The Bowman radio that came in my car is not working, I’d like to have it repaired and possibly add a Bluetooth receiver.
Does anyone on 914 World do this or can you recommend someone? Thanks! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

Bowman was the cheap cheap aftermarket radio many dealers installed as an option in new customer deliveries to make an extra hundred by offering an am fm or am fm stereo. They are very very period correct but so cheaply made that if they do not work they are not worth repairing unless your labor is free. Best to install a period correct blaupunkt frankfurt and have a high quality period correct radio that works great. You can also get it with the blue tooth connector

I had a new Blaupunkt factory installed (?) in my new Scirocco. It was a POS (not the car). I remember parking about a mile away from a radio transmitter tower & not being able to pick up jack shit. Too much FM multi-path IIRC. The new Sony system was far superior (deck, power amp, & ADS speakers). I can't remember what I did with the POS. I should have taken it back to the dealership for a refund. BTW, you need lots of power when the top is off & your doing 75 mph (100 W rms per side with JBLs).
