Add the convenience of hands-free calling to your compatible 2009-up Alpine car stereo. Alpine's KCE-250BT Bluetooth® adapter, powered by industry leader Parrot, lets you answer incoming calls, place outgoing calls, and scroll through your phone book entries without ever touching your phone. You can leave your phone in your pocket or purse when you get in the car — it connects automatically when you turn on your stereo.

When a call comes in, your stereo mutes the music and you'll hear the caller over your speakers. The included microphone uses Active Echo Cancellation technology to ensure that you'll be heard loud and clear on the other end.

The KCE-250BT also works with select 2008 Bluetooth-ready Alpine stereos with the help of the KWE-460 connecter cable. Check the "Details" tab for compatible models.

Note: Compatibility of this device may vary, depending on your phone and service provider.

Q
Kce-250bt work for a iva w505?
eric  Mar 19, 2015
1 answer
A
It should work fine as it connects to the ANET port in your head unit. The 350 will also work. The main difference is the 250 will only work with the phone section of your phone. It won't play music from your phone through spotify, or any other music based app. You would be better off playing music through the USB port anyways. With that said it's an excellent phone Bluetooth module. It even accesses Siri on iPhone through the head unit. Hope this helps.
