Continental TR7412UB-OR - anyone have one?

I'm looking for a replacement for my (dead) Becker 1492, and saw on Becker Autosound's website that they offer Continental radios as an aftermarket alternative. A little research revealed the Conti to be a nice looking and apparently simple and intuitive "modern" upgrade. Similar yellow LCD and button colors that match the Becker's style, simple on/off volume, six buttons for pre-tuned radio stations, plus a front jack for aux in, USB, and Bluetooth capability for in-car telephone and audio streaming via your smartphone.

Continental Automotive -FM/AM Radio with Bluetooth®

For those who need a CD player, Conti also offers a front-loading CD/MP3 version.

Via a friend in Germany, I think I can get the TR7412UB-OR for less than $130, which seems like an amazing good deal. There is a guy on eBay who ships from Germany for about $160 or so, depending on the Euro/dollar exchange rate. Heck even $160 is not bad in my opinion.

Anyone have one or tried one?

One thing that I haven't been able to find is the specs for the sensitivity of the FM radio.
