Since using some burner software can  
lead to inconsistencies in the way items

ternal amplifiers. You can also connect  
a subwoofer to the device’s integrated  
low-pass filter. In order for this to work,  
the amplifier and subwoofer must be  
connected in the manner described in  
the installation instructions. We recom-  
mend you use well-matched products  
from the Blaupunkt or Velocity product  
ranges.  
Traffic reports are broadcast digitally  
using TMC, which means they can be  
used by compatible navigation systems  
during route planning. Your car sound  
system has a TMC output, which you  
can use for connecting Blaupunkt nav-  
igation systems. You can find out from  
your Blaupunkt dealer which naviga-  
tion systems can be used with your car  
sound system.
