Blaupunkt Bremen was a reference at the time. Often more expensive than the car where it was installed.
Now Made in Chi.a and all over... too bad. Miserable DAB reception, operation of the transmitter memory buttons purely random functional, menu navigation I do not know ... Jammer pity such a quality label to disgrace. Drove only about 20Km. with me, then back in the box and goodbye!Pro

Familiar Blaupunkt quality
What you would expect from an (expensive) Blaupunkt radio. It has a lot of functions and fits perfectly into a newtimer in terms of design. Thanks to the short installation depth, the device fits well in the slot of old vehicles. I was very pleasantly surprised by the sound quality. I had installed a Blaupunkt radio from the noughties and then made a 1:1 comparison. Wow. The lighting can be set in different colours to match the other cockpit lighting. It's also dimmable and looks very nice and rich.
I haven't tried out telephony and DAB yet.Pro
- high functional scope
- Many setting options
- Short installation depth
- Excellent sound quality
Visually great - but price/performance do not fit for me
The radio was installed in a Mercedes W124 from 1989.
I really like the look and the colour of the lighting, which can be adapted to the vehicle.
The radio housing is very short at the back due to the lack of a CD drive, which makes it easier to install in the radio slot.
I use the radio mainly for listening to the radio via DAB. In each case, good reception was achieved with the supplied windscreen antenna (12V antenna power supply activated in the radio settings) and, on a trial basis, with an FM/DAB splitter via the original Hirschmann antenna.
Unfortunately, searching for and saving DAB stations is very cumbersome and the radio often hangs up when searching for DAB stations and remains stuck for minutes.
Since listening to DAB stations otherwise works well, I do not assume that the radio has a technical defect.
The look of the radio corresponds to the 80s/90s and is, in my opinion, very well made.
However, for me, the price/performance ratio of this radio is not right.
I am satisfied with the radio, but I would not consider buying it again because of the price (as of October 2020).
Pro
- Optics
- Colour setting can be adapted to vehicle
- Low installation depth in the radio slot
Contra
- Price
- Operation
- DAB station search
Does what it should
Visually, a feast for the eyes built into the classic. Unfortunately, the workmanship is not without flaws everywhere. The installation box does not hold the radio firmly. When pressed firmly, the radio visibly moves. This is due to play in the locking mechanism.
Unfortunately, the rotary knobs are also a little fiddly. It is also a pity that the Bluetooth function does not have its own button. It has to be selected in a cumbersome way by pressing the input button several times.
Due to the short installation depth, there is sufficient space for cable management.A worthy upgrade and far less expensive alternative to the Porsche Navigation Radio. Use your phone for navigation and save $1000.
Highlights:
- Perfectly matches the interior of my Porsche 944 in style and LED coloration
- Easy to install and set-up with iPhone, transforming the comfort of the driving experience
- High quality materials and construction. Sounds excellent.
Frustrations:
- The metal sleeve provided is slightly too big for the 944 radio opening. I suggest re-using the existing radio sleeve.
- The radio is much shorter than old ones, so it must be securely fitted.
- The interface of the LED screen takes some getting used to. Patience required to master of all its features.I installed the radio in my BMW e34. I can only recommend it.
Pro
- Quality
- Processing
- Installation and user-friendliness
Contra
- The price is a bit high, but definitely worth the money after installation.
A pale copy of the original
A copy of the original, the vintage look is 100% preserved, with the advantages of modern connectivity. However, the quality of the finish is deplorable: the keys, the materials... it's definitely made in china. Not worth the high price at all.
Pro
- Connectivity
- Retro look
Contra
- Quality of the finishes
Expectations fulfilled
I had read a lot and watched films beforehand, so I knew what I was buying. I installed it in a BMW 728i E23 (year 83) and it fits wonderfully. I don't see any optical alternative. The supplied antenna was only mounted on the windscreen with adhesive tape as a test. So far no drop-outs in the Zurich-Frauenfeld area, so it will be permanently mounted. It doesn't bother me visually, so mount it so that the small block faces the frame. At first, I installed a cheap splitter from Conrad, but since FM reception was much worse, I left it alone. The lower installation depth than "old" DIN radios is also useful to me, more space for the cables behind them.
The feel is really not like the original Bremen from the old days, but you can't have everything. Today's smartphones don't have the quality of a Nokia 3110 etc. either.
The operation is a little more difficult, many functions, but the display for the menu etc. is small for optical reasons. You can't compare it with today's radio with a large display. I practised DAB search in terms of channels or so... now a few fixes are stored and it works.
I don't want to talk about the price, because I don't have a comparison or an alternative to this radio. For me it fits, especially as my original radio had glitches anyway.
Digitec prices very fluctuating: I bought for 395.-, then it dropped to 360.-, now to 440.-.Pro
- DAB reception very good
- Adjustment options (e.g. colour)
- No alternative from the design point of view
- Sound good
- Scope of delivery such as ISO plug etc.
Contra
- Haptics not like "original
At the top
For the nostalgic, and especially for me, who has cars from this period, this Bremen is a perfection.
Bremen SQR 46, new classic
Perfect device for older cars, old look, modern technology.
I would buy again
Perfect retro design and the latest technology
Super
Top and fits perfectly to the Elfer
Could hardly be better for youngtimers
Installed and ready to go, this radio is wonderful. Notes: - Set the DAB antenna in the menu to 12V, otherwise you won't get all the stations; - Be sure to read the manual to know all the features; - Only 1 subwoofer RCA output: buy a Y cable for subwoofers with R/L inputs.
Pro
- Looks great in a youngtimer
- Top feel, nothing wobbles, very pleasant to use
- Connecting the mobile phone with Bluetooth works immediately
- Commands to mobile phone (pause, skip) are executed almost simultaneously
- Up to 5 mobile phones can be paired (and not just 2 as elsewhere)
- For those who like it: Colour adjustable through separate RGB control
Contra
- Bluetooth: It is not possible to fast-forward through songs, but only to skip entire tracks.
- Bluetooth: No indication of song titles on the display (or not yet discovered)
Problem solved
The unit gets hot quickly and switches off, but I am in contact with Blaupunkt.
Pro
- Ingenious retro design with the new technical features.
- Beautiful and valuable workmanship
Contra
