Modern radio in glovebox, Has anyone done it before? Options

[911GT2]

In bugs you see it all the time, but I couldn't find any info on this over here. A modern radio hidden in the glovebox.

I like the look of the factory radio. But I also like to be able to make phone calls or stream some music now end then (besides the music from the engine) en have Waze guide me while driving.

So I would like to put a modern radio with BT in the glovebox.

Has anybody done this before? I tried some searches over here but couldn't find anything. Any pics or wiring info would be appreciated.

It's quite a reach, and there's little reason for a DIN head unit these days—what with Waze, Pandora, music libraries on smartphones, etc.

Several years ago, I ditched my head unit entirely and added a factory defroster switch to my dash to arm/disarm my amp. I plugged my phone into a cable that went to a Pyle EQ in the glovebox and then controlled volume via the phone—which worked well once the EQ's volume was in the right range. My next setup will have a Bluetooth receiver for audio (and possibly but probably not phone). Don't know if I'll do a wired hookup, as the connectors keep changing and it's a PITA unless you embrace the dongle. We'll see.

A friend has done something slicker still, converting his 912's cigarette lighter cap into a knob on a 5-function controller for his Bluetooth setup, and I think it even turns volume up and down.

It is really nice to not have to reach across the interior to adjust the volume or change the song...even the stock radio location is less than optimal in this regard—one of those moments when you realize just how wide a 914 is, and how spacious.
