sup guys i searched and didn't see anyone posts about the blue tooth ready option on the alpine CDA-9885. i just picked this up cause i lost the face plate to my old CDA-9856, and i had to have the iPod ready option again, now the CDA-9885 is blue-tooth ready, so i'm kinda glad i lost lol cause it forced me to upgrade and i am very pleased with this new unit. the display is soo much better, only thing is i'm kinda of confused on which blue tooth interface to go with? blue tooth ready means i have to blue the separate modules to make the blue tooth option work with my new unit, there is the alpine Blue-tooth Interface Module KCA-100BT and the KCE-300BT. will they work with my t mobile sidekick3? i wanted to see if any one on the broad has had any experience with this? does it work well? pro and cons? any help would be appreciated..

they are booth the same price, i did find them a bit cheaper on eBay, i guess the 300 would be better but i dunno?

here are the links:

thanks!

 

i have the same headunit, and i do know you have to buy the module to hook up bluetooth to it, i think on alpines site it has a list of phones compatible with the headunit. theres some pretty cool features to it as to what it can do when interacting with your phone, but i just keep my headunit doing what it does best, playing music.

 

im gonna check the site... i mainly use the player for the iPod hook up, but it be nice to talk through the feature the stereo has, so i wanna try it cause i always forget my blue tooth earpiece at home..

 

well i wasn't able to find the list of compatible phones on Alpine's site, so i called three different distributors and all said it should but could not give me a for sure yes.

anyone else have some useful info??

 

go somewhere and see if you can demo it...

 

i asked if they had demos at the places i called and there was none... im surprised to see there isn't to much help or knowledge of the item at the places that sell it.

 

Here is the compatibility list of phones.

it wont let me see the list?
any ideas?

Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The Player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file.

 

hmm, no idea, it's just a 3.68 mb pdf file, it should work just fine. Perhaps try a different web browser.

 

ones wireless and the other one is not.

 

i want something like this.. have you got this to work for you yet?
