How To Reset Alpine UTE-73BT
Step 1. Switch On The Radio
To reset an Alpine UTE-73BT, it must be switched on. If it’s not on, locate the power button and press it. You should see the stereo display light up.
Step 2. Locate The ‘’(.)’’ Button
Your next course of action should be to identify the ‘’(.)’’ button. You should see it between the skip buttons. To be more precise, look at the controller knob. There are three buttons on the right side of the knob. The top button is the skip-forward button, and the bottom one represents the rewind button. The ‘’(.)’’ button should be sandwiched in between.
Step 3. Locate The Number 6 Button
Then, you have to find the number 6 button on the bottom row. Look just below the ‘’PANDORA’’ inscription, and you will find the number 5 button. Number 6 is at the opposite end of that button.
Step 4. Press Both Buttons Together
Press and hold both the (.) and the number 6 buttons at the same time. Within three to four seconds, the unit will shut down and reboot. After the stereo reboots, the stereo will return to its factory settings.
PS: This is the standard resetting method for all Alpine CDE and UTE series radios. So, if you want to reset other models that come from the Alpine CDE and UTE lines, you can follow this procedure.
How Do I Connect My Bluetooth To My Alpine UTE 73BT?
Step 1. Press The Setup Button
Press the setup button to access the Bluetooth feature. Look at the buttons that sit right under the control knob. The button on the far right is the setup button. It has a music note symbol, which should make it easier for you to identify it.
Step 2. Select The Bluetooth Option
You will see a host of options like ‘’display’’, ‘’general’’, etc after entering setup. Rotate the knob till the Bluetooth menu appears on the screen. Once it does, select it by pressing the control knob.
Step 3. Choose The Pairing Option
You will have to browse through multiple options again after entering the Bluetooth section. Look for the pairing option by rotating the knob. Tap the knob to enter once it appears on your screen.
Step 4. Pair Your Device
Now, you will have to pair your device with the stereo. The Alpine UTE-73 BT lets you connect two devices at the same time. The primary Bluetooth slot is for audio streaming and hands-free calling.
The secondary one is only for audio streaming. So, make sure to connect your primary phone to the first Bluetooth slot if you want to take and make calls while driving.
When you click pairing, you will get the option ‘’set device 1’’. You can find the option to set up the second device by rotating the control knob. Click set device 1, and you will see the name of the stereo on display. A Bluetooth should blink on the upper right corner of the screen, indicating the stereo is actively looking for a new Bluetooth device.
You will see a pairing request on your phone if you keep your phone Bluetooth on. Accept it, and the stereo will pair with your phone.
Once the pairing is complete, the Bluetooth icon on the screen will stop blinking. You should also be able to see a phone icon and a music icon next to it, indicating you are paired for both calling and music streaming.
You can set up the second device by following the instructions above. We should remind you that you will only get to listen to audio with the second paired device. So, there will be no phone icon for the second Bluetooth device.
