After about 3.5 years is now the replacement instrument broken. The problem lies in the signal path upstream of the power amplifier that outputs rarely a sound in Richtug in speakers. In addition, two buttons are already dropped and had to be glued. My follow-up device will be a different manufacturer. A pity, especially the digits Wahlfeld I liked the AR820.
----- End ----- UPDATE
I have 820 cm car coaxial speakers (60/240 watts) black / silver speakers and various adapter cables combined in my Passat 3B installed the AR with the Magnat Dark Power 162 2-way 16.5.
On Anfgang disillusionment: the booster on the radio was broken. So returned to Clatronic and again four weeks later get. It was repaired, what I did not expect in this price range. But well, it worked (at last).
Overall, the radio makes a good impression. It looks chic, the sound (frequency range, sound, channel separation) could be better, but in the many background noises while driving is eh zwimlich equal.
A big plus is the speakerphone, which allows phone calls via Bluetooth. The connection works fine, the caller sees a good and you even the interlocutor. Am very satisfied! Even a phonebook is built into the radio.
USB flash drives have been all 2sec easily innerhal. recognized; also played the part of all mp3 without grumbling.
It is striking that the sound from the radio receiver unit is paler and unbalanced sound than the sound from the rest of the input channels (USB, Bluetooth, CD). SD Carden I have not yet used; this is also impractical because the card slot is located under the control panel.
Overall, I am satisfied. The sound is ok, TOP functions, repair / customer service a bit sluggish and some mistakes in the Bediehnungsanleitung (spelling and naming key error), so there are deductions in the evaluation.
