Alpine has begun shipping its first audio-only double DIN car radio/CD. The model CDE-W235BT is for those who want to upgrade their car radio but don’t necessarily want to add video or navigation.
The unit includes Parrot Bluetooth with audio streaming and front USB plug for iPod and iPhone control.
Other suppliers offer audio-only 2-DIN decks, but the W235BT is Alpine’s first entry in the niche.
The deck also lets you playback music from a USB drive and is steering wheel control ready at a suggested retail price of $199.95.

This isn’t the first non-screen double din from Alpine. They had at least two Mini Disc units way back that had part numbers like MDA-XXXX.
