Looks like the Pioneer 4150 will also do WAV files off USB/SD etc. That's nice! The Kenwood 5xxx 2DIN also seems to have Time Alignment, not bad for an under 20K HU.

New Kenwood's and pioneer's,Nice to see good things lined up,Looks are getting better,i hope they sound the same as well

rudrah · 17th December 2008, 17:13

The new Pio models looks better...

Any idea about the price range the new Pio 4150 or 5150 would be in grey market?

Hmmm... Looks promising!
We'll be able to get one soon here in grey. Right?

Btw GUNBIR, how about listing up what BBW has on store this year?

live2drive · 22nd December 2008, 12:44

Dunno how much time will these products take to reach us in grey..

Interesting - there are no HUs with a nice display like the 7950 or 6050.

Looks like 2009 is the year of the CD 2DINs. First it was Kenwood and now I have a sneak peek of this Alpine 2DIN. Check it out, its the Alpine CDE-W203Ri.

Looks like it has front Aux in, USB, CD and (direct / indirect) iPod, bluetooth connectivity. Notice the knob is based on the IDA series HUs for iPod browsing.

Let's just hope they get the pricing right for once.

Merry Christmas everyone!

"Alpine Electronics has announced the UK launch of their new 2009 head units compatible with Apple’s iPhone and iPods.

The CDE series –
CDE-104BTi,
CDE-103BT,
CDE-102Ri and
CDE-101R/RM –

consists of four digital CD/Radio receivers with iPod and USB music file control. The head units offer full speed connection for iPods and iPhones, say Alpine, and give users complete seamless control over all media sources whilst on the move.

The whole range is compatible with iPods and iPhones currently in the market (only the older generation 1G and 2G iPods are not compatible - if you want to be sure yours will work ok, call Alpine's UK technical department on 0845 313 1660, or check with your dealer). All the models provide the same ‘Quick Search’ function, where music can be located by album, artist, song, play-list, genre, audio book or composer. They also have a front USB port for use with memory sticks, and thoughtfully include a dust cover so the port can be closed when not in use.

The CDE-103BT and CDE-102Ri offer front AUX inputs and are available in four different illumination colours to match the dashboard display of the car, with a choice of either blue, red, green or amber. The CDE-101R/RM display is available in two different colour versions; green or amber illumination, while the CDE-104BTi has blue illumination.

The CDE-104BTi and CDE-103BT have built in Parrot Bluetooth modules, offering the convenience of having phone conversations relayed through the system and can be updated to support future handset models. It enables you to display the phonebook, received calls, display missed calls and dialled numbers. The CDE-102Ri and CDE-101R/RM models are both Bluetooth ready, with the option to be upgraded with the new Parrot Bluetooth KCE-400BT interface from Alpine, giving users full mobile phone access and wide phone compatibility.

These are seriously well spec'd units. Even the entry level CDE-101R/RM boasts the front USB connection, full iPod/iPhone compatibility, 4 x 50W built-in amplifier, pre-out connection1 (2V level) for adding an external power amp, playback of encoded MP3 CDs, Subwoofer Level Control and HPF (electronic high pass filter), separate bass and treble adjustment and Bluetooth-ready feature.

The CDE-104BTi adds goodies such as the Parrot Bluetooth module built in, Bluetooth microphone, dual pre-outs for additional amplifiers, and both WMA and AAC music file format playback as well as MP3."

excerpt from MMSA News: Car Audio - CD Players - Alpine launches new iPod/iPhone compatible head units

So it looks like Alpine is finally upping their game (features wise) and catching up with the rest of the industry. If you were craving for a budget Alpine HU with USB, Bluetooth etc looks like their 2009 lineup is for you!

greenhorn · 1st January 2009, 11:15

I wonder how they will be priced here. If only alpine were available at grey rates everywhere :(

nitrous · 1st January 2009, 11:33

Are these the replacements for the 988x?
