Blaupunkt is now shipping the Melbourne SD27, an attractively-priced car radio that skips the CD player altogether in favor an SD/MMC card slot to accommodate the digital-savvy customer who wants to eliminate discs from their music diet. In addition to the SD/MMC card-slot, the radio’s sleek front-panel features a convenient plug and play input for portable audio players as well as controls for the built-in 25-preset AM/FM radio. Finally, the Melbourne is designed for use with Blaupunkt’s optional iPod and Bluetooth/USB interface modules to integrate with cell phones, portable players and MP3 storage devices.
