I have an early Blaupunkt Frankfurt AM/FM for sale in the for sale parts forum here and it is a mono version. I received a PM saying only "Stereo" versions were installed in 914's and 914-6's at the factory. Obviously you could order a stereo version (very expensive) but I would guess most 914's with factory installed radios were the mono version or they came over with no radio. Anyone have an original early 914 or 914-6 that came with a factory installed stereo Blaupunkt or Becker?

Factory installed what ever you wanted to order from Blaupunkt, Becker or Grundig. Most dealers choose NOT to order cars with radios as another way to increase profit. Some dealers did order cars with pre-installed kits. The speakers and antenna's were installed at the factory and the dealer would install the head unit. MOST cars had Mono radios. Stereo radios did not come along until the 74 model year from Motorola. I do not know when the other European makers put out their Stereo radio.
The factory Emden radio was AM/FM/LW made by Blaupunkt or Grundig. It can be found listed on factory invoice. This radio was used across the entire VW line up. |
