We Install a Radwood Period-Look Blaupunkt Stereo in our Corrado

Today we replace our previous Bluetooth Radwood period-look stereo on the Supercharged VR6 Corrado with a Blaupunkt Milano 200BT head unit... How hard could it possible be???

Not even Ratarossa, Scotty Kilmer, The Car Wizard, Johnny the Car Ninja, Hoovie or Tavarish would dare tackle the insanity of resurrecting and modifying a 209,000 mile Corrado VR6 at the same time as a vintage Fiat Spider and maintaining a 241,000 mile 1.8t Jetta while tooling around in a 175,000 mile Mk4 R32 daily driver!! But I'm a special kind of crazy.
If you have an .:R32, Corrado, Fiat, Alfa, or some other weird quirky car that is a challenge to keep on the road, please share in the comments! If you've got a Sequoia, have pity on the other car owners whose vehicles will not outlast the rest of civilization as we know it.

Probably you have to swap pin 4 and 7 in the power harness.

[@CliffjumperCars]

At some point when other projects are not pressing, I will dive back into this with a multimeter to be sure what's going on powerwise in that harness.

If you’re losing all your stations then your car ignition wire is not hooked up correctly. Make sure your accessory ignition wire is hooked up to the right and same color that should fix the problem and save your stations.

Blaupunkt Stockholm and Skagen models allow you to change the colour of the backlight to match your retro car dash colour.

Thank for sharing that! Good info to have!!!

[@kikoteka3128]

Hi, I have a question can you remove the sound that the radio makes when you press a button? Thanks 5:58

[@jamestoal1901]

Did you ever get to the bottom of the station presets ? Thanks

[@CliffjumperCars]

I have not figured that out yet! Crutchfield doesn't officially support this radio, nor does Blaupunkt North America, as it's a Europe market unit. I have not had the bandwidth to go digging for support over there to get more info on this issue. Am guessing it's something to do with the switched power versus constant power. According to the wiring diagram it looks the same, but I have had to repair my harness previously, and it's entirely possible I switched two wires. Will need to dive back in there and test each wire to confirm what it's doing. I also have to repair the wire that goes to the antenna amplifier - I saw that had come disconnected and didn't have time to go resolder it. Some work yet to do on this. But most of the time I'm using Bluetooth, and other than having to toggle to Bluetooth every time I turn on the radio (it defaults to radio setting with every power cycle, instead of the last used function), that works beautifully.

Typically speaking most headunit's should have a constant non-switched 12v input that allows for storing to memory some even have small batteries. is there potentially a problem with this wire? @@CliffjumperCars

[@CliffjumperCars]

@@thedos2922 That would be what i suspect, but I haven't had the opportunity to go back in with a meter and check the wiring.

Hey Cliff jumper where did you get that magnetic phone mount, Rennline ?

[@CliffjumperCars]

That one's a Wedgy... you can find it here: www.gizmatictech.com/wedgy

Cool cool thanks 🙏🏼
