The advantage in your car.

It’s not whether you win or lose, it’s how you play the game. As long as you’re one of the winners.

Each new win raises

the bar: for you as well as for

us. We are well aware of this, not only

because we have come out winning the

tests conducted by trade magazines time and

again, but because we are also an official spon-

sor of the German Touring Car Masters. And we always use the experience we gain in our pioneering technological advances to make you a winner,

too. Take radio reception in CD quality, for example.

Traffic congestion avoidance thanks to proactive

navigation. Travel entertainment and sound

experience customised to meet your specific

needs. Our drive for perfection is reflec-

ted in all Blaupunkt’s products.

And that makes everyone

a winner.

Fun – Are you in the market for an attractive, new passenger in your vehicle?

Good music

demands good sound. And

that always goes hand-in-hand

with the best possible reception.

Brilliant sound and rich volume.

Perfectly matched components. And

that means technology that is – and

stays – state-of-the-art. And then

there’s individual sound con-

figuration. And it’s all

Blaupunkt.

Bremen MP74

The TwinCeiver Bremen MP74, a digital twin receiver with a Digital Directional Antenna (DDA), is clearly the top choice for individualists with the most exacting demands on sound and tuner performance. It is equipped with a four-channel, self-adjusting equalizer with a total of 108 bands and delivers

richly detailed, differentiated, well-balanced sound. It is also possible to adjust all 108 bands on your PC – to reflect your own personal tastes and to accommodate the conditions in your specific vehicle interior. Experience listening pleasure in a new dimension.

Seattle MP74

The Seattle MP74 with the Digital DigiCeiver is equipped with a DEQmaxEX equalizer with a self-adjusting function that enables it to determine perfect sound all on its own. Thanks to the digital, self-adjusting parametric 5-band equalizer, you’ll

enjoy differentiated range of sound that can be individually adjusted to accommodate the vehicle acoustics. You can also choose from three key variocolor illuminations; green, red and amber, which make the Seattle look perfect in your dashboard.

Acapulco MP54

The Acapulco MP54 with an MP3-enabled CD drive and DEQmaxEX, a digital, fully parametric, self-adjusting 5-band equalizer, is state-of-the-art in terms of technology as well as looks. Real sound freaks can now use the PC connection to

adjust all the sound parameters on their PCs and the VarioColour display is a delight to the eyes. You can select exactly the display colour you want from more than 4,000 shades.

MP3 and CD Tuners.

Nowadays, it’s hard to imagine in-vehicle sound without MP3 sound files. The advantages are obvious: not only is there a diverse range of storage media, you’ve got a choice of different playback devices as well. The most important argument in favour of this technology, however, is the compression standard used for music files, based on the MPEG1 standard –

which gives you hours of music listening enjoyment. And a new interface also makes it possible to connect an iPod, the mobile MP3 player from Apple®. The unique VarioColour feature also offers a great deal of flexibility in looks: 4,096 different shades of colour enable you to match up the radio perfectly to virtually any vehicle dashboard.

Get to your destination quicker and more conveniently than ever before.

Precise, reliable route guidance with traffic congestion ahead avoidance is good. Individual navigation – with a setting option to combine the quickest and the shortest route – is better.

And being able to listen to music at the same time – CD or MP3 – means technology of the finest.

The TravelPilot E , the TravelPilot E ’s big brother, is equipped to perfection in terms of technology as well as looks. Enjoy MP3 sound or your favourite CD, while you take advantage of the dynamic corridor function to get wherever you’re going on the optimal route without a traffic jam in sight. Thanks to house number interpolation, the TravelPilot E not only finds the best way to the street

you’re looking for, it takes you directly to the front door. Just insert the Europe navi CD to get you to virtually any destination in Europe. Precise navigation with optional speed signal hook-up (easy to install). Easy installation in just three steps: remove the old system – connect the new one and attach the GPS antenna – slide the Travel-Pilot E right in. You’re done!

The TravelPilot E has been making it easy to go into the navigation mode since 2004. Thanks to a new chip concept, this navigation system is excellent value for money.

The Blaupunkt Bremen MP74 is the first car radio to have made it to “autohifi” magazine’s reference class, a prestigious award given by Europe’s well respected Car hifi magazine. Thanks to a self-adjusting equalizer (DSA Max) with 108 bands, which can also be adjusted individually, you’ll experience optimal sound at the touch of a button. And we even added an interface (PC connection) to connect the car radio with a PC so that you

can display all the sound settings conveniently on a large screen while you adjust them in real time. A TwinCeiver equipped with two DSP-based receivers puts the finishing touch on perfect radio reception. The TIM speech memory makes it possible to store traffic messages lasting a total of four minutes, and, last but not least, the high-resolution full-graphic display with VarioColour makes for a fantastic all-round package.
