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 pioneer-
ing 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 attrac-
tive, 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 stand-
ard 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 virtu-
ally 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 desti-
nation 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
TravelPilot E started off as the first radio-based naviga-
tion system with optimal route guidance (combination of quick-
est and shortest route) and a dynamic corridor function.
And while you are listening to your favourite CD, the Travel-
Pilot E gets you to your destination, quickly and reliably.
The TravelPilot E is also able to boast easy installation
in just three steps thanks to the optional speed signal hook-up.

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.
