Alpine CDE-136BT

It's the most expensive system on test, but as with the Pioneer, we think the Alpine is worth paying for.

Overall Auto Express rating

4.0

It's the most expensive system on test, but as with the Pioneer, we think the Alpine is worth paying for. It adds Bluetooth to a strong features list, with six presets, front and rear USBs, an auxiliary input and a CD player. Plus, it provided clear sound quality. Its menus are as simple to use as the Pioneer’s, too, although the screen doesn’t present you with as much information as its rival’s does.
