Hmmm, the Casablanca is supposed to be a good one I thought. Did you ever try having it serviced? You shouldn't have to go through that, but they might be able to help.
You didn't happen to buy the unit on ebay, did you? Blaupunkt used to have a warning up on their web page about counterfit head units being sold on ebay and cheap internet stores. They said that the units were not actually manufactured by one of Blaupunkt facilities. The Blau service centers were getting a bunch of these things in with problems, and would refuse to repair them because they were fakes. Who would have thought someone would make counterfit electronics...
