Nakamichi NQ723BD Single DIN Car Receiver with Bluetooth 5.0 and USB

Experience upgraded connectivity and proven audio quality in a compact single DIN format.

Product Overview

The Nakamichi NQ723BD is a single DIN car receiver designed for drivers seeking modern connectivity without sacrificing dash space. This unit combines Bluetooth 5.0 wireless technology with USB playback supporting multiple formats including FLAC, APE, and WAV for high-quality audio reproduction. With 50W output across four channels and 4V pre-amp outputs, the NQ723BD drives both factory speakers and aftermarket amplifier systems with headroom to spare. The compact 182×53×115mm chassis fits standard single DIN apertures across Australian and imported vehicles, while the 0.5kg weight ensures minimal dash stress during installation. Front USB connectivity delivers 2A charging output for faster device charging compared to older 1A standards, making this receiver suitable for navigation-heavy touring or daily commuting with demanding smartphone use.

Features & Benefits

Bluetooth 5.0 Connectivity
Enhanced wireless range and stability over older Bluetooth versions. Stream music, take hands-free calls, and pair devices faster with improved connection reliability during highway travel or in electrically noisy environments.

Expanded Audio Format Support
Play lossless FLAC and APE files alongside standard MP3 and WMA formats directly from USB. The NQ723BD also handles AAC, M4A, and WAV files, giving you flexibility for iTunes libraries and high-resolution audio collections without format conversion.

4V Pre-Amp Outputs
Higher voltage pre-outs reduce noise and improve signal integrity when feeding aftermarket amplifiers. The 4V output provides cleaner signal transfer compared to standard 2V units, particularly beneficial in touring setups with long cable runs or multiple amplifier stages.

2A USB Charging
Double the charging current of older 1A units means your phone stays topped up even during heavy navigation and streaming use. Essential for extended off-road trips or daily commutes where device battery life matters.

Compact Single DIN Design
Fits older vehicles, commercial utes, and 4WDs with limited dash space. The 115mm depth accommodates most installations without interfering with HVAC ducting or steering column clearances common in Australian market vehicles.

30-Station Memory
Store 18 FM and 12 AM presets for quick access to your favourite stations. Useful for regional touring where station frequencies change across state lines or when switching between metro and rural broadcasts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this fit my vehicle?
The NQ723BD requires a standard single DIN (182×53mm) dash opening. Measure your existing space or check vehicle-specific fascia compatibility before ordering. Most pre-2010 vehicles use single DIN as standard.

Can I connect an amplifier?
Yes, the 4V pre-amp outputs are designed for aftermarket amplifier integration. You'll need RCA cables and an amplifier turn-on lead (typically blue/white wire) for proper installation.

What's the advantage of Bluetooth 5.0?
Bluetooth 5.0 offers improved range, faster pairing, and better connection stability compared to older Bluetooth versions. This means fewer dropouts in electrically noisy vehicles and more reliable hands-free calling.

Does USB support fast charging?
The 2A output provides faster charging than older 1A units but isn't equivalent to dedicated fast-charging standards like Qualcomm Quick Charge. It will charge most smartphones adequately during typical driving periods.

What wiring harness do I need?
Most installations require a vehicle-specific ISO harness adapter matching your factory connector to the Nakamichi's standard ISO plug. Check your vehicle's year and model for correct harness selection.
