Important notes
Precautions
Before starting to use your new car radio,
please read the following information care-
fully.
Traffic safety
As the driver of a motor vehicle, it is your
responsibility to pay attention to the traffic
situation at all times. Never use your car
radio in a way that could distract you.
Please keep in mind that you travel a dis-
tance of 15 yards per second at a speed of
only 30 miles per hour.
Should the traffic situation become particu-
larly demanding, we advise you not to use
the radio.
Always make sure that you are still able to
hear any warning signals coming from out-
side of the vehicle, such as police or fire
engine sirens, so that you can react accord-
ingly.
Therefore, you should always select a mod-
erate volume for playing your car radio while
you are driving.

Zmote control
With the infrared steering wheel remote con-
trol and its signal-receiving apparatus you
can control all of the important functions of
your car audio system from the steering
wheel.

Installation
If you would like to install your new car ster-
eo yourself or add other audio components
to existing ones, then please read carefully
the enclosed instructions on installation and
connection.
In order to ensure that the set operates prop-
I
erly it is necessary that the positive power
supply line is connected via the ignition and
the permanent +12 V lead.
Do not ground the loudspeaker outputs!
Telephone mute
If you have a mobile telephone installed in
your vehicle, radio or CD playback can be
muted automatically when using the phone
(telephone mute).
“PHONE” will then appear in the display.
Accessories
Use only the accessories and spare parts
approved by Blaupunkt.
You can use the following Blaupunkt prod-
ucts with this car stereo:
Changer
CDC A 05 or CDC A 071
KeyCard theft protection system
The Blaupunkt KeyCard Security System
provides an effective and convenient means
of theft deterrence. Each unit operates only
when it’s own card is inserted. No card, no
use. It’s that simple.
The unit’s flashing tongue and security sys-
tem window stickers emphasize that point
to the potential thief. No bulky release pan-
el to put in your pocket - under your seat -
where thieves know to look for it. Just re-
move the card and put in your wallet or pock-
et. It’s that convenient.
This unit is supplied with two Keycards, a
blue “main” card and “screamer” card. The
difference: the warranty/serial number (the
“radio pass data”) has been embedded into
the main card in case you ever need it.
In addition to convenient security, each card
has a personal memory bank for the FM1
and AMT band presets, bass, treble, bal-
ance, fader and DSC settings. The benefit:
two drivers, such as a husband and wife,
can store separate settings to their individ-
ual likings on their separate cards.
To replace a lost or stolen card, please
call l-800-920-21 21.
Putting the unit into operation
Turn the unit on.
Make the orange tongue stick out by
pressing it into the radio so that it pops
out.
Insert the KeyCard into the slot with
the gold contact facing up and the ar-
row pointed into the unit.
The car radio is now ready for operation.
If a wrong KeyCard is inserted, then “CARD
ERR” will appear in the display. In this case
please do not make any further adjustments.
The system will switch off after approxi-
mately ten seconds. When inserting anoth-
er card type (e.g. phone or credit card), the
display will show “WRONG KC” for approx-
imately two seconds.
4. Remove the wrong card and introduce
the correct KeyCard after the display
indications “CARD ERR” or “WRONG
KC” disappear.
5. Press ON to turn the set on.
12

Removing the KeyCard
Never pull out the KeyCard directly!
lFirst, slightly push in the KeyCard.
This releases the card and puts it in the
proper position for being removed.
lNow you can pull it out.
Replacing a KeyCard
Insert the remaining KeyCard and turn
on the set.
Press the DSC button and select
“LEARN KC” with A/V.
Press cc or 2>.
The display will switch to “CHANGE”.
4. Push in the KeyCard. The card is re-
leased and put in the proper position
for being removed.
5. Remove the first KeyCard and insert
the new one while “CHANGE” is still
being displayed.
After the display indication “READY” or
“LEARN KC”,
6. press DSC.
Now you can also use the new KeyCard for
operating your unit.
A maximum of two cards can be used for
the set.
Switching the audio source
Radio operation with RDS (Radio Data System)
If “SEARCH” appears in the display when
switching on the radio or recalling one of the
stored frequencies, the unit is automatically
searching for an alternative frequency.
“SEARCH” will disappear from the display
when the alternative frequency has been
found or after the frequency band has been
run through completely.
If the reception quality of the selected pro-
gram becomes too bad:
lTune into another station.
%sing the SRC button you can switch be-
tween the following audio sources:
radio,
CD, or
CDC (AUX)
CD operation is only available if a CD is in-
serted.
AUX is only available if no Blaupunkt chang-
er CDC A05 or CDC A 071 is connected.
“AUX ON” must be activated in the DSC
menu.
To switch to another source,
l press SRC briefly.
When trying to “train” a third one, the ac-
cess authorisation for the KeyCard not used
for the “training” process will be deleted
automatically.
Loss of both KeyCards
Please contact your dealer or in USA call
l-800-920-21 21.
Displaying the radio pass data
Using the “Blau” KeyCard supplied with your
set you can have the radio pass data such
as the model name, product number (7 6 . ..)
and serial number indicated on the display
panel.
Please refer to chapter “DSC programming
- READ KC”.
Optical indication for extra
security
Blinking KeyCard tongue
When the vehicle is stationary and the Key-
Card removed, the KeyCard tongue can be
switched to blink for extra anti-theft secu-
rity.
For this it is necessary that the positive pow-
er supply line and the permanent +I 2 V lead
are connected such as described in the in-
stallation instructions.
Be sure that “LED ON” is adjusted in the
DSC mode.
If required, please refer to chapter “DSC
programming - LED”.
Turning off the blinking LED
When you insert your KeyCard, the LED is
I
automatically turned off until the card is re-
moved and the ignition turned off, assum-
ing the unit is connected as described in the
installation instructions.
If you do not want the tongue to blink at any
time, simply access “LED” in the DSC menu,
and press << or r> to turn in off.
Care of your KeyCard
For a proper function of the KeyCard it is
important that the contacts are free from any
foreign particles. Avoid direct skin contact.
If necessary, clean the KeyCard contacts
using a cotton swab soaked with alcohol.

This radio is equipped to receive Radio Data
System or RDS signals. RDS is a second-
ary signal used by many FM radio stations
to broadcast additional information. Blau-
punkt has been a key player in developing
RDS in Europe.
This radio’s RDS features include program
service name (PS), which automatically dis-
plays RDS station’s identification such as
WNYC-FM or THE WAVE. Other RDS fea-
tures included are alternative frequency
switching (AF), program type identification
and search (PTY), and capability to receive
future Emergency Alert System (EAS) mes-
sage broadcasted by RDS stations. All are
explained in this section.
AF - Alternative frequency
The AF (Alternative Frequency) function
makes sure that the strongest frequency of
the currently selected program is always
tuned in automatically.
This function is activated when “AF” appears
in the display.
In order to switch this function on or off,
lpress the AF button briefly.
While searching for the strongest reception
signal, the radio may switch to mute briefly.
Selecting a waveband
With this car radio you can select between
the following wavebands:
FM 87.5 - 107.9 MHz
AM 530- 1710 kHz
lSelect the desired waveband by press-
ing the FMT or AMT button.

SPEAKER CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS
The unit’s Dual-Level Fader allows you to fade between the front and the rear channels using either
the front and/or rear speaker leads and/or the rear preamp outputs, providing you tremendous
flexibility in configuring your speaker arrangement:
l You can connect a speaker (regular, co-axial or tri-axial speakers or component speaker system,
all hereafter referred to simply as “speaker”) to each of the units’ four pairs of speaker leads.
l With the purchase of Blaupunkt accessory wire harness 8 643 494 218, you can connect the
4 RCA preamp outputs to multiple external amplifiers and power multiple speakers or speaker
systems through the amplifiers. (See below)
l You can use a either or both of these two methods.
l Blaupunkt amplifiers and speakers sold separately.
Connecting the Speaker Leads
To prevent short circuits or serious damage to the unit and/or speakers:
l Connect the speaker leads only as indicated in the wiring diagram. Disconnect the vehicle
battery’s negative terminal before making connections.
l Only use speakers that have impedance ratings of 4 ohms or higher and have power-handling
capabilities greater than the receiver’s stated power level.
l The unit’s internal amplifier is designed to handle a 4-ohm load on each pair of speaker leads.
l DON’T connect two soeakers to a sit-role oair of speaker leads (“in parallel”) unless both speakers
each have at least 8 ohms impedance.
l DON’T connect the left and riqht speaker leads to each other or to the same speakers.
l DON’T connect the front and year speaker leads to each other or to the same speakers.
l DON’T connect the negative speaker leads to each other.
l DON’T connect the positive speaker leads to each other.
l DON’T connect any active speakers (with built-in amplifiers) to the speaker leads unless their
owner’s manuals specifically state that this is O.K.
l Cover the ends of any unused leads with electrical tape. This will prevent them from touching the
vehicle or each other and causing a short-circuit and damage to the receiver or vehicle.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
This car radio is designed to be installed in the car radio compartment provided by the vehicle
manufacturer. Open the car radio compartment (remove the shelf or panel by unclipping it) or
adjust the size of the car radio compartment to measure 182 x 53 mm.
The mounting bracket included with this car radio is designed for installation in vehicles with a
standard DIN installation compartment measuring 182 x 53 mm, al65mm installation depth and
an instrument panel thickness of approximately 1 to 20 mm in the area of the tab fasteners, see
Fig. 1. Reach behind the car radio compartment and check to see which tab fasteners can be
bent on the mounting bracket. Place the mounting bracket in the compartment and bend over
the tabs with the help of a screwdriver, see Fig. 1, 2. Be sure to bend all of the tabs possible.
Your vehicle may also allow you to provide extra ability at the back of the unit. Look at the wall
behind the radio cavity to see if there is a small hole the size of the enclosed plastic plugs. If so,
screw one or both of the plugs onto the threaded bolt at the back of the unit before pushing the
unit into the mounting sleeve.
Place the car radio in the front of the mounting bracket and push it in until the side springs snap
into position on the left and the right (you will hear an audible click).
Removing the car radio
Insert the handles into the holes in the panel on the left and right of the radio and push them in
until you hear a distinct click (unlocks side springs).
Pull the unit out using both handles, see Fig. 3.
Note: Handles which have snapped into place can only be removed after you have pulled
the radio out of the compartment.
