About the Blaupunkt Memphis 440BT

Dave Delamere

Affordable media hub for your car

It's not often you see a touchscreen receiver like Blaupunkt's Memphis 440BT at a price point like this. But don't worry, this Blaupunkt doesn't skimp on features. The receiver's 6.2" display lets you quickly access your music and movies on DVD, CD, SD cards, and USB drives. Built-in Bluetooth® provides hands-free calling and wireless audio streaming convenience. (Note: this radio's face is wider than typical double-DIN car stereos, so it won't work with most dash kits. Please identify your vehicle to find out if it'll fit in your dash.)

(Note: this radio's face is wider than typical double-DIN car stereos, so it won't work with most dash kits. Please identify your vehicle to find out if it'll fit in your dash.)     

Wireless streaming and hands-free calling

The Memphis 440BT lets you stream music from any Bluetooth-equipped device that's paired to the receiver, including music stored on the phone and from Internet radio stations like Pandora® and Spotify®. For hands-free calling clarity from your paired phone, Blaupunkt also built in a sensitive Bluetooth microphone into the receiver's faceplate for a simpler installation.

Awesome video options

You can view movies and video on the 6.2" screen when your car is parked, and it also works as a great display for system and song info. If you want to share the fun, you can install a rear video screen and play movies on the go to keep the backseat posse happy. They can even control DVD playback using the included wireless remote control. Two camera inputs let you install front- and rear-view cameras for easy viewing right from the receiver's screen.

Audio goodies

For your music fix, you can slide in just about any disc, even a recordable DVD or CD loaded with MP3 or WMA files. The USB port, SD card slot, and auxiliary input offer plenty of other ways to check out all your media. The Memphis 440BT includes an 8-band equalizer with seven EQ presets for refining your sound. You can also engage one of six "surround" modes to make your music come alive in a different venue, such as a concert hall or church. If you want some added impact to your tunes, a full set of preamp outputs makes it easier to connect amplifiers for your speakers and a subwoofer.

Bluetooth note: Use of this receiver's Bluetooth features will depend upon your phone's Bluetooth capabilities. Learn more in our article explaining Bluetooth profiles.

    Hi. The bluetooth microphone is not working. People claim that are not hearing me. Is there any suggestion or configuration ?

    The mic is rather poor & weak. Ours does work, but not well. The radio as a whole is very poor IMHO. it was cheap and I didn't have the time to return it. It can't even maintain the time (loses 15 in a month) and pics up stations poorly. But it's cheap i guess.
    leslie  May 26, 2017

    check you mic settings maybe. it is a crappy built in mic also. you may be able to add a mic in the rear not sure, check the book.

    To clarify just a touch, the artist and song info is displayed when playing audio files stored on a USB stick or on a mini SD card.

    No and no for radio, and USB. Only CD shows artist and song name. Radio sounds good after adjusting Equilizer to your liking. DVD working good. Crutch field did awesome job on correct bezel and wiring harness to. I also purchased the easy connectors and trim tools. They all worked as described.

    aaron  Feb 28, 2017

    No it doesn't have an external microphone, instead it has a microphone built in as part of the unit. So you don't have to tear the dash apart to run any microphone wires.
