I've been dreaming of a time in the future when my stock through and through car might actually be on the road again and thinking about radios. I'll definitely want one with Bluetooth capabilities for streaming and hands free phone. It's nice that we have interesting choices with either a period correct Blaupunkt or Becker with DIN inputs for adding a Bluetooth module, or modern Bluetooth ready radios with retro Blaupunkt or Becker styling. I've been following ebay prices for Blaupunkt Frankfurt stereos and it looks like the cost of vintage vs. retro options are about the same. The biggest plus for retro seems to be a digital display to show what's playing etc which is nice, and probably a better tuner. Advantage of vintage, of course, is that it's the real deal. I thought it might be fun to see what other's experiences have been or what they would prefer.
Oh, I know someone will say it, so yes, a nice six behind the firewall sounds cool, but it's not a radio. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) |

Bluetooth makes everything so easy to connect. |
