Need to buy a CD head unit and have always liked the design of Blaupunkt. Thinking of the Denver CD70, one of the Skyline range.

Has anybody got any experience of modern Blaupunkt gear? How does it stack up to offerings from the more popular manufacturers (in terms of quality and value for money)?

Useful links:

have had several blaupunkt units.

all have been good decent bits of kit. Dont really know how they stack up against the rest of the market as I have not chopped and changed them often enough

Thanks Robyn.

One thing I meant to ask about was thier KeyCard system. Basically you need to insert a card into the unit to operate it. When the Keycard isn't inserted a flashing orange "tongue" pops out of the unit supposedly showing that thier is no point in pinching it. I wonder whether a potential thief would be clever enough to realise that a Blaupunkt sticking its tongue out wouldn't be worth nicking?
