Installation Notes

The Alpine UTE-83BT is designed to fit standard Single DIN dash openings and features a shallow 4.25-inch chassis that provides additional room behind the radio for wiring and installation accessories. Most vehicles require a dash installation kit, vehicle-specific wiring harness adapter, and antenna adapter. If your vehicle has factory steering wheel audio controls, an optional steering wheel control interface can often retain those features.

If you're planning to add aftermarket amplifiers, the UTE-83BT is worth the upgrade over entry-level receivers. Its 4-volt preamp outputs deliver a stronger signal to your amplifiers, helping reduce background noise and giving your system more headroom for clean, dynamic sound.

Complete your installation with:

• Vehicle-Specific Dash Kit
