A recent survey conducted at the C&C's (Cycle & Carriage) showroom has shown that up to 74% of car buyers now know of DAB. With such a positive response from the market, Blaupunkt is all set to launch the Woodstock DAB 53.

The "Digital Recorder", as the DAB 53 is also known, is another innovation by Blaupunkt. At the touch of a button, it is now possible to record and play back digital radio programs on a Multimedia Card (MMC). This impressive new feature allows the driver to record Digital Radio programs while driving, and play them back again. In addition, the multimedia card and the integrated CD audio/MP3 drive make it possible to play music in the MP3 format, thus providing up to twelve hours of listening enjoyment from just a single CD-ROM.

The DAB 53 will be making its appearance in Singapore in the 4th quarter of 2003. Recommended retail price for the Woodstock DAB 53 has yet to be finalized. However do stay tuned for the latest updates! For more info on the Woodstock DAB53, contact Bosch at blaupunkt@sg.bosch.com
