MICROPHONE INCLUDED
This unit comes with all that’s needed for Bluetooth convenience. The UTE-73BT comes with a tuned microphone that’s engineered to reduce noise interference and feedback. This allows optimal placement in your car, for the best possible sound quality.
MAKING, TAKING CALLS & CALL WAITING
Making and taking phone calls has never been more convenient. You can set up your cell phone/head unit to automatically answer your calls. Use the supplied microphone to speak, and then listen through your car’s speakers. When a call comes in, your music mutes to carry the phone call. View caller information including Caller ID, Missed, Dialed, and Received calls right from the head unit display. This truly makes the transition from your phone calls to music enjoyable and convenient.
HANDS-FREE CALLING SOUND CUSTOMIZATION
To bring sound balance to your hands-free experience, you can adjust the UTE-73BT’s mic gain, phone output and ringtone volume. If that’s not enough, there are two sound quality settings to choose from to get the balance just right for you. This flexibility will make your phone calls a pleasurable experience.
AUDIO STREAMING HAS NEVER BEEN EASIER
Do you have a large music library on your Bluetooth-enabled smartphone? The UTE-73BT can stream and control your smartphone's music via Bluetooth wireless technology. Want to listen to music from your iPhone without plugging-in? Stream your music via the Bluetooth connection.

If you have an Android smartphone, the UTE-73BT is compatible with Android AOA (Android Open Accessory) 2.0. Use the USB connection to access AOA for better sound and control over basic Bluetooth® audio streaming. These functions are delivered through the faceplate keys.
STEERING WHEEL CONTROL
If your car has factory Bluetooth steering wheel controls, then it will also control your UTE-73BT’s built-in Bluetooth functions. Or, control the UTE-73BT from your factory-installed steering wheel controls by adding a third-party adapter. Use an adapter from popular brand names such as Axxess or PAC to add this feature. The UTE-73BT is also compatible with the RUE-4202 Wireless Remote Control (sold separately).
MADE FOR IPOD® AND IPHONE®
It’s convenient to control your iPod or iPhone music in the car (requires the KCU-445i, sold separately). The USB connection allows for high-quality iPod or iPhone music playback so you can enjoy your music library while on the road.
RBDS INFORMATION
The UTE-73BT can display song name, artist name, and radio station name if this data is broadcasted by the radio station.
CHARGE YOUR PHONE
Standard in-vehicle solutions may drain the battery of your phone but with the UTE-73BT, your phone charges via the USB cable (sold separately) so you can enjoy music and power your phone at the same time.
