BLAUPUNKT Irvine70 Multimedia Car Stereo - Single DIN LCD Display with Bluetooth Streaming, Hands-Free Calling, MP3/USB Front Aux, AM/FM Receiver - Detachable Faceplate

This is a great budget option for a simple set up and is ready for amps as well. This is an old school German brand well known in the audio industry. It does lack dimmer , hard to see screen in bright sunlight but works well with bluetooth and sounds good. Considering this costs much less than the average out to dinner meal of two people, this is a great value.

This head unit has everything you need to listen to Bluetooth from your phone. Also has usb. Sounds decent and overall very worth the $40 I paid for it. I hope it holds up I’m using it for a 20,000 watt subwoofer system so I will find out

10/4.2022.. Screen stopped working, totally dead just over a year of pretty much daily use. Still can use it but I am blind when operating. I have two of these and I put the other screen that works in and the screen still was dead. Problem is in the main body of the unit.1/20.2022... Radio screwed up and would not turn off no sound and screen was rolling a bunch of 2's and zeros with other garbage in it. Had to pull car's battery clamp and when I reenergized radio works fine again. i have a feeling this will not be the first time I have to do this.My how the mighty has fallen. BLAUPUNKT products were once a pure quality across the board company now its low quality at least for this one BUT it gets the job done and not as poor of a job as I thought for a 30 dollar jobber.As for sound using just the internal amp outputs its as good as I think you can get when there is no at minimum customizable band equalizer(s) since all there is is Base/treble, loudness on or off and preset equalizers and they are terrible.The most surprising is how good the Bluetooth connectivity is. Once hooked up its very stable, fast and reliable. For me with my phone (Android Power) the sound quality via BT when playing music as the source/input is not as good as playing music using an SD card. Another plus with the SD card is when playing songs random its the most true random you can get. Most other ways of playing random on most other devices usually pick only around 40 songs to play random and it gets stuck playing the same old songs at random over and over again its VERY annoying. With this unit using the same 700 songs via SD card I just plunk onto all my devices and media forms I get to hear songs I almost never hear in most of my other vehicles.For receiving calls and having a conversation its amazing. I'll admit I may not know all what features it has and how to use them but as far as receiving calls WOW.. Phone in my pocket while driving I never expected this unit to actually work for receiving calls I was shocked when I did. The first call I had no idea how to answer the call but I tried a lot of buttons and didn't hit the right one in time so I used the phone to make the callback and this unit took over and the person on the other end asked me to stop yelling and had a very pleasant experience with the rest of the call.I have no idea if this unit has a microphone or uses the phones but the second call I ever received my phone was in my pocket and I knew that time what button to pick up and the caller said they could hear me just fine.My biggest complaint is since this unit is light and the sleeve uses quite soft metal and is not a tight fit between the unit and sleeve and the sleeve to the cars hole the unit moves around a lot when pressing the buttons. Without going into detail I had a real hard time getting the sleeve installed and never quite was able to get it very tight in 2 cars.The first car I got this for was a customer's car going up for sale to replace a 1980's BLAUPUNKT with a CD player that finally died and saw this unit and since it had BLAUPUNKT written on it and was 30 bucks it was a great deal since all I wanted it for was to show the speakers and power antenna were working to potential buyers. It worked out so good I bought one for one of the shop trucks without hands free calling.One interesting thing to me is in the car one it plays a little tone/tune when I turn the car off and in the truck it doesn't do it. Maybe there is a setting I need to change but I doubt it.I was a bit annoyed that even though the plugs between the 1980's BLAUPUNKT and this one are physically the same and slip into the holes the same the wiring is totally different. I was expecting to just unplug the old one and plug this one in with no wire work.No way this is ever going to replace any of my much better vehicles with single din's radio holes but for a work vehicle one its great. I'm tempted to buy a few more as backups since I don't have a good feeling theses are going to be as long lived as older quality units have been. It would be nice to just slip out the old dead unit and just plug in the new one with no cutting stripping and crimping and or soldering.

Instructions were great for installation. Installed as outside RV stereo, so don’t need anything fantastic. This does the job nicely so far. Good value.

This was a disappointment. Sure, it's a cheap radio. I got it mostly for the hands-free phone features, which work beautifully. In fact, that is the ONLY bright spot on this unit. EXCELLENT bluetooth!Otherwise, everything else is as cheap of Chinese-made lowest-end radio as any other one in this price range, so don't be fooled (like I was) by the name printed on the box.This ain't no Blaupunkt.Sound quality is mediocre. Radio reception is poor. All of the features are simply there for bragging rights, they don't embellish nor improve anything. The LED graphic animated display is actually bothersome and can't be turned off.

Great price. Sounds awesome. Super easy install

Unit installs easy, it's small and light. Fits a bill for a cheap audio source that I was looking forward.Sadly, it has failed in under 8 months and is no longer functional.Would not purchase this product/brand if they can't make it survive longer. This is not a daily driven vehicle, used maybe 3-4 times a month.Good luck on any warranty support. There's no response from Blaupunkt, so no support.

I purchased an old Corolla that had no BT connectivity. This works great for that purpose with a few quirks, it can't be perfect at 30 bucks. Easy to install. Used Metra install kit, Metra adapter wiring harness and Kuject low temperature solder splices (use a Bic lighter to make solder connection.) There is a big difference in volume between the radio and BT. When you answer a call you have to turn up the volume and when the call ends the radio will be very loud. I usually leave it on aux with no input. Mainly just use for BT calling. Display is annoying. there are graphics jumping across the screen like a graphic display of the audio levels but it has nothing to do with what is being played. Have not found a way to turn this off. I guess some programmer thought it was cool.Update - Display went out after about 6 months. I have changed phones recently so I have no way to pair it without the display. On/Off button mostly does not work. I just leave it on and turn the volume down rather than turn it off. Volume control is also intermittent.
