Blaupunkt Houston DM189

Pros: Good sound quality, easy controls
Cons: a little hard to read display in direct sunlight

This was my first after market car stereo and I just installed it the other day. Installation took a little bit, but it wasn't too bad for my first time. I have a 1993 Nissan Sentra so I had to buy adapters and brackets. Warning to other Nissan owners:...

Pros: Basic Controls are Easy to Figure out, Looks Great, it has two RCA jacks
Cons: Advanced Controls are Hard to Figure out

When I went looking for a CD player to build my stereo system on I was looking for two things, first of all I wanted a quality CD player from a quality manufacturer, and secondly I wanted a CD player that was pretty rare in my area. I found both in the...

Pros: Excellent tuner (AM and FM)
Cons: Hard to see display in sunlight

I am impressed. Just had my new Houston installed in my Nissan Frontier pickup. Everything is working beautifully! I like the interface, the CD player, the look, the sound, but most of all, I LOVE the tuner!

My radio listening is 90% AM and...

Pros: Sweet Looks. NICE Sound. 2 Pre-Outs. Lots of Features
Cons: Little hard to see in sun. Other than that, FLAWLESS.

I bought this head unit for my girlfriend and man was I jealous. If it was not for the fact I had already invested in Pioneer (head, changer, voice activated) I would have traded.

Display/looks:
This unit has a very nice layout and the...

Pros: Loud
Cons: Somewhat low quality

I don't know where epinions got their price for this product, becuase I way underpaid it. My Blaupunkt Houstun that I recived from auctions.yahoo.com costed me $150, brandnew with warrenty. So for $330 thats a bit of a increase. The Houstun has 2 pre...

Pros: Sounded great when I first bought it
Cons: Approx 1 after I bought it, it started falling apart... Not GOOD

I bought this car stereo because of the Blaupunkt name, I thought it was a good company, so I figured I'd give them a try.

When I first got the stereo installed, it rocked. The radio sounded was great and the CD player sounded even better....

Pros: Great sounding with a total clarity
Cons: Cost a little.

Blaupunkt What a sound this is indeed on of the best systems I have ever used. This system was part of the features that was included in a AUDI 80 that I purchased sometime back. This Radio gave the sound of a theater stereo system. I have had a lot of...

Pros: Powerful, 2 pairs of Pre-amp outs Nice display
Cons: fold down faceplate, occasional cd reading problem, crackling with rca outputs.

I got this cd player to replace an alpine unit because i wanted pre-amp outputs. It has good strong sound, with plenty of bass, even too much. The sound menu is easily accessible with the push of one button. I find the fold down face inconvenient, and...

Pros: GREAT reception on AM and FM, very clear CD player, awesome bass.
Cons: I don't think it will play MP3 discs burned on a home PC.

Bought this some time ago; had it in a 2000 Chevy S-10 pickup and was mildly impressed. Took it out when I sold the truck and put it in my daily urban assault vehicle--a 1984 Olds 98 coupe. Wow, what a difference!

The difference this time is that I have the room to install a set of Blau 6.5" speakers in the door, and a set of 6x9's in the back. THESE speakers can handle most of the power this unit puts out!

If you love to load up your car with wires and chrome amps, you don't need this Blaupunkt. But, if you want to run as much bass as your speakers can handle, and don't want to have it wired up like the space shuttle, then this is your unit.

The bass can be adjusted two ways. There is an extended bass button that really pumps up the power. Then there is the usual bass and treble settings like those you find on most units.
