The CDE-104BTi has a built in Parrot Bluetooth module, offering the convenience of having phone conversations through the system and can be updated to support future handset models. It enables you to display the phonebook, received calls, display missed calls and dialled numbers. The receiver's built-in Bluetooth capabilities let you take your phone calls through the receiver while you keep your hands on the wheel.

The CDE-104BTi is compatible with all later generation iPods and iPhones on the marketplace (cable included) and provides the same ‘Quick Search’ function where music can be located by album, artist, song, play-list, genre, audio book or composer. The Alpine CDE104BTi also has a front USB port for use with memory sticks, and contains a dust cover so the port can be closed when not in use.

The receiver also features a front 3.5mm AUX input for ultimate flexibility and has different switchable illumination colours to match the dashboard display of the car, with a choice of either blue, red, green or amber. The rotary volume knob makes it easy to adjust the volume, and you can tune the stereo's sound with the audio controls. Two sets of preamp outputs ease the job of adding external amplifiers to your system.
