Alpine intros eX-10, iPod integration and Bluetooth calling
By Joe • Nov 14th, 2007 • Category: All Articles
Alpine is delighting us with their new device, the eX-10, which features a 2.4” full-color screen (dash mountable) and the ability to connect to an iPod (and navigate thru your endless selection of Michael Bolton) and make hands-free calls via Bluetooth. Installation is as simple as sticking it on your dash (suction cups), connecting it to your cars cigarette lighter, clipping the mic to the car’s visor. From there, you can pair up to 4 phones (A2DP support) and connect your iPod. Controlling the device is via a remote (I would’ve like the device to have a touchscreen) and you’ll be able to navigate your collection of 80’s music the same ways its done on your iPod, thru albums, playlists, artists, etc.
It also features a built-in FM transmitter, but we all know they don’t work very well, so you might as well get the thing installed professionally to take advantage of the 3.5 mm output jack. The eX-10 will set up back $199 and should be available in a couple of weeks.
