Blaupunkt Bahamas MP34 query

[nishantgandhi]

Hi all,

I have a Blaupunkt Bahamas MP34 headunit. The specification sheet of this says:

Amplifier
4 x 18 W RMS power
4 x 45 W Max. power

Aren't these two implying the same thing i.e. maximum sound output of the HU?

Auxiliary input - There is no AUX input in the front (on the faceplate). So how can I attach a USB pen drive or iPod using the AUX input? What cable/adapter would I need?

4-channel Preamp-Out (2 V) - What does this mean?

Telephone auto-muting - How do I use this function?

Codem® III+ tuner - What is this function?

Also, Can I get a steering remote control for this model? If yes, does anyone know what is the model/part no and price for the same?

Thanks a lot in advance!

No. RMS is the figure you should look at. The other is PMPO / Max power which means that you can get that kind of power in spurts.

If it's not in the front it will be in the rear. Your installer should have given you a cable for it. If not, ask him for it. You can't attach a USB pen drive to Aux-In.

Does your HU have bluetooth? If so, it means that the music will mute when you pickup a call form your HU through bluetooth. If it doesn't have BT, then there would be a button that mutes the music.

Hi,
The Aux-in is at the back.You need to buy a blau aux-in adapter(that damn thing costs around 600Rs) and then you can connect your other source of music.For using iPod I guess you can use a stereo pin at the earphone out of the iPod and then connect the other end to the Aux-in adapter but there'll be some DIY you need to do.
That 4 channel pre-amp output means you have 2 pre-amplified left and right channel which can used as input to an external amplifier.
There is one Blaupunkt steering mount remote which is called RC-10.It's approx 1800Rs I think.
Regards,
Kaushik
