Retro meets high-tech!
The perfect symbiosis of nostalgic design and modern technology: the FRANKFURT Stereo MB retro car radio – visually an original from the 1970s, technically a state-of-the-art device.
With the classic dimensions of 1970s dashboard devices, rotary and push buttons, and the striking pinstripe front with chrome frame, the FRANKFURT Stereo MB exudes authentic retro charm in the classic car cockpit. Beneath its timeless exterior lies state-of-the-art technology: equipped with the Blaupunkt Codem IV high-end tuner, it offers FM, AM and DAB+ for excellent reception and sound.
The integrated multicolour display can be set to digital or analogue mode, just like in the old days, and operated via a rotary knob.
In addition to classic radio reception, the device impresses above all with audio streaming and hands-free telephony via Bluetooth, including access to the smartphone phone book and voice assistants such as Siri or Google.
There is also a USB charging function for mobile phones, a steering wheel remote control connection and the option to deactivate ignition-plus detection.
Last but not least, the nostalgic radio delivers rich sound with a high level of user comfort thanks to various sound presets, a 4-channel preamplifier output, sub-out and 4x 75 watts (at 2 ohms) output power.
The device can be installed in various dashboard mounting slots. For example, mounting materials are included for axle mounting and 1-DIN mounting slots.
