Default Blaupunkt ???

I see Crutchfield only has one dd Blaupunkt hu I expected more. It's been many years since I've considered a new hu. Back then Blaupunkt was top of the line. Just wandering if anyone has installed one in their C6 or other models. I'm considering a new hu for my 05.

For $140 I wouldn't expect top of the line.

If you want a good head unit for a reasonable price, I would suggest the Kenwood 9904s for $400 while supplies last. Crutchfield just sold out of them, but there is a seller on Amazon offering it for $399 through Amazon prime. It has been replaced by the 9905s in Kenwood's line up so they are selling at a steep discount right now.

That must have been a REALLY long time ago since Blue Dot has been considered less than desirable for quite a while now.

I don't know what your price point is, but if you're in the $750 range, I don't think you can beat this:

Pioneer AVIC 8201NEX Pioneer AVIC 8201NEX

Happy shopping.

Yep, Blaupunkt in my opinion aren't what they used to be, seems to me most on this forum go with Pioneer (such as myself) or Kenwood or Alpine.

This is the HU I installed a couple months ago in my C6, one of the best decisions I made. Just keep in mind, you'll need to budget for another ~$80 for a PAC RP5-GM11. Makes the install a breeze. Once you get all the wiring done between this and the HU harness, the radio is just a simple plug a play.

While you're at it, throw in a camera or two since you'll have the console blown apart for the install anyway. I got a reverse cam for less than $20 on Amazon as well. So for ~$500, all in, you'd be all set.
