Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this stereo fit my car?
A: Most vehicles need a fascia panel, wiring harness and sometimes a steering wheel control interface to fit a new stereo. Contact CEN with your make, model and year and we will confirm the exact installation kit needed, or browse our Connects 2 installation kits.
Q: Will I keep my steering wheel controls?
A: Yes, in almost all cases. A steering wheel control interface retains your existing buttons with the new stereo. Parts are sold separately.
Q: Does this stereo support Apple CarPlay or Android Auto?
A: Check the Specification tab, which lists smartphone connectivity for each model including whether CarPlay and Android Auto are wired or wireless on that unit.
Q: What is the difference between single DIN and double DIN?
A: DIN refers to the chassis size. Single DIN units are the traditional slim format, while double DIN units are twice the height and typically carry a touchscreen. Your vehicle's dash aperture and fascia kit determine which fits.
Q: Can CEN supply and fit the stereo?
A: Yes. CEN offers professional supply and installation from our Nottingham premises, including fascia, wiring and steering control integration. Contact us for a fitted price.
Q: Is the Blaupunkt Bremen SQR 46 DAB suitable for a classic car?
A: Yes. It keeps the styling of the original 1986 Bremen SQR 46 and has a short installation depth (58 x 178 x 110 mm, H x W x D), which suits classic cars with shortened installation slots.
Q: Can I connect two phones to the Bremen SQR 46 DAB?
A: Yes. Twin-Connect allows 2 phones to be connected at the same time for telephony, and up to 5 devices can be paired. It supports Bluetooth hands-free calling, phonebook access and A2DP music streaming.
