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. |

Years ago people used to butcher the glove box and install bandit radios, eight track players, cb radios, cassette players, equalizers, amps, and I have even seen a short wave radio installed there!!
These days with the modern radios that do everything perfectly on one small DIN sized package, there is no reason to use the glove box except for the owners manual packet and gloves. Panasonic for one (as well as Porsche ) has recently made some retro looking radios that fit perfectly, look tasteful and do everything that one would want them to do. ALSO the restored original Blaupunkt Frankfurt radios come with an ipod connector that will let you do bluetooth or plug in your phone QUOTE(911GT2 @ Feb 17 2020, 01:12 PM)  In bugs you see it all the time, but I couldn't find any info on this over here.
