This is the single most disappointing purchase I can remember making. I paid about 200$ for installation, so I’m out double the purchase price. I got it to play the ipod, not for the bluetooth phone thing; I thought I was getting something that would plug directly into the car stereo, and thus sound good, or at least ok. Instead, while it does seem to be hardwired, it actually uses a stereo chanel. Which it cleverly finds automatically (you then tune the radio to what it says) but unfortunately the sound quality is terrible. At best you have to turn the volume way up and get lousy tone; at worst you get all kinds of static as you drive down the road. The tech support person said basically you need to be living in the middle of nowhere, where there aren’t so many fm stations.

The title speaks for itself. I wanted to like it…I really did. It was frustrating enough when this thing didn’t work. But once I got it to work it downright maddening how poor this unit was. It had bad sound, terrible tactile response and random bluetooth connections. Please save time and just avoid this.

This item works so so

and work just fair, Alpine should work to make it better, this product have potential

for example

always, each time a song starts playing, it play for 2 seconds the it pause for 1 second, while the eX-10 retrieve the display image from the albun, and then it continues playing

also the bluetooth connection, really sucks

I have Nokia N73, and it doesnt work

only the firt time, it play the conversation using the radio speaker, and then it never work again

each time i made or receive a conversation, I have to use the phone to talk

This is the worst electronic gadget I have ever used, let alone bought. The only function that consistently works is the power comes on. Half the time, it cannot find my iPod. When it does I hear the hard-drive on my iPod spin up and data (like the old dial-up modems) over the speakers during the first few seconds of the song. There is no volume control for the “aux out” so if you have a sensitive “aux in” jack, any albums that were recorded at a higher than normal volume level are very distorted. If that’s not enough distortion for you, try Alpine’s built-in equalizer.

The unit has a mind of it’s own when it comes to shuffling songs or albums. If you set it the way you want it and power the unit down, it may or may not retain your settings. The artwork that shows on-screen is some Picasso-like version of the artwork actually on my iPod. The recommended placement of the display is on the dashboard but the instructions warn you not to place it in direct sunlight… huh? The instructions say that the remote may not be able to communicate if it is in bright light so I guess we can only use this device on cloudy days or at night. The remote feels very fragile and it is very small and cheap feeling. There is no storage holster so it will end up floating around in your car and probably get lost, broken or scratched. The remote operates via infrared vs. RF. This means you have to point the remote at the display (within 1 meter) for it to operate. Any higher quality remote controls are RF. My Tom-Tom remote makes the EX-10’s look sick!

Phone pairing is easy enough but if you leave the unit on and leave the vehicle and then return, it won’t re-connect. You have to re-start the EX-10 to reconnect with your phone. On the up-side, the bluetooth interface did upload my contacts and call history very well. Too bad 1/2 of the display is taken up with useless logos so I have to wait for the full contact name to scroll across the screen (in VERY slow motion) to make sure I have the right person. If you have more than one number for a contact, the contact’s name will be listed several times but you will have no way of knowing which number you will be dialing.

If that isn’t enough bad news for you, go ahead and buy the EX-10. I haven’t listed all it’s faults here because I’m tired of writing. If you buy one, you’ll want to tell everyone to steer clear of this thing too!!

I truly cannot understand what all the commotion is about. This is a excellent product at $35.00. You are not going to find another for this price. I’ve bought multiple units and none have failed. I just installed in a BMW 740il. Took an hour and a half but after you could only see one cable. I hid the microphone where the original one was and WOW what clarity and it’s hidden. No one I have installed this for has complained about bluetooth connectivity or ipod functionality. Of course there is going to be half a second lag now and then. This is not made by apple people. For 34.99 you cannot possible go wrong.
