Good mechless upgrade over factory.
I bought this after the bluetooth in a previous head unit died. The most important feature to me in a car is handsfree usage of my phone, and not having handsfree was a deal-breaker for me. So first, the good: If you've already upgraded your head unit in your older vehicle, chances are this is going to be an easy swap for you. The worst part is you'll likely need to change the microphone out, but that shouldn't be a huge deal if it's not your first rodeo. Sound quality is terrific for a sub-$100 head unit. While it doesn't have time correction or a multi-band parametric EQ, it does have the basic settings you'll need to adjust (bass, mids, treble) and a high-pass filter if you either like your music loud and don't want clipping or you've invested in a subwoofer. This head unit has 3 sets of pre-outs - front, rear, and subwoofer - which will allow you to control where the audio goes should you choose to use an external amp instead of the built-in speaker outputs. Bluetooth allows for two separate phones (or other devices) to easily be connected. USB allows for both higher-quality audio output from your phone (or other device) and easy Bluetooth pairing (there's a menu setting that uses USB to pair your iPhone or Android phone easily). Bluetooth HD Voice is also supported, so everyone using VoLTE, FaceTime, or other telephony and video chat apps that can use HD Voice will work as advertised in terms of sound quality. No CD player so there's no CD player to break. iPhone audio controls are supported OoB so you don't have to run an update to support play, pause, skip, fast-forward, random, and repeat on your iPhone running a newer version of iOS. Adjustable faceplate lighting so you can match or contrast your dash lights. Now the bad: The default blue clock setting is difficult to read. It can only store pairings with 2 devices at a time. Buttons are small. No advanced audio controls beyond bass, mid, treble, and high-pass. Hands-free button isn't obvious on what it is. Mic gain settings are a button instead of a menu item. Unit gets very hot during usage and could benefit from a cooling fan. Looks like a CD player even though it isn't. All in all, it's Alpine quality as always.
