Axxera XDMA7800 CD Receiver

Hooray! I can actually read the display on this one because it was made years before I bought it (made in 2011? and bought in 2017). These older units seem to have full lettering and numbers on the displays, not like most current single DIN units with chicken scratch fonts. However, It took 2 tries and some crossing of my fingers as I went through 2 units both of which simply would not turn off when I turned off the car. Instead I could hear what sounded like the CD eject mechanism still running non-stop after the car was turned off which would lead to a dead battery. But one of them eventually turned off and I stuck with it and sent the other one back. I just did a 2400 mile trip with this unit in my old 1998 Chevy Astro and it worked flawlessly. On my trip down 95 from Philly to Florida, I used the Bluetooth for music and phone, the radio, and the SD card. Haven't tried the CD, USB, or the AUX yet, and may never use them, but hopefully they work as well. I just wish there was a way to turn the SUBWOOFER level to -1, -2, etc. but it's either off, or +1, +2, etc. I had to turn down my separate Alpine sub amp to get the balance correct. For the money this is a steal if you really like the SD option, which is what attracted me to this unit. Newer units don't even offer SD slots much anymore.

Recently bought to replace original one that the main set died. Thought it might have been a display piece but alas it wasn't. I really like that it has an SD slot as I find the USB ones are sensitive. The display doesn't always work correctly. But overall it is a great receiver with CD that plays MP3's, Aux, two USB, SD card, and Bluetooth. I had to replace the microphone it came with it and while it generally does handle calls well, about 10-20% of my calls I have to turn off Bluetooth and call back due to some issues that I don't believe has to do with my phone but I'm not certain. Only 4 stars because I had to buy it again to replace the 4 year old one that died.

I have been very happy with this radio. Lots of bang for the buck. I use the Bluetooth for the phone and a memory card or USB memory stick for music while driving. It all works like it should.The Bluetooth microphone is on a long wire which at first I didn't like much, but it works very well by clipping it on the sun visor which places it close to where I am while driving and people tell me they hear loud and clear.Highly recommend this product for the price to value. Has a lot of features and sounds great in my SLK 230.

I like the fact that it has Bluetooth with microphone, take CD, Aux, Radio, SD, so your not short on options, the best feature is the EQ, 3 band EQ with Q and Bass adjustment + low pass filter.The other neat feature is fully customizable backlight color, you can adjust it for day/night and match it to your das color.the other point to mention is the USB can charge you phone, and ever read music from it.

After installation I found a flaw: Sometimes when a button is pressed on the unit, the screen will go blank (a color is still visible) but LCD characters don't appear unless you lower the faceplate and reattach it; or if you turn the power off and on again. Otherwise, this feature-packed unit is fabulous! I'm a bit disappointed that the subwoofer output shuts completely off at "0" gain. My previous Alpine had + and - 10dB adjustments for subwoofer gain. This one is OFF at 0dB but turns on at 1dB with a gain to +10. So, no negative gain adjustments.

Connectivity is awesome, though I have had a few times with BlueTooth audio doesn't connect.Overall, though, the look and the build quality are consistent with a unit I paid less than $150. Though I like it, and I use it every day and am not considering swapping it out, any time soon.My other car has a 10 year old Blaupunkt that feels rock solid still. The volume knob on the blau is still crisp, and feels first class, better than this Axxera unit.

Sounds good like the color choices even though is not important but the sound is what I was looking for.

This radio has good features for the price, however, it does have some issues. FM reception is very poor, I have experienced this with another Dual brand radio. The volume output is not very loud at full volume compared to the stock radio.
