Sahaga POP

Thank you for the introduction!

I will now look through the forum questions and reply.

Please excuse me for my lack of Dutch writing skills :-)

Best,

Hans Christian

Goedemorgen bernardwelvaert,

Van welke specifieke deal wil je dat weten?

Dear Bernard,

Thanks for your interest in POPvintageBT

There is no USB-connection to this radio.

It is a good kitchen radio with dab+, fm and Bluetooth, which means you can get all digital (dab/dab+) and analogue radio channels (FM) + all the sound you can transfer from your smart device over Bluetooth.

The wattage of the speaker is 2x 2W RMS

I wish you a nice December month!

Best,

Hans Christian

Hello Hans Christian

I’m not a technical person. I am wondering what 2X2W Rms really means. Comparing to some other radio’s it seems rather low.

My question: is this POPvintage radio still powerful enough for use in a 4X5 meter and high ceiling bedroom? Can I place this radio on the other side of room and still have a acceptable sound? (for a table radio)

Grtz, Philippe

Dear Philippe,

Thank you for your kind message and the interest in POPvintageBT.

I totally understand your point. If you shop in markets you can experience small products sold with the tags  “1000watts” etc. 
When measuring in RMS the watts are “real”. They will always seem much lower/smaller than the others.

I am not too technical either, but I am the user of radios extravagant :-)
This radio plays like any normal kitchen radio. In a room like the one you describe it will definitively give you the normal experience of listening to the radio.

If you want to “party” it will not “fill the room” and make you wanna dance. It will rather be the kind of volume you would like when listening to music or news under normal circumstances.

I hope this reply is OK. I used to have POPvintage in my kitchen. It is a little bit “narrower” than yours, but also a little longer. It was very OK.  (Now I use another POP radio because I need to get to know all the models by personal use).

I wish you a nice Christmas,

best regards

Hans Christian

Thx Hans Christian, for your very clear answer.

Placed my order.

And a nice Christmas for you to ..

Goedemorgen Capt.Crash,

Van welke specifieke deal wil je dat weten? Dan zoeken we dat even voor je uit.

Salute, Capt Crash

The connectors on POPyourCAR 3.0 is, as you correctly say, 3,5 mm.

One for line in, another one for line out.

Apart from that there is a micro USB for power supply (cable + adapter for USB to ciggarette outlet 12-24v is included) and a SMB antenna-connector for the included active antenna with magnetic grounding.

Thanks for your interest in POPyourCAR 3.0  -  the reception is very good and the safety aspects of the 5 direct preset buttons with light (good in daylight and nighttime) is great!

Have a nice day!

I hope the reply helps. Best regards and merry Christmas,

Thank you, H Bouwma

There is also a site on http://www.popradio.no

Unfortunately we are not completely rigged with international versions up here in Norway, but it is a lot of information out there, and on http://www.sahaga.com
Keep the questions coming here in the forum as well, we will do our very best together with the excellent iBood-team to reply to all.

Best,

Hans Christian

Goedemorgen Bert,

In de handleiding heb ik gevonden dat je ook zenders kunt opslaan. Hoeveel er in totaal ingesteld kunnen worden staat er niet bij, maar sowieso zeven zenders volgens de handleiding.

Hi Bboon,

Thanks for your interest in POPdeluxe.

It is a very nice radio and the color screen is a very nice feature.

The Preset-list can store 40 stations

Merry Christmas

Hans Christian

Hi Hans!

Ga ik even voor je navragen!

Groet,

Jim

Hi Hans!

Produkt: 22 x 10 x 11,5 cm
Ingangen: headphone out en ingang voor stroom

Wattage wordt gecheckt, ik zal deze post editen als daar informatie over is :-)

Groet!

Jim

Hi, Andree

The antenna wire is 3m long. It gets its power from the antenna connector on the unit.

(Phantom feed of app 5v for the amplifier in the antenna comes from the antenna connector, in other words)

The magnet easily “clicks” (connects) to the chassis of the car when you carefully “lift” the inner roof and put the magnet inside. This ensures proper grounding and excellent reception.  It is important to mount the antenna  VERTICALLY on the windscreen and make sure to put it somewhere where it is not filters in the glass  (like vertical heating wires, vertical antennas or too much metal of other kinds/uses)

I hope the reply is OK. Thanks for your interest in POPyourCAR 3.0

Best regards and Merry Christmas,

Hans Christian

Thank you, that makes it clear to me. I’ll have to look for a way to hide the headunit when I leave the car without unplugging the cables, I suppose the antenna connector is not made to unplug and plug it all the time.

Merry Xmas too :-)

Hi again, Andree

I agree. It is a normal SMB-connector, and I think it is not too good to connect-disconnect daily.

I always remove it when parking in the city, about once a week, and it has not been a problem in 1,5 years with the connector.

But it is quite tight, to keep good contact. So I guess you are right to find a spot that combines user friendliness and cover for thiefs.

Have a nice friday!

best regards

Hans Christian

Hi Guido,

I am sorry there is not Dutch language on POPdeluxe.

It does have English language. And the menus are quite simple to understand. Short messages.

I hope this reply is satisfying.

Have a nice day!

Best regards

Hans Christian

Hello Wijnhof

Thanks for your interest in POPyourCAR 3.0. I am sorry I am not able to reply in Dutch.

The unit has both AUX line  and  FM transmitter.

It is a new, american FM transmitter, not the “off the shelf” Chinese one. The sound is really good.

Off course, with a line the sound will be a little “wider”, but the difference is not as big as it used to be.

I use the fm transmitter in my car and I am not able to hear the difference from the FM-transmissions  (except from the fact that there is no “cracking” of the sound). 
Be aware that the frequency used must be “free” from other FM transmissions. 
Also remember that IF you use the FM-transmission, you should chose the internal loudspeaker for sound when doing phone calls. Otherwise your phonecall could be “broadcasted” to the cars around you.
(Most car adapters does not have this feature, so POPyourCAR 3.0 is said to be the “tap safe” solution in Norway :-)

I hope the reply was OK.

Best regards and have a nice weekend,

Hans Christian

Thanks, Rob

:-) HC

Hij is idd als carkit te gebruiken, echter wel opletten dat je dan geen FM gebruikt omdat dan je gesprek bij anderen op de FM radio kan belanden :-)

Dit los je op door de interne speaker van de headunit te gebruiken.

@wilfried

Als de enige aux ingang achter op je radio zit dan moet dat helaas ja, vaak zit er een rode en witte tulp/cinch (vrouwtje) op.

Hi all,

Sorry for my absence. Christmas rush at work, even in Norway :-)

Yes, you can answer the phone on the unit as long as it is connected by BT.

You can speak and hang up, too.

When speaking (using the FM transmitter for the unit) you default will “broadcast” the voice of the person you talk with. But, by chosing to listen to your friend on the “internal speaker” in the unit, you prevent that.

POPyourCAR 3.0 is recommended by the organization for the people wounded in traffic accidents in Norway, because they think the features “direct preset buttons” and “handsfree phone calls” are very safe and prevents injuries.

Best,

HC

Thanks!

Solves 3 of my problems (old handsfree unit not working, DAB+ access and BT music steaming of mains power).

Ordered one. App+PayPal= no shipping fee . Nice :-)

Good afternoon, Wilfried,

Thank you for your kind email.

The FM-transmitter is good enough for most people. But, if you want to, you can use the “line out” and get the sound into your radio by “line in”.

Not all car radios have line in, but if it has it is either on the front or on the rear.

Some even have cassette-players, and a cassette with line in excists, but this is nothing we have.

I hope the answer is OK. Merry Christmas!

Best,

HC

Hello,

Thank you for your interest in POPyourCAR 3.0

You are right. There should be no difference if connected to AUX or FM. But, the sound is “wider” when connected by AUX.

But the FM-transmitter is of high quality, american developed for this unit by our engineer.

I hope the reply is ok.

Have a nice weekend and merry Christmas

best,

Hans Christian

Hi again,

No, unfortunately the antenna is a “one time” use. Off course, we do see that some manage to move it, but the film will then be “grey”, not transparent, as the glue is already used.

I hope the answer is ok.

Have a nice day!

Best,

Hans Christian

But can a replacement antenna be bought? Where and how much?

same question for the popdeluxe which looks very nice!

Hi Ritro

Thank you for both your questions.

I think you should go for POPdeluxe. It has the TFT 2,4″ coloraturas display which is less “bright”.

And when in standby you have the nice “analogue” clock with a dark background.

I use another radio with the same display in my bedroom and there is not the kind of problem that you describe  (I had that too, earlier)

Best,

Hans Christian

Hi Bastian,

Thank you for your interest.

The power comes from either USB-port in the car, or 12v (up to) 24v cigarette connector OR by direct wiring to the cars electrical system.

The last option requires an extra cable

Yes, the unit is stereo when aux and stereo when FM-transmitting, but when FM-transmitting the sound is narrower (sounds less stereo than when connected with cable). Still very good, I use FM-transmitter in my car myself. I guess especially on classical music and more advanced productions of popular music, you can hear the difference.

The antenna connector is of the type SMB.

You can see the antenna after 1 minute in this video (sorry, Norwegian)

You can see the unit here

The manual can be found here

I hope this reply is OK and I wish you a nice weekend!

best regards

Hans Christian

Dear Ronald,

Thank you for your interest in POPyourCAR 3.0

The power comes from the car  (se explanation above).

There is no bat teries in the unit.

Have a nice weekend!

Best regards

Hans Christian

I’m sorry. I meant the pop adapter. With aux connection

Goedenavond hobbix,

Nee hoor dat is helemaal niet raar, maar het display is toch zichtbaar op de afbeeldingen?

Je kunt zien waar het display zit maar niet het display zelf. Of er moeten meer wekkerradio’s zijn maar die ik bedoel heeft geen foto van het display.

Hi Yokki,

Thank you for your interest in the POPyourCAR series.

About the microphone:

The microphone is the same in both, so the distance from your voice to the unit is what makes the difference. If you feel you will be able to mount the 3.0 closer to yourself than where the mirror is, the 3.0 is the best  -  and vice versa.

The 5 direct preset buttons on 3.0 has light so it is very easy to change channels even in the dark.

Best,

Hans Christian

SAHAGA

Good morning,

POPdeluxe has both. Buzzer and the sound of the radio.

It is a very nice radio.

Have a nice day!

Best regards,

Hans Christian

Hi

Yes, when connected to the wall, it will display the clock all the time.

It is an analogue clock (off course digital, but looks like the old fashioned analogue clock with pointers).

You can adjust it to not be on also.

Best regards

Hans Christian

Dat geeft geen probleem. Bij 2 losse bestellingen betaal je wel 2x verzendkosten, terwijl je maar eenmaal verzendkosten betaald als de producten tegelijk besteld worden.

Tenzij je met Paypal betaald hebt; dan zorgt de tijdelijke actie van Paypal voor gratis verzending (bij minimum bestelwaarde van €20).

Als je met een andere betaalmethode hebt afgerekend en je wilt op verzendkosten besparen, kun je een nieuwe bestelling plaatsen voor de beide producten tesamen (als ze nog beschikbaar zijn). Daarna kun je de eerdere bestellingen annuleren.

Vraagtekens hadden emoji duimpjes moeten worden :)
