DESCRIPTION

Overal impression.

This unit has really stunning amplification and is very well engineered. My lab speakers are hifi level and this Mercedes unit produces phenomenal sound, which is clear, rhytmic, powerful, very well balanced, in simple words is just amazing.

Condition.

Condition of the unit is very good, it is a pre-owned so not new unit, you can expect very minimal wear on the faceplate, but overal cosmetics are very good, please review actual photos! FM reception is strong, and what I like particulary is super fast, almost instant, radio station search engine. CD playback operates perfectly. It is a very good burned CD-R disc reader too, it seems to play every beat-up writable disc I threw in.

BT Upgrade.

This Mercedes CD player is upgraded to play Bluetooth audio. Bluetooh technology used in this unit uses the industry-leading APTX protocol to transfer music with virtually no loss therefore you can expect superb hi-end sound quality matching or exceeding CD quality.

Bluetooth audio activates ONLY when 1) Radio turned on 2) user pushes AM button (Bluetooth utilised instead of AM). Bluetooth disconnects automatically when go back to CDC, CD or FM mode, this guarantees that no Bluetooth noise/or signal is carried over to CDC, CD or FM mode. This is as far as know the best implementation of Bluetooth for the Mercedes Audio 10CD units.

NEW COOL FEATURE: device connected to Mercedes head unit via bluetooth, instead of generic Bluetooth module name, portable device sees your car head unit as "MERCEDES-BENZ AUDIO 10 CD AL*063":

Mic.

Head unit has internal MIC installed and hidden just behind faceplate. Mic allows to pick up the call and have conversation.

• Automatic and manual scan FM with RDS (US-Frequency standard compatible);
• Mute;
