An affordable multimedia hub for your car
Blaupunkt's San Jose 120 shines as an affordable touchscreen receiver that doesn't skimp on features. The receiver's 6.2" display lets you quickly access your music and movies on DVD, CD, microSD cards, and USB drives. Built-in Bluetooth® provides hands-free calling and wireless audio streaming convenience. Its dual video outputs and dual camera inputs also let you expand the video options in your ride.
Wireless streaming and hands-free calling
The San Jose 120 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 rear video screens and play movies on the go to keep the backseat posse happy. Two camera inputs let you install front- and rear-view cameras for easy viewing right from the receiver's screen. Blaupunkt even included a wireless remote to control the show.
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, microSD card slot, and auxiliary input offer plenty of other ways to check out all your media. The San Jose 120 includes six EQ presets for refining your sound. 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.

Touchscreen & Remote Control
6.2" LCD Touchscreen Monitor: The Blaupunkt San Jose 120 features a fixed 6.2" (16:9) LCD touchscreen monitor. San Jose 120 offers large easy-to-indentify on-screen source & menu icons with touchscreen control. The LCD touchscreen monitor also provides song/artist information display and video playback.
- Wallpaper: You can select between five built-in Wallpapers for the on-screen menu background.
- Picture Adjustment: You can manually adjust the monitor's Brightness, Contrast, Color, Hue, and Sharpness.
- Date & Time: You can program the unit to display the date (m/d/y) and time (12 or 24 hour).
Note: For safety reasons, you cannot view a video source on the built-in LCD touchscreen monitor as long as the vehicle is in motion. In order to display video, the head unit's brown wire must be hardwired into the vehicle's parking brake light circuit, and the vehicle's parking brake must be engaged.
Hard-Key Controls w/ Variable Color Illumination: In addition to the touchscreen controls, the unit includes frequently used buttons and a rotary-dial along the left edge of the screen. You can adjust the button illumination between six preset colors - Red, White, Orange, Green, Blue, or Purple. You can also select the Auto setting to scan through all color presets.
IR Remote: The Blaupunkt San Jose 120 comes with an IR remote control for wireless operation of the DVD receiver.
Built-in SWC: This receiver offers built-in steering wheel remote compatibility with select non-CAN Bus vehicles. We don't recommend using this receiver's built-in steering wheel interface, because results have been inconsistent and we cannot confirm this radio's compatibility with your vehicle.Built-in Bluetooth

Hands-Free Communication (w/ Integrated Mic): The San Jose 120 supports Bluetooth hands-free communication from your Bluetooth enabled smartphone. You can answer or make a call from the head unit's touchscreen and carry on a phone conversation hands-free. The unit's integrated microphone carries on your side of the conversation while your car's speakers are used to hear the other person.
- Answering A Call: During an incoming call, the caller's phone number will be seen on the unit's LCD and a ring-tone will be heard through your car stereo speakers. You can then manually answer the incoming call from the head unit's front-panel controls. You can also set the unit to automatically answer an incoming call within 5 seconds.
- Making A Call: You can make a call using the DVD receiver's touchscreen controls. Outgoing calls can be made by entering telephone numbers directly via the receiver's touchscreen keypad. You can also search for contact names in your phone's downloaded phonebook from the San Jose 120 and then make your call. In addition, you can make a call by searching your phone's call history (Received/Dialed/Missed).

You can control basic music playback functions (Play/Pause & Previous/Next Track) from the San Jose 120. Advanced music navigation will still need to be done through your Bluetooth mobile device. This unit does not display song/artist information from connected Bluetooth audio devices. When an incoming call or outgoing call is in progress from your Bluetooth enabled mobile phone, audio streaming will be paused so you can take your call. Once the call is finished, your streaming music will resume.

The video outputs will display whatever image is being being displayed on the head unit's touchscreen monitor. This includes the warning "Due to Safety regulation the video will not display while the vehicle is being operated" when trying to watch video from a DVD, USB , microSD, or AV input without the vehicle's parking brake engaged. You will need to engage the vehicle's parking brake to see video from these sources through the head units' video output.
Front & Rear Camera Inputs: The San Jose 120 features dual camera inputs for connecting front & rear view cameras (sold separately) to aid you in seeing what's in front and/or behind your vehicle. When an optional backup camera is connected to this unit, the rear view image is displayed on the screen whenever your vehicle is placed in reverse gear (pink wire of harness must be connected to reverse light wire of vehicle). Automatic video switching takes approximately 1.5 seconds. When an optional front view camera is connected, the front view image is displayed on screen whenever you touch the Front View icon on the source screen. (A pink/black wire is provided to power the front view camera with 12 volts when the icon is touched.)
Note: The camera inputs are meant as a visual aid only; never solely rely on a front & backup camera. In addition to using the camera, always physically look to make sure everything is clear around your vehicle.
