BLAUPUNKT FRANKFURT RCM 82 DAB Single DIN USB AM/FM SD Bluetooth Aux-in Car Receiver

The classic 90s car radio returns!

The relaunched cult car radio “Frankfurt RCM 82 DAB” with many new features!

Over the years, some models have become true cult objects. Now we present the new interpretation of the popular 1-DIN car radio and combine the unique selling points of the 90s model with new technologies and functions. The result is the Blaupunkt “Frankfurt RCM 82 DAB”.

Its operating concept, simple design and crystal-clear reception contributed significantly to the popularity of the original Frankfurt RCM 82. In the new edition, we have adopted the styling of the original model, but at the same time given the radio a modern Vario Colour illumination for the keys and display.

Thanks to the Blaupunkt Codem IV FM RDS and DAB+ tuner, first-class reception also remains a strength of the new youngtimer car radio. New are the numerous interfaces, including two USB ports, an Aux connection and a microSD slot.

Audio streaming via Bluetooth is also not a dream of the future for the returning legend. Moreover, the radio bears the “Made for iPhone/iPod” label and ensures appropriate compatibility.

The audio sources can all be selected directly via buttons, and many other settings can also be accessed directly at the touch of a button. Further functions are located in the clearly structured menu, which is presented in German or English. All settings are permanently stored even if the battery is disconnected. This means that the entertainer from the 90s has arrived in the present.

The new “Frankfurt RCM 82 DAB” has a short installation depth – ideal for youngtimers with shortened installation slots. But it is not only the car radio itself that takes the user on a journey through time; the packaging of the device has also been elaborately designed and modelled on the original.
