308 radio and speaker upgrade

Yes!!


It's just been some time since the stereo was energized...
The faceplate was floating around on the floor as the waters from Harvey crept in, thankfully not much further...

I will try it today!!

 

I put a single DIN pioneer pull out screen Apple car play Bluetooth and phone 50w and used Morel speakers for the doors, bought pods from Crutchfield (as with everything else) and it sounds decent with the top on and even windows open.
Building a small passive subwoofer box (9x9x9) to put behind the footwell and power it with a mini 4 channel smart amp

My rear shelf speaker.

Link no longer working -- anyone know the model number ?

 

I believe that was the link to a Blaupunkt Bremen SQR 46 DAB. I have one in my 86 328.

 

BREMEN SQR 46 DAB - Blaupunkt

 

BREMEN SQR 46 DAB appears to be discontinued. There still a few for sale out there, but probably they will dry up soon. I'm on the fence only because it's $600 for a radio I'm unlikely to use very often. But I do have a hole in the dashboard right now.

 

I'm still a CD guy. In fact I walked from buying a used Jeep Cherokee last year over drawing a line in the sand with a CD player. I bought a 2014 ML350 instead because it has a 6 disc changer in it.

 

I’m going audiophile on my car.

It looks like a very cool unit. But from what I can tell the Bluetooth connection only works for handsfree calling and not for streaming audio. Is that true? If so then it's a pass for me unfortunately.

 

good video

 

It works for both calling and streaming.

 

Thanks guys. That’s helpful. I’m not sure where I read that it doesn’t stream over BT, but glad to hear that isn’t the case.

 

Does this in any way lower the value if my head unit is original? Would love some opinions. Thanks!

Lower the value ? Im not sure what that means

The 308's did not come with radio head units from the factory...only speakers

Head units where Dealer installed so there is no "Original" radio

 

He answered below. I did not know they did not come with a headunit.

 

Fantastic. Thank you!

 

+1

Although a period correct headunit with cassette player is ideal to keep your car “looking original”.

 

Great point. I will make sure I do. I heard this place in Houston does a great job. https://houstoncarstereo.com/
