Customer Review

Since now less than a month I call the radio my own.

True, I was amazed how much you can pick out from the speakers in the car compared to the original Blaupunkt radio system.
Even at higher volumes no greater distortion or noise in which one thinks, the membrane leaving the same door trim.
Playing all the different media works fine, both the integration of the iPod and the cell phone via A2DP succeed right away.
In USB drive mode, you must be careful, however, because the reproduction takes place not by title number or alphabet, but after copying order. However, the file browser and the pretty successful Zapping function about comforting away (attention: who is browsing or zaps, thus switches the shuffle mode).

Two things, however, interfere in the otherwise successful device:
The speakerphone
... Was designed apparently only for the Asian and the colonies of the British. The built-in microphone is located behind the front panel on the right side of the radio. While driving in uncased with scarf plates vehicle you have to almost scream, so the interlocutor understands one, although the micro-sensitivity is set to "High".
"Remeasured" With the computer, I found out that also the Microphone volume is relatively small (there was probably asleep at the preamplifier).
Small remedy an external microphone that you can not buy in Germany, but with a little skill can build itself. Here you can set the priority of the microphones without prejudice to the instructions.

Second disturbing factor: Lighting
In daylight, the lighting of the control elements is indeed very bright, but at night or dusk they interfere massively, as they appear enormously (depending on the installation of the radio). Unfortunately you can not dim them, unlike the display illumination.
The only remedy is to open the control panel (loss of warranty!) And masking of the LEDs. Then you also in the dark winter months pleasure in the part;)
