 Your ideas on if you think this radio would be a good choice, Will it fit? I think it's from '76-77 but it looks about the same period. |

I have done a lot of looking but can't seem to find which radio was stock and which was optional in 914's. I have a '73 and found the following Blaupunkt in great condition WITH the cassette player still working. Yes, I still play cassettes. Does anyone know if this radio
(Blaupunkt CR-4096) will fit my '73 914? I'm thinking it would at least still look period for that time and I could play cassettes. Any ideas? Thanks!  |

That looks like the correct vintage. I am trying to recall the radio in my '73 2.0 I bought brand new in '74. That looks almost like it I think. The price looks OK in the eBay ad.

Correct, no. Now with that said you can put what ever you want as 90 per cent of all radios were dealer installed. You could have had anything from AM Mono , 8 track, AM FM Stereo. Only cassette factory style radio was the Becker Mexico. It was a 2 pieces with a head unit and power amp.

That Blaupunkt was called the Combo II and it came to market around 1976 so it could have been dealer installed in some of the last 914s. I bought one of these then and it was rather expensive at $350.00! The price of electronics back then was compared high.

I have that one in my 73. Looks and sounds good plus great reception but not original to the car. It might be one put in a 73 from the dealer if it was on the lot for a long time. I think they were a dealer option in about 75. This site shows them as an option in 73. https://bowlsby.net/914/Classic/Accessories.htm
