One company that has really come of age and redefined itself is Blaupunkt, who not very long ago many of us used to ridicule as a prototype stereo manufacturer. It is therefore heart rendering when you find the company has not only taken the biased and sometimes prejudicial attitude of the public in stride, but has come up triumphant what with its own series of high-quality digital media receivers. In fact, in recent times it is going toe to toe with all the biggies and thereby making a strong statement of intent. Its latest offer to the customers is none other than another one of its innovative and high on demand unit, the Blaupunkt Brisbane SD48.

The unit has a misleading design and replicates a traditional DIN head unit, but is more close to the Alpine iDA-X001 as far as specifications are concerned. The most intriguing and important feature of the unit is its SD card playback capability. You will feel at home with the Blaupunkt Brisbane SD48 as you can get things moving by simply selecting a “SD Card” from the source menu, and the tracks start playing automatically! Then, the Brisbane is also have an amazing storage capability and accommodates up to 127 music directories, apart from displaying ID3 tag information up to 30 characters in length.

One complaint however, against the unit is that apart from navigating folders and files by using the up/down and left/right arrows, there are no other ways of easily browsing for tracks by name. The connotation that emanates is that you have to endure the misfortune of skipping through long lists before you finally get to listen to your favorite track.
