VDO Continental European 12V Radio with Orange Display and Bluetooth - TR7412UB-OR

Giovanni Di Stadio: The VDO Continental TR7412UB-OR European Style 12v Radio is the perfect blend of vintage styling and modern functionality. As a proud owner of a '91 Jaguar, maintaining the car's classic aesthetic is crucial to me. This radio, with its amber-colored display, fits seamlessly into my vehicle's interior, maintaining that period-correct style.

Unlike many aftermarket radios that can look out of place, this one looks and feels OEM, ensuring the original charm of my Jaguar remains intact. But it's not just about looks - the radio is also a breeze to operate and delivers excellent sound quality, making every ride more enjoyable.

If you're looking for a radio that respects your car's vintage aesthetic while offering modern features like Bluetooth, the VDO Continental TR7412UB-OR is a fantastic choice. I highly recommend it!

KellyKelly: Plugged right into the factory harness, didn't even need a pigtail for my application. Looks oem, Bluetooth is seemless. Reasonable. What more is there to ask for?

Eduardo V.: Terrble, se apaga solo y cada vez mas seguido, lo voy a desinstalar, se ve bien en un auto de los 80, pero falla terriblemente.

NN: Installed in my 03 Z4 and looks great. Light color isn't an exact match, but pretty close to that era of Euro vehicles. Used the recommended wiring harness for my car & had to move a couple pins to get the illumination correct. Works great with phone, don't need the external mic that's included. When using Bluetooth (A2DP), the song info doesn't show but can control the phone app with the stereo buttons.
This is a great alternative for those of us who want modern tech without the blaring disco lights or distracting touchscreens of other head units.
If you are replacing an older BMW head unit, you will need to replace the amplifier as well.

Itha barrera: El estéreo es increíble. Lo puse en un Civic 98 porque el de fábrica dejó de funcionar y no parece haber diferencia con el original. Tuve que comprar un contra arnés que solo vendían en amazon de estados unidos. Y un marco para que no quedara espacio hueco, pues la forma en la que va el estéreo original no es rectangular. Ya instalado pareciera el original.

Al iniciarlo los bajos se escuchaban muy fuertes. Con demasiada distorsion, pero al ajustar el equalizador (el cual es muy sencillo pero suficiente para mí, después de usar uno más sencillo como lo era el de fábrica) me dí cuenta de que estaba en bass +4. Al realizar algunos ajustes, y ajustar el eq del teléfono android suena perfecto. Incluso mucho mejor que con el estéreo original. Y con un volumen muchísimo más alto.

Los únicos detalles fueron tres cosas (de las cuales 2 no estoy muy seguro de que sean fallas del estéreo):

1. El estéreo, al girar la llave, no enciende automáticamemte en ninguna de las 3 posiciones que tiene mi carro. Probé conectando el cable amarillo y rojo en diferentes posiciones y ninguna funcionó. Tengo que encenderlo desde el botón cada vez que me subo al...

JohnJohnJohn: I installed this in my '89 Nissan Hardbody along with 4 JVC speakers. The sound is great. The Continental head unit looks clean and simple and has most of the modern conveniences. The manual could be better for explaining settings. I've read most of the reviews for this unit and have some further thoughts.

1) There are customizable settings for bass, treble, fade, and balance and for a loud "on/off" option. The manual doesn't explain it at all. But, if you push the select button to access the preset equalizers as the manual instructs, and then press the << or >> buttons to scroll to individual equalizer settings. I found this by accident. Pleasantly surprised.

2) When connecting the wires, check for 12V from battery and 12V from ignition. If you are using an adapter connector, they will likely be swapped. Also, if you happen to be installing this in a 80-90's era Nissan anything, there is no ground in the connector (the black wire does not connect to a harness ground; you will have to make a chassis ground).

3) The unit will shut off if you push the volume too loud and the engine is not running. It's likely a self-protect feature based on available...

Cliente de AmazonCliente de Amazon: Es precisamente el producto justo como lo necesitaba para actualizar la radio de mi viejo Chevrolet Astra: apariencia discreta similar a la original, capacidad para enlazar mi teléfono para escuchar música y tomar o hacer llamadas. El funcionamiento es sencillo y fácil de operar. En mi caso sólo requerí añadir un arnés “hembra” tipo ISO para completar la instalación.

Amer A.Amer A.: I spliced all the cables from the new unit to the cars iso cable. But to save yourself the hassle, you can get a adapters that plugs directly into the cars main socket which is tucked away inside the dash and simply plug and connect. Bluetooth is extremely easy to setup so not sure what people are complaint about. You tap the radio name on your phone and it connects. Then select the Bluetooth option on the unit itself and boom done. My only complaint is that getting to the equaliser for adjusting can’t be done so easily when driving as you need to do hit multiple buttons to get to it but it’s honestly not that bad. You can adjust left to right front to rear, bass and all the usual stuff. Also has a load mode which has More lower bass. It fits real nice and looks aftermarket OEM kind of look. The radio is in but it’s not snug because the tensioner has nothing to grab on to because it is hollow inside the dash where the unit sit so I’ll have to jam something between the case bracket and unit itself. Really good products, feels real cheap compared to the factory but it’s nice because it isn’t deep and has more room for wires
