For me, the epitome of audio design and engineering for German cars was when Blaupunkt came out with the Berlin that was mounted on a gooseneck. They even came out with a matching gooseneck equalizer for it. The idea behind it was that when you are doing triple digit speeds on the autobahn, you wouldn’t want to look down and fiddle with your radio. So, to help prevent the problem, they mounted the radio controls on a gooseneck that would make them at close to eye level. The Berlin gooseneck radio was such a hit that you would see them installed in most if not all exotic cars of the day.
