Blaupunkt Bremen SQR46 Retro Single DIN DAB+ Bluetooth Media Receiver
The Blaupunkt Bremen SQR46 is a single DIN car radio styled after the original 1986 Bremen SQR 46, combining retro aesthetics with modern audio technology. It features a built-in DAB+ tuner, FM/AM with RDS, Bluetooth with Twin-Connect, dual USB inputs, an SDHC slot, 4 x 50W max output, a 4-channel 4V preamp output, RGB Variocolor illumination, and a short mounting depth for vehicles with shallow installation shafts.
Product overview
The Blaupunkt Bremen SQR46 is a reinterpretation of the 1986 Blaupunkt Bremen SQR 46, retaining the styling of the original single DIN car radio while adding modern connectivity and digital radio capabilities. The front panel design mirrors the original model's layout, with RGB Variocolor button and display illumination replacing the fixed colours of the 1986 version.
Reception is handled by the High-End CODEM IV World-Tuner for FM with RDS and AM, alongside a built-in DAB+ tuner for digital radio access. Bluetooth with HFP, PBAP, A2DP, SPP, and AVRCP profiles supports hands-free calling, phonebook access, and wireless audio streaming. The Twin-Connect feature allows two Bluetooth devices to be connected simultaneously. Navigation audio mix allows turn-by-turn directions from a connected navigation device to blend over the audio output.
Media playback is handled via front USB, rear USB, or front SDHC slot supporting cards up to 32GB, with MP3 and WMA audio format support. A 3-band semi-parametric equaliser with sound presets, X-Bass, and a separate subwoofer output round out the audio control options. The short mounting depth makes the unit suitable for vehicles with shortened installation shafts where a standard depth single DIN unit would not fit. Permanent memory retains all settings even when the vehicle battery is disconnected.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Blaupunkt Bremen SQR46 support DAB+ digital radio out of the box?
Yes. The Bremen SQR46 has a built-in DAB+ tuner and includes a DAB+ windshield antenna in the box, so no additional hardware is required for digital radio reception.
What is Twin-Connect and how does it work?
Twin-Connect allows two Bluetooth devices to be paired and active simultaneously. This means a driver and passenger can both have their phones connected, with either device able to receive calls or stream audio without needing to disconnect and reconnect.
Will the Bremen SQR46 fit in a vehicle with a shallow installation shaft?
The Bremen SQR46 features a short mounting depth, making it suitable for vehicles with shortened installation shafts where a standard depth single DIN receiver would not fit. Contact us to confirm fitment for your specific vehicle before purchasing.
Does the Bremen SQR46 retain settings after the battery is disconnected?
Yes. The permanent memory function retains all user settings even when the vehicle battery is disconnected, so the unit does not need to be reconfigured after a battery change or disconnection.
Is a steering wheel control adaptor included with the Bremen SQR46?
No. The Bremen SQR46 includes a programmable steering wheel control input but the SWC adaptor is not included. A compatible aftermarket SWC interface is required for steering wheel control integration. Contact us for guidance on compatible SWC adaptors for your vehicle.
