First, that radio has a nice big monitor. It can be all very well read and also the look of feature films not mutated to Mäusekino. It permits simple and intuitive operation.
The screen is sharp and contrasty. What is special like the fact that when you turn on the light, the screen darkens and when driving at night a non-hidden and you are always forced to switch the menu.
Secondly, I find the mix between the operation via touch pad and the existing function button (bottom bar) very successful. The most important functions can thus be easily handled, unless the steering wheel remote control is available. Because too much play around the radio and concentration when you press any buttons on the screen, can easily lead to accidents.
The design of the radio and convinced the material processing a quality image. What I particularly like is that the monitor via servomotors not only up and down moves the CD change, but you can continuously adjust the tilt angle of the center console him. In this model is to be noted that you can not remove the panel, for theft protection. If that bothers needs to the next higher version avh 8400 access for 475 euros.
I particularly like the menu structure that is almost self-explanatory. There are many options to choose from, especially for the right sound tuning boxes. The color matching the buttons of the display background, etc. can be adjusted individually and adapted to the automotive interior lighting.
With me everything is lit green beautiful.
The load times of CD and DVD are very fast, with USB is so ne thing, especially for large files or full and large sticks (comes to the stick at).
Tip from me: you buy a USB-SD Adapter for the plug and upload your music prefer to ne micro SD, which is much faster and better.
The Bluetooth function is just great and you do not want to miss. Tested with Samsung Galaxy S2. Without problems and speech and sound quality are really good. It is very nice that is shown on the display and battery status and reception quality and can be controlled via the display.
Connections such as USB and Aux can let lie down where you need it and where they do not interfere, especially, as the micro.
TIP: If you can install, then arrange everything beforehand and think. Also remember that you so connects the radio that even while driving films can be seen, otherwise watching the passenger in the tube.
Radio reception is great and it also has 18 program memory locations are available for all stations in your area.
The manual (if they still need time) is very clear and you'll quickly find the relevant information you need.
Went to me at least that. Could probably. be more detailed, but to me it was enough.
Now for some criticisms (a matter of opinion)
how beautiful often mentioned, you need to make such a radio installed several additional components in modern cars. However, this is due to the car manufacturers who design their center consoles so individual that it happens to not avoid many additional parts to buy to a standard DIN double radio installed.
Many people would just have the factory radio or they have enough money for 900 euros and more an expensive all-in-one radio to buy that really can do everything and also high-quality amplifiers and equalizers includes. If this is not so, it takes usually a diaphragm, a mounting frame, a terminal adapter of Ethernet port on ISO connector. The modified connections have the background that today amount of information presented in the factory radio as Rückfahrwarner, heated seats, etc. capable of being represented only so. It should stop acting all of a piece, also by the networked systems of electronics and their use in everyday life. This has downsides for those who want to change all that. Say there is a lot of additional costs added beside the radio buying.
Me did not bother because it manufacturers like Pioneer and JVC can inter alia nunmal nichts.Kostenpunkt everything together: Around 100 euros, wenns not cheap crap to be (particularly with regard to the connection adapters for the electrical system).
