Factory look modern amenities most affordable option?
Truck came with a factory AM radio. Doesn't currently work. I would like to have a unit that looks original but has ability for FM and bluetooth where I can pair my phone to it and have whatever is playing projected through the speaker(s). I don't really want to spend $800+ as I won't drive the vehicle enough to justify that cost. What would be my best option?
Truck originally came with a single dash speaker located in the middle of the dash above the radio. What is the best way to get the best sound without cutting it up? |

Re: Factory look modern amenities most affordable option?
Your best option on a low budget and for occasional use is leave the AM radio and its speaker right where it is in the dash and get a nice portable Bluetooth speaker to attach under the dash or sit on the hump or stuff slightly under the seat. Bose Revolve series speaker fits in a large cupholder and has room-filling sound. Other people have used JBL speakers and other brands.
I bought a non-working AM radio for mine and got it working with some sprays of Deoxit D5, and plan to repair my cut-up dash and get the radio going with a reproduction AM radio speaker, so everything will be working as original, and I have a completely independent blasting stereo under the seat I use with bluetooth. |
