Add the convenience of hands-free calling to your compatible 2008 Alpine in-dash receiver. This package includes Alpine's KCE-400BT Bluetooth adapter, along with a KWE-460E cable that allows you to connect the adapter to your 2008 receiver.

Powered by Parrot, the KCE-400BT Bluetooth® adapter lets you answer incoming calls, place outgoing calls, and scroll through your phone book entries — all without ever touching your Bluetooth phone. In fact, once the system is set up, 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.

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