A140 Blaupunkt C30 cassette/radio replacement

[jlevene]

On our new '2nd hand' A140 (X-Reg) it has a Blaupunkt Cassette/Radio with Dublin C30 DMS printed on the cassette door flap.

How difficult would this be to replace with a CD/Radio?

I have not removed the radio yet but would like to know if the connectors at the rear of the radio are faily standard with radios today?

Thanks
Jeff

Plug and play, universal plug, adapator should be supplied with the new radio.

Blaupunkt CD/Radio

If it's of interest I have a Blaupunkt Toronto RDM128 DMS Radio/CD which came from a 2001 Mercedes. It is the standard size and has the standard Blaupunkt plugs (stack of 3 connectors of 10, 8 and 8 pins) on the back. It also has the Key Card security system.
I bought it to replace my Merc's Radio which I thought had died, then found it was actually the wiring to the battery that was faulty and have left the original 1995 Blaupunkt in place after all.
I have all the instructions, paperwork etc, and it worked fine on testing.
Let me know. I think I paid about £120 for it, so I wouldn't let it go cheaply! if you want to do it more cheaply, most Motor Spares shops would be able to sort it for you with a cheap unit for £50 or so. The connectors are not such a big issue as they would have the necessary adaptors.

David,
Thanks for the offer (not just to me), after speaking with the wife she has agreed that she doesn't need a CD player as she only listens to Magic on the radio. I know, no accounting for taste - lol

I might look into a radio with iPod dock at some point in the future.

Regards,
Jeff

No problem, I wasn't desperate to sell - happy to keep it as a spare!
