Our take on the Alpine KCE-433iV iPod® Cable

Alpine Authorized Online Dealer

Want to listen to your iPod through your compatible Alpine CD receiver? Connect this KCE-433iV connection cable between your iPod and your stereo, and you'll get super-fast data transfer and full playback control, while your iPod's battery charges as you drive.

Once connected, Alpine's Full Speed controls allow you to manage just about every playback function right from the radio's faceplate. QuickSearch™ makes it easy to find the music that you want — jump between artists, albums, and playlists at the push of a button. You can even scroll through songs using the rotary control knob. Album, artist, and song information from your iPod will show up on the radio's display, too. Warranty: 1 year.

Note: Sorry, Crutchfield cannot ship Alpine products to Guam or Puerto Rico.

Features

iPod/iPhone Full Speed Cable: The Alpine KCE-433iV Full Speed Cable allows you to connect your Apple iPod/iPhone to select 2009-up Full Speed compatible Alpine head units. It has an iPod/iPhone dock connector on one end and a "D-shaped" 13-pin DIN plug on the other end. The cable is 58" in length.

Alpine Headunit Compatibility: The Alpine KCE-433iV Full Speed Cable is compatible with select 2009-up Alpine head units that have a dedicated iPod/iPhone Full Speed connector. Once the adapter is connected, the iPod/iPhone appears on the head unit's display as a selectable source. Current compatible head units include the Alpine CDE-102, CDE-103BT, CDE-125BT, and CDE-126BT.

Note: The cable does not connect to the Ai-NET interface found on many Alpine receivers.

iPod/iPhone Compatibility: This adapter cable can be used to interface a compatible receiver to select iPod/iPhones with a dock connector. The cable gives you full control and full sound at full speed. You can quickly and easily search through all of the music contained on your iPod through Playlist, Artist, Album or Song searches. You can view Artist, Album, Song Information and Song Number right on the head unit's display. The cable will also power the iPod/iPhone and charge the battery. The Alpine KCE-433iV is "Made for iPod/iPhone" compatible and supports the following iPod/iPhone model features (as of January 2011):

Note: Apple iPod/iPhone software updates may change functionality results. If you download a newer software version, you may need to reset the head unit and your iPod/iPhone to regain functionality. If this doesn't work, you may need to revert to the older software version or wait until an newer software update is available.

Quick Search: With Alpine's exclusive Quick Search technology, you will be able to find what you want, the quickest and easiest way possible. With so many ways to listen to thousands of songs, now you can get fast access to Playlists, Artists, Albums, Songs, Genres, Podcasts, and Composers. No interruptions while you search, so you can keep enjoying your music.

Percentage Search: For especially big music libraries, Alpine's exclusive Percentage Search function uses the preset buttons for quick jumps to specific parts of the list (Preset 1: 0% to 16%, Preset 2: 17% to 32%, Preset 3: 33% to 49%, Preset 4: 50% to 66%, Preset 5: 67% to 82%, Preset 6: 83% to 100% of the song library). Conveniently jump from one song to the next with little effort.

Plug and play to the head unit, immediate communication with my 3rd gen Nano w/o any software issues and long enough to route from the head through the dash and under the center console to my armrest storage bin.

Works perfectly - iPod seems to sound better with this cable via the KCE-400BT than it
did when directly connected to the CDA-9885 head unit.

This cable is no joke. It's VERY heavy duty, the sound that comes through is crystal clear, and it charges my iPhone 3G very quickly. I was not crazy about the fact that it's this expensive.. but if you own an Alpine stereo that utilizes this cable and you own an iPod or iPhone, get it. The only other issue is that it may be hard to fish it through your dashboard depending on your vehicle.

The cable works as advertized.
Pros:
Simple to connect to the Alpine radio.
Cons:
Not so simple to get the cable from withing the dash to the outside. The Alpine radio connection is on the rear of the radio; i.e. inside the dash of the vehicle. In this case, a hole had to be drilled within the glove box to enable routing the cable from within the dash to the passenger area. Not the fault of the cable manufacturer. A poor design by Alpine radio.

This cable is a great way to integrate your ipod or iphone to your Alpine head unit.

I have an iphone 4 and an Alpine CDE-103BT head unit.
Using this cable, my head unit recognizes my phone as an ipod and will start playing music stored on the phone. I can also access my phone book which syncs with the head unit. If someone in my phone book calls their name appears on the head unit's display.

The best part is the ability to use navigation software. Voice guidance will dim the music volume to give you turn by turn directions.

If you're buying and Alpine HU with iPod capability...just get it. The
cable/HU works flawlessly (with compatible iPod...check the list) and the sound
is superb!
