Consumer Reviews
I read about how the old KCE-350BT was plagued with persistent connection difficulties and was to be avoided. Regardless, I can happily say that the the KCE-400BT has no such concerns.
I was a bit weary obtaining this unit for a few causes, one being the connection worries mentioned above. Additional so though is the fact that my automobile is loud. I installed this in my modded BMW M3-- cabin noise is up there and with the window down and my foot on the throttle it's pretty loud. Not lengthy ago I was driving on surface streets with the window all the way down when I got a contact I answered it keeping the window down and intentionally hit the throttle pretty hard a few instances through the conversation to see how it fared. The outcomes were particularly impressive, I could hear and be heard perfectly fine all through the call.
My only true problem with it is that when I want to place a call (I have an iPhone) I cannot pick which number to dial when picking out the speak to to call (my contacts have multiple numbers), it just makes use of the very first number stored. I don't know if that is a failing of this device or my iDA-X303 head unit, but it definitely limits its usability. This doesn't genuinely bother me even though because I hate talking on my phone even though driving, I got the unit to be able to answer calls I have to have to although on the road devoid of having to go digging for my phone each time.
I lately received and installed the 400BT for my Alpine CDA-9883 and couldn't be happier. Audio good quality for the duration of calls is terrific, the auto interrupt functions flawlessly and applying the telephone function with in the CDA-9883's menu you can speedily redial and check missed calls.
The BT audio operates great as nicely, I've only streamed Pandora from my HTC thunderbolt so far but the bluetooth pairing works seamlessly and detects BT audio output proper away.
Only downside (quite minor) is a sequence that desires to be carried out in order to pair with an alpine headunit. For mine when i wired the 400-BT i had to do the following and the two methods that appear to trip persons up (myself included) are 2 and four. All in it took about an hour and a half to wire and setup (a lot of that spent discovering the below sequence).
1) set BLUETOOTH -- to Adapter in the CDA-9883's menu
2) Cycle the ignition (turn it off and back on)
three) Go into the menu pick BLUETOOTH Paired Devices, which must all seem blank
four) As soon as in the paired device menu, I set my phone to discoverable and it stored it
I've read on other forums that there could possibly be slight variations with distinctive headunits, but as soon as paired almost everything works flawlessly. Good decision by Alpine to outsource to Parrot.
