Default What was the original stereo that came with '83 quattro?

Some Blaupunkt cassette player right? Anybody have the model name or numbers on it?

Default It was a Panasonic, and a piece of junk. Finding an original that works would be tough.

Someone posted a picture of one lately, perhaps Martin, in an original car.

The bad part is that the buttons would break, leaving you on AM. I had a bag of those switches in the late '80s from repairing those things on Audis and VWs of that vintage. The tape sections were also subpar, not that anyone cares these days.

I seem to remember having a Philips that looked very similar to that.....

I thought the Philips was the euro radio, Panasonic for the US cars.

Then there's this option too. Not sure how common it is or not.

The europeans also got a Blaupunkt option, the "Melbourne"

Default I just picked up an '83 CGT

I'm trying to find a URQ, but either they're too nice and expensive or really beat and still expensive.

I've come across a couple that were what I was looking for, but for various reasons it didn't work out.

There are actually a whole bunch more cars in the shop now! I've been buying Coupes left and right.
