Customer Review

The XOMAX XM RSU216BT should act as a simple music machine in winter transition car, so I paid the price and all the advertised features, it should be more than adequate.

However, there are many problems:
1) The connection to the normal DIN connector (VW Polo) did not work, the lighting was even with key removed at. So, the supplied adapter must be used to cut and permanent and ignition plus to get the cables properly.
2) Once installed - never expanded again. I noticed this when I wanted it to rewiring again expand: The bezel around the radio sits as firm and is up and down (in Polo hardly achievable) festgeclipst so that man it must destroy with the supplied bracket on the mounting slots (for releasing the lock) to come.
3) sound and settings go for the price okay, but ...
4) ... the SD card operation is to hear a background hum. While this does not increase with increasing volume, but is annoying in quiet listening.
6) From USB everything is OK, but as with all inputs no folder jumps possible.
7) The BT playback from a mobile phone works, only the order of the playing track has not yet been opened up to me.
8) The BT-FSE works only partially. During incoming call the caller's number is shown on the display and you will hear a Raid Siren! (Otherwise you can not describe this tone) that an almost caused a heart attack. The volume I could not reduce. Can make calls to hardly one knows his opposite though perfectly through the speakers, but one hardly and with a strong whistling in the background. Although the radio very highly with me sitting and the distance to the Micro is low.
9) The radio reception is acceptable.

My Conclusion:
Conditionally for USB media and traffic quite well, Radio, SD and BT suck. Workmanship the price level corresponding to, all hard plastic and very hard pressure points of the keys as well as a fummeliger (because too shallow) volume knob.

All in all, I'd rather have the old "VW Beta" leave with tape in it and to bring me an FM transmitter ...

EDIT 03/21/2014:

I have my vote of two correct on a star ... the following reasons:

- The USB flash drive (no matter which of the individual attempts) is very loose in the device. If you come to this while the device (no matter what source) is in operation, it performs a reset! Probably made by the loose seat a "short circuit" in the USB port and gone are all the settings.

- The radio reception has proven to be underground out in retrospect. In the state still acceptable, the signal is picked up deteriorating while driving and you have strong interference. If "AF" or "TA" still switched on, the radio searches due to the disturbed receiving a wolf and can not find a transmitter.

- If you have "AF" or "TA" is turned off, so that a frequency is maintained, the radio receives after 10-15 minutes no more signal and is silent! Only a power cycle fixes this error.

- The display can be read only at dusk or in the dark.

Conclusion after 6 weeks: electronic waste !!!

I'll return it even though I do not hope to get a refund because of the expansion of the radio already damages exist (see above), but the waste is to the seller, please dispose of himself ...
