This is a radio for a 69 911. My question is what is the small green hole. Also the connector under the clear plug? Is it to connect a 8 track, cassette, or a amp?

What you actually have there is a late 1971 to 1973 Blaupunkt Frankfurt . Had it been an early 71 or earlier the numbers would have counted down from left to right.

I think the green colored plug hole is for an automatic antenna.

Thanks guys. I'm still wondering what could plug in under the clear plastic cover. I get the antenna and power under the speaker wires.

It is a DIN plug and could be used for all 3 options above, also you can buy an adapter to plug in an Ipod.

Isn't that true for Euro Frankfurts?
Frankfurt US radios all should read like Chris's, I think.

The American versions also went down from left to right.

Mike is correct it is a switched positive 12v out. It is not designed to take a plug though, If you look on the bottom of the radio there is a hole, if you look in the hole you will see a set screw, just loosen the screw put your wire through the green covered hole and tighten set screw.

Thanks for the input, I didn't know about the set screw.
