Default Re: Blaupunkt London MP37 Is Plug-n-Play and ROCKS !!!

Plugged the factory Crossfire stereo harness directly into the Blaupunkt, connected the antenna adaptor and it works great !!

Sounds terrific, although I definitely need to do the bass blocker caps on the door speakers, as the subs aren't doing much. The EQ is great, it really brings the Infinity speakers to life.

I painted the black trim piece silver (it's drying, not sure yet if I like the silver color walyworld had ).

The Blaupunkt London MP37 has a super good anti-skip memory on the CD player which was important to me as the SRT6 rides a bit stif with our s-h-i-t-t-y CA roads. It has pretty much everything the other Blaupunkt MPxx units have including Variocolor display featuring 4,096 colors for customized appearance to match any dash lighting, EQ, X-Bass, MP3, RDS, iPod and Bluetooth-ready, front panel AUX-In, etc. Mainly I wanted a step up in sound and the ability to play MP3 CD's as I have a ton already, plus the front panel AUX-IN is nice, I can use it with my HTC smartphone's MP3 player.

Once the paint dries on the trim plate, I'll button it up and take it for a rolling audio test. Just playing around with the deck after installing it, I like it. It's very easy to figure everything out (unlike some new decks), and the display looks great matched with the Crossfires green interior retro theme.

Best $85 (including antenna adaptor, removal tool and silver paint) I've spent in a long time. I'm looking forward to seeing the difference the bass blocker caps do. If anyone want's a great stereo upgrade without breaking the bank, I highly recommend this deck
Great Deal Cal Cobra. I am glad everything worked out. The radio is NICE! And great that it is a plug and play! Just watch out for the back AUX jack. There was some hissing noise for me and I wasn't happy with the adaptor. Maybe it was just me!
