Blaupunkt Wolfsburg 648 DAB
Blaupunkt Wolfsburg 648 DAB is a modern multimedia head unit designed specifically for selected Volkswagen, Škoda and Seat vehicles. Visually it follows the original head units used roughly from 2008 onwards, so it fits very well into the dashboards of older vehicles from the Volkswagen group, while technically it offers contemporary features such as wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto, DAB+, Bluetooth, USB and an AV input. The centerpiece of the head unit is a 7" color TFT touchscreen with a resolution of 1024 × 600 px and an anti-reflective coating. Variable button backlighting allows matching the radio's appearance to the vehicle's original interior lighting, and day and night modes are also included.
Modern connectivity in an original look
Blaupunkt Wolfsburg 648 DAB is an ideal solution for owners of older VW, Škoda or Seat cars who want to preserve the interior look appropriate to the vehicle's era while taking advantage of modern infotainment. It supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto both wired and wirelessly, so you can conveniently use navigation, calls, music apps or voice assistants directly through the radio's display.
DAB+ and high-quality FM tuner
The head unit is equipped with a quality tuner for FM, AM, DAB and DAB+. Digital DAB+ reception offers higher sound quality, a wider selection of stations and additional broadcast information. Radiotext / DLS, an alphabetical DAB station list and the Service Following function for automatic switching between available signal sources are also available.
Advanced sound customization options
Blaupunkt Wolfsburg 648 DAB offers digital audio processing and a 12-band equalizer, preset sound modes and a Loudness function. The integrated amplifier provides a maximum power of 4 × 45 W at 4 Ω, while the manufacturer states a sinusoidal power of 4 × 26 W at 14.4 V according to DIN 45324. For expanding the audio system, 4-channel RCA preamp outputs and a separate RCA output for a subwoofer are available, so the radio can be easily combined with an external amplifier or an active subwoofer.
CAN-Bus integration with the vehicle
The package includes Quadlock II wiring with CAN-Bus interface and a Quadlock II to Quadlock III adapter. Thanks to CAN-Bus communication, certain functions linked to the vehicle electronics can be retained or used in selected vehicles. Depending on the specific vehicle and its equipment, the radio supports information such as PDC, multifunction display or the speed signal GALA.
