Bought a Blaupunkt "Toronto" on Thursday for my last Amazon Prime item before my free membership expired. Saw a bunch of people over at Benzworld who had them and were pleased. The Blau was $169.99 shipped. Here are my observations:
Amazing. The Blaupunkt is literally plug and play. The connector matches up perfectly with the stock harness, so you need nothing in the way of wiring to be done or modified, from what I can see. I pulled the Toronto out of the box, installed the faceplate and plugged it in. WIthin seconds I was able to set it up and have FM. 10 minutes later I had it paired with my iPhone 4 and my phone book downloaded to the unit. The EQ is a little thin, which was about the only criticism I saw online, but I was able to tinker with it for a minute or two and get it to nearly perfectly match the Becker that I removed, so I'm happy. This was the determining factor in whether or not I would keep the Toronto. I'm keeping the Toronto. The only complaint I have is the blue lighting. I wish the color on the knobs could be changed to amber to better match the aesthetics of the interior, but other than that I am very happy with it. So it's back out to the garage to run the USB cable to the center console and find a place to mount the accessory BT microphone. I would add that I haven't tried the BT phone functions as far as calling, but that wasn't a big feature for me, so I'll play with it later when I can set something up with another caller. I bought it for the tunes and integration with my iPod.
