Alpine CDE-103BT Bluetooth ready HU

Hi all,

 

I have here for sale my 3 month old Alpine CDE-103BT HeadUnit.

 

It is a cracking HU with all the input you can every want. It has Aux in, USB, iPod (full speed control), and plays MP3 etc too! Whats more, it has Bluetooth BUILT IN! Yes, no more fear of getting fined for talking on your mob whilst driving ;) It also supports Voice Dial if your mobile has the function. It worked fine with my Sony Ericsson mob.

 

More information can be found here : http://www.alpine-electronics.co.uk/products/details/cd-head-units/cde-103bt.html

 

I will be throwing in the iPod cable as well with the package.

 

A quick run down of what you are getting :

 

1) The HU

2) HU case

3) HU mounting bracket

4) Microphone

5) Clip for microphone (I didn't use this, I just modded the interior reading lights to hold them)

6) The Adaptor Harness (Has some faults - read bottom)

7) Full Speed iPod cable

Bad points :

 

1) There's a very small mark on the HU but its not noticable and very minor. Its around 2mm in length. Doesn't affect the HU's performance in anyway. The pic is shown below.

2) The Blue wire (Aerial) is cut in half because I put in a switch. This prevents your aerial from going up even though you are not listening to radio. You can either solder them back or put a switch in like me :thumbs: No biggie.

 

The Remote wire(Blue with white stripes) is also cut. This is used to turn on the amps when the HU is turned on. I cut it because I couldn't find the right adaptor so I just soldered the wires from my amp to the HU wire. So it doesn't affect anything at all. You can crimp a new adaptor head on it or even just strip it and solder it directly to your amp's remote wire. If you do not have an amp at all you don't have to do anything ;)

 

The rest of the black wiring tape you see was used to connect to my gauges for dimmer, power etc. There's nothing wrong with them so you can just leave them alone.

Of course you must already have the Japanese to ISO adaptor leads since I won't be providing that. You should have that if you already have an aftermarket HU in your car.

 

You might also need an aerial adaptor for the HU but again, if you have an aftermarket HU chances are you already have those ;)

 

Right, the price then.

 

New ones are selling for around £160 (without iPod cable) at the moment.

 

I would be happy if anyone could offer me £100 delivered. ;)

£80 without the Ipod lead? paypal waiting?

 

Hmm, I prefer to sell it with the lead since its model dependant. I can't use it on my new Alpine HU due to the difference in adaptor shape.

 

I have an offer from a member for £90 (Delivered) at the moment but he hasn't sent the payment yet.

 

If he doesn't reply I would take 90 quid for it so whoever wants will have second dibs ;)

I'm interested in pictures of the map reading light mod for the mic.

 

I have this stereo and am not particularly happy with the current location of the mic. Clipped to the top of the drivers A-pillar.

Hmmm, I took it off so no pictures I'm afraid. It's a very easy job since the mic itself has a soft rubber thingy to mount the clip. I just pried a section of the light assembly and stuffed the rubber thingy in. It stuck well and never fell off lol. The position gave awesome reception as well since my missus in the passenger seat and my kid at the back can also chat perfectly.

 

I could have opened the assembly to go for the stealth look but what I did does the job anyway so I'm happy ;)
