Blaupunkt Now 100% DIN/ISO for Car Stereo Head Units

BROADVIEW, IL. October 14, 2002 -- With the introduction of its new top-of-the-line Skyline 3 models this month, all new Blaupunkt car stereo head units will now feature DIN and ISO mounting capability for easy installation in essentially all types of cars. Previous Skyline 1 and Skyline 2 models were all DIN only, making it difficult to install them in many Asian automobiles.

“This move to 100% DIN/ISO is an important change for Blaupunkt,” said Dallas Wilson, Radio & CD Product Manager. “Our dealers have challenged us to adapt our premium level Skyline 3 radio family for Asian vehicle applications. Skyline has always been easy to install in domestic and European applications, but they often required the installer to modify the dashboard and mounting brackets for installations in many Nissans and Toyotas. I can only expect that with this modification to our Skyline 3 family, will continue to grow our already outstanding share of the after market radio business.”

All of the new Skyline 3 models will include removable trim ring. When this ring is left in place, the radio can be installed through the front of the dashboard of DIN-compatible vehicles. Removing the trim ring allows the radio to be installed from behind the dash in ISO compatible vehicles.

Blaupunkt, the mobile electronics division of The Robert Bosch Corporation, designs and manufactures high quality and high performance car audio, video and navigation products for sale worldwide.
