I do know about Blaupunkt. German audio. At one time I have seen it in almost every German car I was working/servicing, mostly 80s-90s early.

I wish I had been into German cars instead of Italian and American in that era. Might still be on the road

I have been a tech since before 1970. By 1970 I was 16 and building air cooled VWs. By 1984 I was a Master level tech with Audi, Porsche,VW, BMW and Benz.Just today I rebuilt a cylinder head for a VW 1.8 turbo Passat that dumped a t/belt and 20 valves. I still have 2 BMW E36 Cabrio's, one with the M3 setup, A TDI Passat and a 18 t Passat. The last Italian car I worked on a Alfa and it had burnt valves. Getting the head off was awfull. The head was seized to the studs.

I have a 74 Alfa coupe and a 76 Spyder. Pity me. Also owned a 79 Maserati. Hell to own. Fun to drive and sexy for those brief moments

I should have gone German.
