Blaupunkt CR-3001
Not much is documented about the Blaupunkt CR-3001. The only trace of it in the archival record is a few period references from the early 1980s, and even those are fragmentary.
The same entry notes a second configuration at $170 and a $900 variant. The $900 unit measures 2″ high × 7″ wide × 5″ deep, with DIN output jacks and an optional high-power fader. A full-page advertisement in High Fidelity (November 1981, p.84) pushed Blaupunkt car stereo with the tagline “Some day, most drivers will enjoy car stereo of this sophistication. But for now, only Blaupunkt owners do”. The campaign appears to have covered multiple models in the CR line at the same time.
Whether the CR-3001 was a specific trim, a regional variant, or a short production run is not recorded in surviving sources. No service literature, factory specs, or measured performance data have been located.
