Notable models include the Bremen SQR 46 DAB, a reimagined version of the iconic 1986 radio, and the Frankfurt RCM 82 DAB, which combines a classic look with contemporary functionality.

About Blaupunkt
Blaupunkt is one of the founding names of in-car entertainment — a German company whose story began in Berlin in 1924, whose blue-dot quality mark became its name, and which built Europe's first car radio in 1932. Today the marque continues across car stereos, speakers, dash cams and accessories, trading on a century of automotive audio heritage.

Which Blaupunkt stereo should I choose?
For a classic car, start with the look: the Bremen, Frankfurt and Hamburg models recreate period Blaupunkt styling, while the 200 and 400 series give a cleaner OEM look. Choose a DAB model if you want digital radio. For trucks and buses, match the stereo to the vehicle's voltage, choosing a 24 volt model where needed.
