Blaupunkt Emdem radio: I've recenctly purchased this radio..

Post by ANavarro »

...at ebay, and was wondering about the accuracy of installing it in my 66 Beetle. It has the VW logos engraved on the knobs, so I'm thinking it may be original equipment. Please, Am I right or wrong?

Best regards from Spain...!!!

I wish I could help on the radio - but the only thing I can talk to is the Sapphire Line - of which the Sapphire III was the correct model for the 66 beetle. I'm not sure on the one from ebay, it would need to be six volt for your 66 and then obviously it would need to not only fit the dash hole but you would want the dimentions of the radio to be correct inside the truck as well so that everthing can be hooked up correctly there (like the support bracket). I think Scruffy may know more about these radios so he may jump in and provide some info...
