Blaupunkt Casablance MP56 opinions

[matylad]

Hi all.

Im after a bit of advice. I have a Leon Cupra R and am looking to change the headunit. I have seen this one..........

which i think will match my interior quite well (i have the silver center console) However i've never owned a Blaupunkt HU and i am wondering what you guys in the know think about Blaupunkt equipment??

Thanks.

I know plenty of people who have had Blaupunkts and had no trouble - I like the idea of an external HD but it does seem a little bit gimmicky when you can just get an Ipod cable.

How much they asking for it?

I've found it for £149.99 which i didnt think was too bad considering the features it has. The HD is an optional extra I would more than likely use either a usb pen or a MMC, I dont think a hard drive would appreciate being jolted around in a LCR.
An ipod was an option but then I found this unit and didnt really see the point of an ipod as I wouldnt use it for anything else.

Thanks for the reply BTW

Anyone else got opinions on Blaupunkt??

Cheers, Matt

iv got a blaupunkt dab headunit...its a nice headunit, only problem was that i had to get an adaptor for the sub out, and that was like £20, and even then only 1 sub out works!!! but that may be just mine. i have the ipod connection aswell, its good as it charges ur ipod, and you can use the stereo control to change track, although the name of the track doesnt show....and you cant use the ipod when its plugged in, as its a safety feature.

hope this helps, med
