I wanted to DAB (DAB radio in my bedroom I really liked in terms of reception quality) and CD player ('m too lazy every CD that I hear in a blue moon mp3 or convert so ...), as well as front-USB (there needs one does not explain why). In addition, I was the promise lured the display color to be adjusted individually.
The rest soon:
- Reception on FM and DAB is good. Perhaps the installed antennas owed, I can not judge.
- CD and USB key function without restrictions.
- Coupling via Blue tooth works with iPad (1) and my pathetic cheap phone without difficulty.
- The call clarity is perfectly adequate. Still better than a ticket.
- Operating and installation instructions are good and detailed.
- The display can be adjusted well by the many colors of the rest of the lighting.
- The volume control / input button is easy to operate. On my other JVC you like pushed by the flat, mean time button Enter times, with each transverse joint in the street anyway.
However:
- DAB Changing stations take sometimes really forever. I do not know if that is on the radio or on the transmitters.
- The menus are a bit confusing due to the many setting possibilities. May be due to me, the most important things are, however, adjusted quickly.
- Black high-gloss finish looks great noble, as long as it is new. Let's see how this is in two years ...
- No case for the control unit here, that's not your holy seriousness? See high-gloss varnish.
Everyone itself must come to an agreement, you know, beauty lies in the eye of the beholder on the form design. I have the radio mounted in a base console, it gets even a flap over it. But this only because the car is from 1972 and design technically now so not in harmony with the radio, which I find very chic otherwise. Emblazoned for the eyes of a (fully functioning) Blaupunkt Ingolstadt in series radio slot and looks outrageously good.
I would buy the radio in any case at any time.
