Blaupunkt manufactures a variety of car audio components, including aftermarket car stereo head units. Car owners who wish to replace or repair their stereo decks, or add aftermarket external components, will need to remove the head unit to access the stereo and antenna connections to the rear panel of the stereo. You can have a professional remove the deck for a fee, or you can do the job yourself to save time and money.
