Will this stereo fit in my classic car?
The Bremen SQR 46 DAB features a standard 1-DIN size with a short mounting depth, making it ideal for classic cars with shortened installation spaces. It's compatible with most vehicles that have a standard DIN radio slot, including popular classics like Porsche 911s, BMW E30s, and VW Golf Mk2s.

Does the included DAB antenna work well?
The included DAB+ windscreen antenna provides basic functionality, though some users report reception can be sensitive and may cut out under bridges or in poor signal areas. For optimal performance, ensure the antenna is properly grounded and positioned on the windscreen. Many users find the antenna adequate for urban areas but may consider upgrading for improved reception.

Can I connect my smartphone for music and calls?
Yes, the unit features built-in Bluetooth with A2DP for wireless music streaming and hands-free calling. It includes both built-in and external microphones for clear call quality. The stereo is also "Made for iPhone/iPod" certified and offers dual USB ports - one front-facing for flash drives and one rear-facing for smartphone charging and control.

Will the display and controls match my classic car's interior?
The Bremen SQR 46 DAB faithfully recreates the authentic 1980s styling of the original Bremen radio while adding modern Vario Colour illumination. You can adjust the display and button colours from 4,096 different options to perfectly match your car's interior lighting, maintaining that period-correct appearance.

What audio sources can I use with this stereo?
The unit supports multiple audio sources including FM/AM radio with RDS, DAB+ digital radio, Bluetooth streaming, USB flash drives, SDHC cards up to 32GB, and a front auxiliary input. It plays MP3 and WMA audio formats and features a 3-band semi-parametric equalizer with preset sound modes for Rock, Pop, and Classic.

Are there any installation considerations I should know about?
Installation is generally straightforward with standard ISO connectors, though some users report needing to swap the permanent and ignition 12V wires depending on their car's wiring configuration. The unit includes permanent memory to retain settings even when the battery is disconnected, and steering wheel control compatibility is available with the programmable input.
