About the Blaupunkt SKAGEN 400 DAB
From our tech experts at CEN
The Blaupunkt Skagen 400 DAB is a single-DIN car stereo with a retro OEM-look design, offering DAB/DAB+ and FM/AM tuning alongside Bluetooth 5.0 for hands-free calling and audio streaming. It produces 4 × 50W max (4 × 24W sine) across four channels, with four-channel RCA pre-outs, a two-channel subwoofer output, and multi-colour illumination selectable in seven colours.
Who it suits
Suited to drivers replacing an older single-DIN head unit who want digital radio and a factory-style finish. The programmable analogue steering wheel control input is compatible with many standard vehicle setups. For a retro-style alternative, the Blaupunkt Frankfurt RCM 82 is worth comparing.
Our tech experts advise
The Skagen 400 DAB fits any standard single-DIN aperture; most installations will need a fascia adapter and ISO wiring harness. A DAB aerial with an SMB connector is required separately — the unit supplies 12V phantom power. The front USB supports drives up to 128 GB formatted as FAT16, FAT32, or exFAT. Installation is priced per vehicle; see our car audio installation page for details.

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: Does the Blaupunkt Skagen 400 DAB need a DAB aerial?
A: The Skagen 400 has a dedicated SMB DAB antenna input with 12V phantom power for an active DAB aerial, alongside a DIN/ISO FM aerial input (with adaptor). It also offers DAB-FM service following to switch to FM when the DAB signal drops.
Q: Can I make hands-free calls with the Blaupunkt Skagen 400?
A: Yes. It has Bluetooth 5.0 hands-free calling with an internal microphone, and an external microphone is included in the box. It can access a phonebook of up to 1,000 numbers and supports voice assistants such as Siri, Google and Alexa.
Q: Can the Blaupunkt Skagen 400 play music from a USB stick?
A: Yes. The front USB port reads FAT16, FAT32 and exFAT drives over 128GB and plays MP2, MP3, WMA, FLAC, M4A/AAC and WAV files. iPod and iPhone control is also supported via USB.
