RATHER than accept European radios, Holden engineers developed a new range of radios for Astra with AM and FM tuners upgraded and optimised for Australian reception. Though it goes without a CD player, the City three-door is fitted with a six-speaker Blaupunkt AM/FM radio-cassette with speed-dependent automatic volume control. Simple to use, the radio functions include electronic tune, seek and preset station scan, while the cassette has auto-reverse, program search and Dolby noise reduction. A multi-function display on the dash shows such information as the radio band, preset station number and frequency. A fixed aerial is positioned on the roof, just above the rear window.
