Car Radio Nakamichi NQ537BD

The Nakamichi NQ537BD is a non-mechanical 1DIN car radio that combines high performance, modern features, and advanced sound settings. Despite its classic 1DIN design with a two-line VA-LCD display, it offers specifications typically found in more expensive and larger models. The radio supports Bluetooth 5.0 for safe calls and wireless music playback, and it can be controlled via an app for Android and iOS devices. A major advantage of this model is the integrated DSP processor with extensive sound setting options. It features a 30-band equalizer, Time Alignment, advanced crossover settings, support for 2- and 3-way active connections, 3D Surround function, and more. There are 7-channel RCA outputs with 4V voltage, including subwoofer control and Q value tuning. The radio supports music playback from USB and microSD cards and allows device charging via USB output with a charging current of 2 A. The basic equipment includes both an integrated microphone and the option to connect an external one. Remote control, an RDS tuner with presets, and compatibility with steering wheel controls via PAC™-SWI are standard features.

About Nakamichi

The history of the Nakamichi brand dates back to 1948, founded in Japan by Etsuro Nakamichi. The journey to fulfilling his dreams began with the establishment of the small research institute Nakamichi Research Corporation in Tokyo, which conducted research on sonars and magnets and developed for major brands, government entities, universities, and organizations. Since then, it has established itself as a trusted creator of high-quality products resulting from intensive scientific work, a passion for sound, and a commitment to providing uncompromising quality and performance. In 1972, Takeshi Nakamichi joined Nakamichi Corporation, deeply involved in the company’s expansion and legendary audio products sold in Asia, America, and Europe, including the launch of the Nakamichi 1000, the world's first cassette deck. He was considered one of the world's best acoustic and sound engineers, who combined top-notch sound with the genius design advantages of Koza Kobayashi, the brand’s chief engineer at the time. Past amplifiers, players, and car radios are now considered legends, but Nakamichi remains successful today, producing products for both home and vehicle sound systems. The thoughtfully developed product portfolio continues to grow, offering an appealing price-to-quality ratio. The higher model ranges strive to continue Etsuro Nakamichi’s legacy, whose name still resonates in the brand's products today.

Car radio sizeCar radios are divided into 2 basic sizes, 1DIN car radios and 2DIN car radios . 1DIN size car radios - the exact dimensions including the metal frame where the car radio is inserted are 184 x 53 mm, the external dimensions of the branded 1DIN car radio are 188 x 59 mm. We know 2DIN car radios from newer vehicles, a classic example is the VW Golf IV with navigation. The dimensions of a 2DIN car radio without a metal frame are 180 x 101 mm, the external dimensions of a branded 2DIN car radio are 189 x 119 mm.	1DIN
Car radio performanceThe performance of the car radio shown in maximum values. This is therefore the MAX value. The performance of the internal amplifier of the car radio. Today, the RMS power of a car radio ranges from 17 - 30 W RMS per channel.	4 x 50 W
Supported formats via USB inputList of all supported formats (MP3, AAC, Flac, DivX, etc.) that the car radio can play via USB input.	MP3,WMA,AAC,FLAC,APE
USB inputThe USB input of the car radio is used to connect a USB flash drive or smartphone. Today, playing music via USB is the most popular way to listen to music in the car. The USB input can be front (on the front panel of the car radio) or rear (on the back of the cable).	Yes
CD driveCar radios with CD drive. Car radios that have an input slot for inserting a CD.	No
SD card accessModern branded car radios can play SDHC SD cards up to 32 GB, sometimes even 64 GB. The SD card slot is behind the front panel in most car radios.	No
DVD driveDVD ("Digital Versatile Disc" or "Digital Video Disc") is a digital optical data carrier format that can contain movies or various other data. Car radios with a DVD drive can also play classic CD discs, and the car radio always has a slot for only one disc, the CD drive and the DVD drive are always in one.	No
Integrated BluetoothBluetooth is a communication technology used for wireless connection between two or more electronic devices. A mobile phone, for example, can be connected to a car radio with built-in Bluetooth. Most car radios for 2017 and later can also wirelessly stream (play) music via Bluetooth -> A2DP function.	Yes
Audio Streaming via BluetoothA2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) is a Bluetooth profile that enables the wireless transmission of stereo audio from an A2DP source, typically a mobile phone or computer, to an A2DP receiver (car radio). These devices usually also support the AVRCP profile.	Yes
External microphone included in the packageThe external microphone is connected from the back of the car radio to the input marked "MIC". For ideal sound quality during a phone call, we recommend placing the external microphone on the left "A" pillar at the point where the "A" pillar and the roof panel connect to each other. A very good position to place an external microphone is also near the central rear-view mirror.	No
Number of RCA outputsRCA outputs , colloquially called "cinches", are used to connect an external amplifier or active subwoofer. Aftermarket car radios are usually equipped with 1 to 3 pairs of RCA outputs. FRONT, REAR and SUB are used. It also depends on how many volt outputs the car radio is equipped with. More basic models of car radios have 2V outputs, more expensive units have 4V and more. The higher the specified value, the less power demands are placed on the external amplifier and the sound quality increases.	7 channels
Output level on RCAAn important parameter if you are going to install an external amplifier. If you purchase a car radio with a basic value, i.e. 2V outputs, then greater demands will be placed on the power of the amplifier. As the value increases, e.g. 4V or 5V, the power of the external amplifier increases significantly, in layman's terms. A car radio with strong outputs therefore has the advantage that you do not pull so much power through the amplifier and thus achieve a better sound, as external amplifiers lose control at higher loads.	4 V
Works with Android OSAfter connecting a smartphone with the ANDROID operating system, the car radio can control music in the Android OS music player (Google Play, Spotify, etc.), so there is no need to pick up a mobile phone. You control the basic, common functions of the music application with the car radio itself.	Yes

Direct subwoofer controlSubwoofer settings, where you can add or subtract the dB level, i.e. subtract or add bass according to the recording. Higher class car radios can also rotate the phase and other functions for perfect bass. Some car radios allow you to turn off the subwoofer completely, with a button in the car radio menu. This is a very useful feature if you have a subwoofer in your car.	Yes
Removable front panelPossibility to remove the entire front panel of the car radio by pressing the side button. A very effective weapon against car radio theft. We recommend not hiding the panel in the vehicle, but taking it with you. Alternatively, place the panel in a hidden place in the trunk, but not when leaving the car, but before parking. You never know when a thief might be watching you.	No
