About the Axxera AC328BT
Be sharp
Be sharp
Simple styling and easy-to-use controls — I like to see that in a car stereo. Axxera's AC328BT CD receiver delivers a nice cosmetic upgrade for your dash, while ensuring that you'll enjoy all your music.
Sweet sound
Slide in a CD, or plug in a thumb drive full of MP3 files, into the front-panel charging USB port. With a powerful built-in amp driving your speakers, you're certain to enjoy the sound. And the sharp white-on-black 8-character LCD display is easy to read — day or night. Two sets of preamp outputs come in handy when you decide to expand your system with an outboard amp.
Bluetooth® audio
If you're like me, you get more and more of your music fixes from the cloud. Tapping into that is easy when you're on the road with the AC328BT's Bluetooth audio streaming. And of course you'll never miss a call. The built-in microphone simplifies installation while providing clear, crisp sound.
Bluetooth note: Use of this receiver's Bluetooth features will depend upon your phone's Bluetooth capabilities. Learn more in our article explaining Bluetooth profiles.
