So, I was driving to work one day and I had just gotten a new phone. I was excited to pair it with my Alpine UTE 73bt so I could play some tunes on my way to the office.
But, I couldn’t seem to get the darn thing to connect. I spent the whole drive fiddling with my phone and the radio, trying to get them to talk to each other. I finally gave up and just listened to the radio. But, it bugged me all day at work.
I eventually figured out how to reset my Alpine UTE 73bt Bluetooth and now I can play all the tunes I want on my way to work.
Here’s a fun fact for ya: The first Bluetooth technology was developed in 1994 by Ericsson, the Swedish telecommunications company.
