Installation was completed earlier today for a technology solution to have an original looking car with all the conveniences of today's technology.
Thanks to the the help of some 914 World members, I was able to put together a great solution 1-Magnetic phone mount set up in the ashtray location of the dash (Evan0) 2-Original OEM radio purchased from (MikeFitton) was installed for a classic look 3-Kenwood KMR-M3118BT Bluetooth Marine radio installed discreetly under passenger side dash (not visible) 4-Detachable face for anti-theft 5-Radio Head Unit controllable via optional remote control or I-phone app 6-microphone set up on the dash just above the ignition key cylinder for hands free Bluetooth phone operation 7-USB cable wired behind the dash into the Aux input for phone charging without use of the lighter plug as phone is ALWAYS drawing power for GPS use driving in LA 8-Opted for I-pod audio playback via Bluetooth as the phone is using WAZE App for GPS and to notify of Police, etc...

Nice setup!
Can you also listen to AM/FM via the original radio? |

QUOTE(Montreal914 @ Jun 7 2017, 07:35 AM)  Nice setup! Can you also listen to AM/FM via the original radio? Unfortunately not. Was thinking about it, but did not want to further complicate things. Not even sure how to do that with a single pair of speakers up front. I lived up in Montreal (Saint Laurent) for 31 years. Are you from there?

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/assimilate.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) That's awesome. I'm coming up on 18 years out here so we are practically the same age. My dad had a 914 and I have always wanted one and just picked one up in April. It's also a '73. As for Beetles, this one is my 914's stablemate. This car was purchased in June of 1987 in Montreal from a guy that lived on Prince Arthur at the corner of Blvd. St. Laurent. It's originally a California car that I brought back when I moved out here in 1999 and I have had it since I was 19. PM me if you would like to go driving one day. I'm out in Sherman Oaks.   |
