A good & complete package from Blaupunkt

USB connection / MP3 capability, Bluetooth hands-free function, Simple & Elegant design, and above all easy to use: When I was looking for a new car stereo for my car, these criteria were important for me.
For the first 2 criteria there are plenty of good deals. In the last 2 it will be difficult ... Although there are Alpine / Sony / Pioneer, etc, determined good radios, only the design is completely overloaded and confusing by the operator forth to me.
My favorite was the beginning of the Kenwood KDC-BT8044: my 2 round knobs and the large central display provides the perfect Kenwood from! Level of equipment a giant .... but exactly was the hook .. to the countless options, the operation is very Menulastig, even calling the favorite stations is about menus, here would be less clearly been more!
I attach great importance to safety when driving, I decided for the Blaupunkt. Although this does not look as good as the Kenwood, but has a tasteful and simple design, you can even adjust the display color of the vehicle and has a really intuitive operation.
The Bluetooth hands-free function works well.
It does not require external speakers, which I find great because this installation is much easier and you do not have a disturbing Lausprecher way.
The coupling betw. The Bluetooth devices is done without any problems, and the phone within a few seconds once you get in the car is einsteigt recognized.
If a call, mute the speakers, and you need only to press the green phone handset: Genial!
The agreement is in the vehicle is good, on the other side one hears, especially at high speeds on the highway noise a clear.
Switching betw. The different audio sources is very easy, as well as for Bluetooth streaming.
The folder search is logically the arrow keys, you can find the same the desired song.

Everything perfect? Nee, a few criticisms I would have:
In comparison to my former Kenwood radio, the sound is a little underpowered, but is for "normal" needs perfectly adequate
The display should be in the middle, then it would be much better with the FTA. Instruments harmonize.
The Tel.Support of 0.99 the minute I find a lot of nerve! By e-mail but also go and is free.
