surprises kept coming after the installation was ready: the iphone could not pair with the alpine, the galaxy SIII kept showing there was an error on something when pairing, the ipod did pair but for some weird reason even when i turn off the bluetooth option in the ipod the alpine can still give it orders hehehe weird.
the plastic case for the covert doesn't close.
the plastic control covert (where all the buttons are) doesn't come out easy and this is a big problem too because the plastic is so weak that it feels like it may break when you pull it out, and yes I am doing it the right way, but the release push rod is not releasing it all the way making the covert get stuck in a funny mid way.
so why two starts? the second stars is because it look good in the vehicle, it sure has lots of powers even when the right side of my car is now louder than the left due to the problem mentioned above, it is pretty easy to control, and because I'm sure that if I returned the item I would get a good one.
-handsfree calling with good microphone /sound quality
-excellent and rock-solid blue tooth support
-good sound
-Under $150
I've had it for about 6 months now.
Initial setup of bluetooth with my iphone 4 was AWFUL. I (as usual) was in a hurry and couldn't find the instructions, so I just mucked around in the UI. Eventually I got it to connect with my iphone. I was pleasantly surprised that the forwards/reverse/pause/play actually control my iphone which was awesome as I often listen to stitcher & pandora and when my 5 year old asks questions, I can pause it without digging through the iphone UI.
I started noticing a problem where 10% of the time when I started my car, it would not connect. This was with a 5.1.x IOS version. It worked great for several weeks, but then started having an issue. When I used the IOS interface to try and reconnect, it would spin and not connect. The only solution to this was to power down the unit and restart it. Since there seems to be no way to do this on the unit (no complete 'off' switch on the unit), it resulted in me turning off my car (often while driving) which would fix it. However, this is not the safest thing to do and I really didn't like it (but in many cases, i wasn't going to do a 1+hr trip without my preferred audio!).
After upgrading to IOS6.x the connection issue seems to have gotten a lot better (say 1/20 times), and when they happy, asking the phone to reconnect seems to resolve it) - but now the controls on the front face of the unit no longer seem to control the iphone, so I'm back to fumbling with the iphone everytime I want to skip forward and backwards.
Previous to this, I had a sony bluetooth unit with built-in micrphone. It didn't have the nice feature of allowing you to use the controls on the front of the unit, but it did connect every single time without fail.
Call quality on this unit is pretty good as well. I also use Waze and can get it so that I am listening to Stitcher with Waze prompting for turns etc at the same time - sweet.
Overall I'd give it 3 stars, because it's bluetooth support could be a bit more robust.
Pros:
Sounds great, nice control of the iphone via bluetooth, call quality is decent, not too expensive
Cons: bluetooth support could be improved.
2/23/2014: UPDATE!
About six months ago I switched to an ANDROID phone (Galaxy Note 3) and started having even more problems with it picking up bluetooth when I start up the car. I'd be swerving all around fiddling with the phone or the device while driving (dangerous). I eventually realized that if I shut off the car and turned it back on 75% of the time the problem would resolve itself. (Note that turning the power off on the device did not work, you have to kill the ignition). So, I have a happy and even more dangerous habit now of turning my car off on the road and quickly restarting it. This is, of course a ridiculous and terrible situation. I will be getting a new device soon.
Like MPick27 I have had connection issues where it wouldn't see my device with both phones, but it is far worse with ICS sometimes needing several reconnections before it will work. Even stranger, sometimes it will connect via BlueTooth to my music player but when I press the phone button on the CDE-133BT it will say "NO UNIT" on the display. However, if I initiate the call from my smart phone the call will correctly go through the audio system but then if I then try to initiate the next call from the CDE-133BT phone button it will still say "NO UNIT."
There is a deep menu selection to disconnect and then reconnect the phone. Sometimes this works though I have had the CDE-133BT completely lock up when I've tried this. When that happens, no buttons on the unit work. Because it is not reliable to reset this way I have gotten into the habit of shutting down the system by turning off the ignition and opening the door (I guess this is supposed to be a feature that it doesn't shut off 'til the door is open) which is a major PITA.
Like James, the microphone that came with my CDE-133BT does not do a good job, at least, that's what some people tell me and by assumption based on the number of times people ask me to repeat myself. When I have asked people what I sound like, they say I sound very far away or like I'm in a tunnel. I don't think it is the phone because it has been like that through both phones.
I have gone to Alpine's site searching for firmware upgrades and there do not seem to be any. The manual does not seem to show anyway to adjust the input volume for the microphone. I tried to call technical support today, but they are closed. If I get some satisfactory answers for how to fix the connection issues (like a firmware update) and for a microphone input volume adjustment method or microphone replacement/upgrade ability, I will update this review and change my three-star rating.
But, I was just trying to update the firmware this morning. I downloaded the right file from their website. It messed up my CDE-133BT and it cannot turn on now. I spent the entire day looking for solutions. It looks like a lot of people are complaining about the same thing. Google it and you will see for yourself. There is nothing you can do with the device once the update fails. All I need to do now it throw it away or purchase a used one and use my radio front which is like-new.
If anyone got a solution I will be surprised.
The volume knob has a dual function, twist to adjust volume, press to go into find mode. I constantly hit the button by accident when trying to adjust the volume. I do drive a 4x4 truck, so it's partially because of the rough ride. I'm sure I'll get used to it, and develop the right touch.
Secondly, the button to switch radio bands is kind of small. I switch between AM and FM frequently. Most people probably don't. Again, I probably just need to get used to the button locations.
I really like the built in EQ that includes Treble, Mid-Range, Bass. Allowed me to adjust the sound really well.
Oh, one other issue-- you have to buy a separate microphone so you can take a phone call-- If you pick up a call while your phone is connected to the Bluetooth the caller will not be able to hear you! They should have included the mic, but instead you have to spend another $30+ bucks to get one. For me, I had to pull the unit out of my dash again to install the microphone when I realized I needed one.
If you are a fan of stuff like internet radio, having your smart phone blast something like Radio Caroline right through the entertainment system is one of life's simple joys. That, and the ability to load just about all your music needs into 4gB of USB flash memory should truly light your happy rockets.
The radio comes with a microphone that you can mount someplace handy. When the phone rings, the radio stops pumping the Greatest Hits of Shelly Fabares and puts you into auto answer and hands free conversation mode. This works well even in my car with it's unbelievable din of background racket. In a more rational car, it would work even better.
So....no regrets. Of course, by the time you read this, the Alpine CDE133BT will be a "last generation" radio. This stuff changes quicker than a politician's promises.
You might get the impression I write this crap just for the fun of it. I do. But the comments about the Bluetooth and USB functions are still valid.
