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.
