Harman Becker supply automotive systems to manufacturers like Audi, BMW, Mercedes Benz and Porsche.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am not sure if fitting a center section of the Beosound Century would be a good idea in terms of ease of use. Also the materials of the Beosound and Audi dashboard probably wouldn&amp;#39;t match. The automotive systems tend to be factory fitted and the market for retro fitted&amp;nbsp;single-DIN slot radios is probably declining anyway.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Automotive head units</title><link>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/78769.aspx</link><pubDate>Sun, 13 Jan 2008 05:01:11 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:78769</guid><dc:creator>Chrisreunion</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/78769.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&amp;PostID=78769</wfw:commentRss><description>The only head unit designed by B&amp;amp;O was a prototype that never came into production...&lt;img src="http://forum.beoworld.org/emoticons/06.gif" alt="Sad" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Automotive head units</title><link>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/78720.aspx</link><pubDate>Sat, 12 Jan 2008 19:02:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:78720</guid><dc:creator>spthomas</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/78720.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&amp;PostID=78720</wfw:commentRss><description>In the Audi cars, even if it has B&amp;amp;O speakers, the control head units are still the same right? Who makes these? It&amp;nbsp;doesn&amp;#39;t&amp;nbsp;appear to be B&amp;amp;O. I always thought the center section of the Beosound Century would be nice to have in the car- it&amp;#39;s about the right height for the single-DIN slot size.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
