Retro Blaupunkt car stereo

[vw1500]

Anyone seen these yet, DAB, Bluetooth, USB etc Blaupunkt Bremen. Seem to be around £3/400 though

 

[Coog]

Would love one for the mk2 but a bit pricey for me!

Very excited to seen them released. Will be the finishing touch to my 911 964 resto for sure.

Don’t think I could justify £400 on that.

One of the VDO Continental units @gav525 is half the price and would be retro enough. Unless you’re a complete beard!

Yeah I did look at them but the 996 is too “new“ to pull the retro look which is why I went with the Continental one.
They’re class though, i would have one no problem in an 80s/early 90s car

The only downside I can see is if you have a usb stick plugged in, it sticks out the 'tape' door

Your bean counter is hurting my romantic nostalgia

Looks pretty cool.

IMO, one of the biggest annoyances about modern units is a lack of normal buttons. I recently changed mine to a Blaupunkt Skagen, but it's just annoying to use.
But it was one of the more plain units I could find to slightly better suit something older.

That Bremen looks great, although a slightly larger display might be nice.

I always hated front mount USB ports.

Really want one for the E34 to have the interior finished bar some small things.

I like the fact it has buttons and doesnt have a big screen as it does exactly what it needs to, look old with the modern functions.

that's class. had one many moons ago in a car. can't remember which one but the blaupunkt was worth as much as the motor

I'd have one in the Scooby no problem, though I'd prefer light green illumination. To be honest the screen on my original Philips tape deck is playing up so I may have to change it at some point and that would be up there.... Would miss the tape deck though as I actually still have some of those!

 

[scub]

still use cassettes??
go you

More of a reflection of the music I like.... And I'm old too.

if you're into rock music I'm sure I've still a box full of tapes.

I had my Scooby near two years before I realised it had a CD changer! Wasn't in the boot like it usually is in a Scooby so though it didn't have one....its under the passenger seat. Still use tapes though.

I prefer rear mounted USB ports too. In the Touareg I have an Alpine unit with rear USB and a Brodit active phone mount. Nice and tidy.
