Alternative to Custom AutoJunk

[rbonitz]

I just bought a custom bezel with a Blaupunkt CD player for my '70 mustang - It's A nice alternative for those who don't want to cut their original bezel and beats the hell out of Custom AutoSound garbage.

Apparently the bezel is not sold seperately, but the Blaupunk is a pretty good unit...

Its a new item - I got it from CJ Pony Parts - but I'd guess it might be available elsewhere.

Man that's great! I'm going to start looking for it today...

If you go to www.cjponyparts.com and go the the online ordering section - search by part number - STBL2B

Or you can give them a call at 800-888-6473

Comes with either a block or woodgrain bezel...

Anyone got a pic of this Blaupunkt? There is still no pic at CJ and I can't even find the item at mustang depot? This sounds exactly like what I am looking for, but I'd like to get a look at it first.

By the way, if anyone else is wondering what this unit looks like, I got CJ to send me a pic of one. It's the wood grain, not the black I wanted, but it's still pretty sweet looking. I may have to re-think the stock fitting Kenwood I just ordered now. Unfortunately this one doesn't have a tape player for all my old classic tapes though. Hmmmm, now I don't know what to do.

Buy more CDs, and paint the plastic black....easy fix...tapes were out anyway.

Tape player? You gonna want a turntable next? J/K You could always burn your favorite songs onto a CD.

Well, thanks for the bright idea, but it's not always that simple. Many of the tapes were made for me from a dear friend who was a DJ. He passed away suddenly at the age of 34 several years ago and so they have a pretty sentimental value to them regardless of whether they are "out" or not. They simply can not be replaced by anything new and shiney. Besides, not so sure I'd want to paint such an expensive and new unit, I would just wait for the black one to be in stock.

Sorry for the typo...I didn't 'out' as in out of fad...I meant wear out....as in quality dimishes....while they are still good quality you can convert the speicifc mixes to a CD rather easily

As for painting a new peice.....this suggestion comes from someone that beat his hew expensive headers with a hammer to make them fit so I have a history of thinking buying the new part is just the beginning

It's nice that they made the custom bezel, but from the picture it looks as if the deck sticks out a ways, is that just an illusion? rbonitz, do you have a picture of it in your dash? How far does it actually come out in front of the bezel?

Thats just the curse of the after market radio. Factory radios are always nice and smooth installed in the dash, after market radios are always designed to stickout about a 1/4 inch. No matter how trick they made the bezel, they are limited to the design of aftermarket din radios all of which have a lip to sit out from the dash a little...I don't know why, but they just are.

Also, I believe this is a removable face plate design, so it probably does have to stick out a little if so.
