    912 radio replacement

    Hello, I have a 1969 912 coupe. The radio does not work, and I would
    like to replace it. I have a few problems. I do not know how to remove
    the radio unit from the dashboard. Once I get it off, the rest should
    be easy. Secondly, if I were to replace the radio, should I replace the
    amp and speaker as well? Finally, I'm not quite sure how the wiring
    between the audio system works. ANY HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED! Thanks
    in advance!

    You have to pull the knobs off the radio. There is a special tool, with
    two short prongs, a hole in the center and a hex head (spanner wrench)
    that is used to unscrew the two nuts that hold the radio in place. There
    may also be a screw in the back of the radio, attaching it to a
    suspended bracket.

    After those three items are removed, the radio will come out, but the
    electrical and antenna wiring will still be attached. The amp is an
    integral part of the radio; the speaker is in the top of the dash and
    may or may not need replacing.

    See a Blaupunkt shop, if you need further help.

    Is it a Becker or a Blau? If it is a Becker, and you want to keep the
    car "period correct", you may be interested that Becker still repairs older
    units and offers refurbs. Their website is at http://www.beckerautosound.com.

    Yeah, I'm sure it's a Blaupunkt. Also, if I buy two SMALL new speakers,
    would the amp in the radio head unit (the one i'm about to buy) be able
    to power them without an amp? I'm assuming that most radios nowadays
    have some amplification for my kind of situation. Otherwise, they come
    with pre-amp outputs for connecting an amplifier. Amps are usually just
    needed for complex speaker systems with subwoofers and more than 2
    speakers though; so I think I could get away with using the amp that's
    built into the head unit to power the two small speakers. I'll have to
    replace the speaker because in 1969, only mono sound was out. Now with
    stereo, I need two speakers. Thanks again in advance!

    Next question: Where do you intend to install the speakers? BTW,
    Blaupunkts in 356 Porsches had two speakers -- the wiring installation
    instructions told you hoe to do it.

    There is a space in the dashboard for the speaker. It is right above
    the radio head unit. I am SURE that there is only one speaker.
