Price Paid:
$100.00 Summary:
Our 1990 Plymouth Grand Voyager came with the Infinity factory system, which sounded pretty good stock. The front speakers are too small and too bright, but that's another issue. For $100, I can't complain. But a head unit at any price should have a display that is legible from many angles. The unit is place halfway between your head and the floor and we cannot read it!!! At night, when no sun light is present, there is so much background light that the lit up LEDs are the same brightness as the "turned off" LEDs. We have to lean down and look head on with the display to read it. It gets quite annoying when the radio has the only clock in the car. If the unit is almost head high or faces you, it would be very good, especially for $100. But this serious flaw holds it back. I've noticed many other Blaupunkt stereos with this same problem. Strengths:
Sound quality
Large volume knob
Channel level meters Weaknesses:
You cannot read the display 22 out of 24 hours a day.
Button are stiff and hard to push.
Face plat seems pretty loose compared to other fold-down face models.
Removable faceplat mechanism is real crude (have to push the retaining frame back into unit after sliding face up - sounds like a last minute job to me). Similar Products Used:
Stock Chrysler Infinity Cassette deck (cassette mechanism failed). Did not put out as much bass as the Blaupunkt.
