Almost Great:
I bought this unit for the SD card reader. I'm kind of amazed how few units have this feature, considering that it is tailor made for mobile audio. GOOD: SD CARD READER-I live on a bumpy dirt road-no skips, ever! And I can put a dozen CDs on a $10 2 gig card in 256k MP3. (Also has aux input on front. USB cable connects in the rear, so you have to route it out somewhere). SOUND QUALITY PRICE/VALUE BAD: TUNER is weak (Blaupunkt doesn't even publish specs for tuner sensitivity, it is so bad-even the American distributor didn't know. If you really dig, you can find them on the Blaupunkt website, but they use a different measurement than everybody else, I assume this is to avoid comparison.) If you live in an area of good reception, you will probably not have a problem. In fringe areas, expect static. Also, oddly, if you choose "US" type radio frequency allocations, it does not recognize odd frequencies for FM ie 93.5-you have to choose European, and if you do that, AM frequencies are missing. Design flaw? TONE CONTROLS-I would appreciate a couple of faders on the front, as tone adjustments are the most frequent thing you want to access to make up for differences in sources. As it is, you have to scroll through several menu levels to change the tone - a pain while driving. That said, the tone circuits are flexible, 3 band, with tunable Q points, and there is a "mega bass" boost that is easily accessible from the front......and I do appreciate the volume control, a good old rotary knob. CONCLUSION: I don't know why a company that is known for it's tuners is so far behind all the other brands in reception. Other than that, a pretty cool unit.
