## Questions & Answers

**Q: can you make it cycle through colors?**
A: It's "variable color illumination", meaning you can adjust and customize the colors to make them the colors you want. They don't cycle. You choose or customize a color for the "display", and another color for the "key" color (surround and button color), for a pleasing color combo. Or make it all one color if you want. Once they're set, they stay that way, unless you change them, or disconnect the radio from power. Then you have to re-set the colors again. I've chosen an orange/red color for my "display" and blue for the "key" color, since I like that combo.

**Q: does it have rca inputs for subwoofer/amp?**
A: Yes it does. It has outputs for 2 speaker amps and 1 subwoofer amp.

**Q: Is this unit compatible with Bluetooth version 5.1?**
A: Yes mine had Bluetooth usability. But not great sometimes difficult to initiate

**Q: What wire harness do i need for a 1998 chevy Silverado?**
A: You would put in the year and model of car to determine that.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by A***O on 14 April 2024*

Alpine UTE-73BT jamas había tenido un alpine, y por el precio de 1800 a 2000 que encontré nuevo, decidí adquirirlo, de pionner económicos (1,100 a 1, 300 pesos mexicanos) que había tenido, duraron solo un par de años, la primera impresión al sacar el autoestereo de la caja, se noto claramente la calidad de los botones y materiales. La segunda impresión fue el sonido de las bocinas, claramente se escuchaba más fuerte y nitido los sonidos que en mi anterior estereo. Incluso diría que hasta el subwoofer se noto un pequeño cambio en sus vibraciones. Fue un cambio excelente. En cuestión del Bluetooth no he tenido problemas para que se conecte, yo lo conecte los dos cables de positivo directos a la batería, No que se prendiera al girar la llave del carro. A veces solo tengo que entrar al celular y poner en Bluetooth que se conecte al estereo, solo cuando apenas entro al carro y tengo que hacer una llamada inmediatamente o poner música. El único problema que yo le pongo, es que si desconectas el autoestereo de la batería, todos los cambios que hiciste no se guardan. Que en pioner por más días sin estar conectado se queda con la configuración que tenia. Por el precio y calidad mas no se durabilidad aun solo tengo 2 meses con el. 9.5 de 10
