The newly released cult car radio “HAMBURG SQM 23 DAB”
Ideal for 80s vehicles!

Over the years, some models have become true cult objects. The legendary Blaupunkt “Hamburg SQM 23” from 1983. Now we present the reinterpretation of the popular 1-DIN car radio and combine the design of the 80s model with new technologies and functions. The result is the Blaupunkt “Hamburg SQM 23 DAB”.

Its operating concept, the simple design and the crystal-clear reception contributed greatly to the popularity of the original Hamburg car radio. This is how we took over the styling of the original model with the new edition, but at the same time we gave the radio a modern multi-color lighting for the LC-display. The button inscriptions, which were still illuminated with light bulbs, are now replaced with modern and durable warm-white LEDs. This lighting can also be activated via the vehicle lighting even when the car radio is switched off.

The first-class reception remains a strength of the new young timer car radio thanks to the Blaupunkt CodeM FM RDS tuner and DAB+ digital tuner. New are the multimedia interfaces for modern Apple® devices and USB mass storage media for music playback or for charging the mobile phone. The new model also supports Bluetooth® audio streaming from apps such as a music player or streaming service such as Spotify on the mobile phone.

The mobile phone can be accessed without having to take it in your hand by the voice assistant (such as Siri, Google or Alexa). Of course, hands-free is also supported.

In order to be able to select an audio source such as USB, Apple iPod or Bluetooth directly, one button of the device can be programmed via the menu accordingly in order to start your favorite source. The settings of the device are stored permanently, even with the disconnection of the battery - even if this is no longer necessary thanks to the minimal standby power consumption in order to preserve the battery.

The new “Hamburg SQM 23 DAB” has a short installation depth – ideal for young timers with shorter installation slots. However, the car radio itself does not take the user along on a time trip. The packaging of the device was also designed inexpensively and imitated the original.

Multicolor LCD and front USB
The display of the Hamburg SQM 23 DAB can be set in 7 different colors and adapted to vehicle-specific cockpit lighting. One of the two USB ports is hidden behind the front cover. Short USB-sticks can thus disappear visually behind the flap to get the original look.
