Old Blaupunkt Bavaria Radio Installation Question

[wildstoats]

I picked up an old Blaupunkt Bavaria C II for my e30 recently. Wiring was a breeze but it didn't come with a bracket or cage. I haven't really been able to find any info on these old radios so does anyone know the best way to mount them? Is there a specific bracket that I need, if so does anyone have a source?

TIA

take side pics. Seems similar to orig radios in appearance these cars had.

I have a similar one and it uses a cage.

As requested.





Thanks everyone.

Yeah, yours uses the same 1/2 cage mine does.

may I ask why you guys want outdated technology?

For ascetics. Or originality.

Seems like an odd question on an e30 forum ;). I just wanted a tape deck and something a little different.

Don't suppose you have a source on this side of the pond for these do you? I'm only finding them for sale on UK eBay and the first one I ordered got lost in NYC. Any info would be helpful.

Wanted to update this thread for any curious parties that may find it in the future. The correct part number to make it all work is: 65121388703. Thanks Todd.

Hrm, I thought I was all good to go here, apparently not. When I did the initial wiring I didn't have any rear speakers, P.O. hawked them, I finally got around to installing some but I don't have any sound output.

If I swap the front speaker connectors to the rear at the head unit I have full power at the rear so the wiring appears to be fine. I also noticed that if I disconnect the fronts and leave the rears hooked up correctly I can get some audio with the volume turned all the way up.

So my first question is, does anyone know if this particular head unit is 2-channel or 4-channel? If it's two that answers my question. Otherwise I'm open to suggestions.

TIA
