Radio Options
I'm looking for options and opinions for a head unit that doesn't require cutting up my dashboard. Previous owner cut holes in the doors for 6x9s so I will use those for speakers. I'm looking for something that will ideally use Bluetooth and USB.
Here is a pic of the dash for reference: |

Re: Radio Options
I had a guy take my stock radio and modify it so that I had AM and FM and a wire that would plug into my I-pod to work
yet it still looks exactly stock he said he could also add blue tooth and some extra for better sound , but I just kept it simple , I'm old school technology I guess you could see if anybody in your area does that modification or any body else on the board might know some one anybody ......... |

Re: Radio Options
Search Gary Tayman. He converts am radios to am/fm with optional Bluetooth, iPod jack and bass input/output. I had a custom autosound and I wasn't super happy with it, but with this new Gary Tayman one I have no complaint

Re: Radio Options
I may just put the AM radio I bought here from a member in mine, although the dash has been cut up. Whether I install it or not, I'm going to continue to use this bluetooth receiver. Pretty easy to modify a cig lighter/usb adapter so that it gets the power it needs with key on, then connect the rca out to your amp. Just remember, most amps need a 12v signal from a stereo head to come on so you'll need to connect that line (usually blue) to a 12v switched as well.
I've tested a few of these and like anything, the real cheap ones are crap and beep a lot... this one is still inexpensive ($29.) but it works great for what I need. And it's about the size of a pocket watch, so easily hidden under dash or in ashtray.
