Could be. They are both German and Bosch is a big company.

so is Bosch.
yes Bosch owns Blaupunkt. Bosch is sort of like Sylvania or BASF. The large corp owns a lot of other branches and companies in numerous fields of electronics for industry and consumer uses.
Same Bosch who makes spark plugs.

I got a Bosch starter battery under the hood. But I will be switching to a Delphi after the summer to make up for some lost cca.

Wow, didn't know Bosch had such a bad reputation. I always thought they were a "high-end" car part company, lol.
