Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this unit alongside the Dual BTM60 Bluetooth module, to replace my existing bluetooth car stereo. I was really looking for a good way to mount and charge my iPhone whenever I was in the car, and do hands-free calling. But this unit was a huge step backward in terms of sound and call quality from my Clarion head unit. I reviewed the BTM60 separately (which has absolutely terrible audio quality), but for this I will focus on just the head unit. The sound quality is decent - not amazing, but better than a stock stereo. But it is definitely not made for an iPhone. When I put my iPhone in, I can hear so much background noise as it charges (it's almost like you can hear the high-pitched trickling of electricity every 2 seconds). Blasting the music hides it a bit, but it's just not acceptable to have that when listening to music - they should have done a better job isolating the charging circuitry so it didn't interfere with the audio signal. Aside from that, because of the way the faceplate folds down, the iPhone is at an upward angle. Since most car dashes are already angled, this makes my iPhone point up at 45 degrees, making it hard to see the screen because it's facing the ceiling. So 2 days later, this car stereo (and bluetooth module) were uninstalled, and my trusty Clarion is back in. It's shocking that nobody has created a decent iPhone-mounted car stereo, but I guess we'll have to just keep waiting.
