The installation of the device turned out to be easy, after I acquired the necessary ISO connector at Bosch Service. These are not supplied by the manufacturer, as they must be for specific vehicles. I had intended to convert the existing car aerial for DAB + reception and operate with. However, this proved to be impossible because the device via two separate antenna inputs for DAB + or FM / AM has. Therefore, I have also installed the supplied disc antenna. This well-matched to the device. It is a dipole antenna, which does not require a ground connection. They should be installed to avoid receiving losses vertically because the DAB programs are also emitted usually with vertical transmission antennas. The reception characteristics of the radio unit are very good in combination with the included antenna. Only in topographically unfavorable positions are skipped. These are systemic and have nothing to do with the fact that the radio is processed deficient. Explanation: Poor FM reception is manifested in sound distortion and noise. In contrast, the Digital Radio able to receive error is offset to a certain degree. Is the measure exceeded aborts the reception, the older DAB reception is standard before even a "gurgling" sound.
The sound quality of the radio equipment are excellent. This applies to all transmission paths (CD / MP3 / SD / USB). Of particular note are the uncluttered panel and the associated ease of use, which has a positive effect even while driving. In the car before a Japanese unit was built, which was much more difficult to use, not to mention the nice to be regarded "disco" effects have caused additional distraction. By contrast, the Blaupunkt "Stockholm" focuses, as befits a "Sweden" belongs to the essential information.
The features of the device are measured by the price, exceptional. The Bluetooth phone handsfree function is excellent, as the wireless streaming of music or radio play files.
With the new "Stockholm 230" is the company Blaupunkt, in my view (I already think of the brand over 30 years of loyalty) to a difficult market another highlight succeeded.
