Black Spider BSM1210BT is terrible !

I had bought a BSM1210BT single din radio and what a complete nightmare it was.

Black Spider advertises it as a 4 x 50 Watts (Max) output radio. However, its normal operating output is 4 x 25 watts and caused so much distortion on my Targa tweeters and on my Sony stage 2 speakers. It sounded HORRID !

It also fails to keep its memory, after setting such an *********** built in equalizer, every time i turned the bakkie off it would reset the settings and the radio channels.

Eventually the installer replaced it with another BSM1210BT which then kept its memory.

BUT, it never allowed any phone to connect to bluetooth, i had tried 2 samsungs and an Iphone with no success. Even though its advertised with Bluetooth 2.0 capabilities.

After being a pain to the installer going back 3 times for this **** radio, i then reached out to Black Spider themselves who had no clue on how to resolve the issue. Rather they advised me to go to another service provider who charged me extra to rewire the radio. STILL, the same faults occurred.

I have a 12 inch Targa Titan connected to a 11500 watt Targa 4 channel amp. x2 Targa Tweeters and 5 inch Sony stage 2 speakers. The quality of the sound system is really good and it should be rattling my bolts loose. However, connected to the Black Spider Radio it failed to impress, even when the amp was set at max on all channels.

I eventually had enough and asked the first installer to rip out the black spider radio and install a Pioneer Mixtrax.

And wow what a difference it made just swapping out and paying more for a reputable brand, now my bakkie can be heard from miles away. Nothing else was touched besides removing the Black Spider radio.

Think twice before trusting this product as it is of poor quality, go for your trusted brands and take my mistake as an example. Goed koop is deer koop.
