgrade that brings Alpine sound quality to your car, with a front USB (with charging), 3.5mm AUX, FM/MW/LW tuner and built-in 4 x 50W amplifier.

Browse songs, albums and playlists from your device or directly from the head unit. Compatible with recent iPhone and iPod models, including iPhone X and iPhone 8.

Android phones and tablets can also connect via USB cable (not included). Select tracks on your device or use the head unit's control knob. This uses Android Open Accessory 2.0, supported on the UTE-201BT.

The built-in Bluetooth module supports hands-free calling and wireless music streaming. A microphone is included. Spotify and other streaming apps can be played wirelessly from your phone via Bluetooth.

FLAC files stored on USB media are supported, delivering higher audio quality than standard MP3.

Fine-tune the sound using Bass Engine SQ, 10 EQ presets or the 3-band parametric EQ. Two 2V pre-outs allow connection of external amplifiers, or use the built-in 4 x 50W amplifier for direct speaker connection.

About the Alpine UTE-201BT

From our tech experts at CEN

A head unit, replacing the factory stereo in a single-DIN aperture.

Who it suits

Drivers who want modern Bluetooth, USB and radio in an older vehicle without changing the look of the dash. A sensible upgrade for classics, work vans and second cars where a screen would be out of place.

Our tech experts advise

The unit is the easy part. A vehicle-specific facia kit, a wiring harness and usually a steering wheel control interface decide whether the finished job looks factory or aftermarket, and those parts differ by model, year and trim. We confirm exactly what your vehicle needs before ordering — get in touch. See car stereo installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will this stereo fit my car?

A: Most vehicles need a fascia panel, wiring harness and sometimes a steering wheel control interface to fit a new stereo. Contact CEN with your make, model and year and we will confirm the exact installation kit needed, or browse our Connects 2 installation kits.

Q: Will I keep my steering wheel controls?

A: Yes, in almost all cases. A steering wheel control interface retains your existing buttons with the new stereo. Parts are sold separately.

Q: Does this stereo support Apple CarPlay or Android Auto?

A: Check the Specification tab, which lists smartphone connectivity for each model including whether CarPlay and Android Auto are wired or wireless on that unit.

Q: What is the difference between single DIN and double DIN?

A: DIN refers to the chassis size. Single DIN units are the traditional slim format, while double DIN units are twice the height and typically carry a touchscreen. Your vehicle's dash aperture and fascia kit determine which fits.

Q: Can CEN supply and fit the stereo?

A: Yes. CEN offers professional supply and installation from our Nottingham premises, including fascia, wiring and steering control integration. Contact us for a fitted price.

Q: Does the Alpine UTE-201BT have Bluetooth?

A: Yes. It has a built-in Bluetooth module for hands-free calls and music streaming, and a microphone is included.

Q: Does the UTE-201BT have DAB radio?

A: No. It has an FM/MW/LW tuner with RDS. For DAB+ digital radio, the UTE-204DAB is the equivalent model.

Q: Can I connect an iPhone to the UTE-201BT?

A: Yes. iPhone and iPod connect via USB using the KCU-445i cable, which is not included. Android phones can connect via USB using Android Open Accessory 2.0, or stream over Bluetooth.
