Overall Auto Express rating

3.0

Best price: £72.99

The UTE-72BT is a great head unit, with front-mounted USB and auxiliary ports for your accessories, as well as Bluetooth hands-free connectivity.

But while most mechless systems are smaller, and easy to install in tight-fitting dashboards, this is the same size as a normal CD player. We expect Alpine to address this in its imminent range revamp.
