Problem is that when I google and search for the MP48, they are not available (or at least I wasn't able to find one).
Even eBay returns a search of zero (which leads one to believe none on the used market).
So I skip the MP48, as my dream unit is a pop-up LCD screen, bluetooth for hands free calling and music streaming from my Andriod fone, Aux/MP3 and USB front jacks, and lets throw in Garmin GPS. And it's all built into a single headset.
I think Kenwood has a model and features Garmin...!!!
Pig heaven for the techie at heart...
The MP48 (the model I have) is a watered down Blaupunkt. There were more expensive Blaupunkt models with more features available. Some people bought them and claimed to be a plug and ply just like the MP48. I am sure you can get a really nice Blaupunkt with tons of features and still do a simple installation yourself.
If you don't mind having a kid at Best Buy mess around with your interior and wires, get a different brand. Or if you have the talent to do it yourself get another brand. I had neither the talent or time to figure it out and I didn't want kids from best Buy messing up my car. I always wanted to swap the radio but never did for that reason until I heard about the compatibility with Blaupunkt. I only bought the MP48 to save a few bucks plus I didn't care about the extras. I only wanted something that coupld play MP3 discs and had a front aux jack for my Ipod. I didn't care about blutooth or fancy touch screen displays.
