Hi everyone.
So thanks for everyone with their feedback on whether a PCCM or a Retro radio with BT would be the way to go in my 914. Clearly the PCCM is way too expensive and being in Canada getting one of those Retro Radios that maintain the period look are still very expensive. So I recall someone saying they installed a small BT amp which is the direction I went towards. I am able to use my radio and pipe music through Bluetooth to my car speakers (OEM). I will never use the radio because there is a lot of static on any FM channels so I wanted to get music playing from my phone. Hope this helps others that maybe looking to do something similar. I purchased these 2 items: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B074FR4B7H...=UTF8&psc=1 and https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B071YH69GJ...=UTF8&psc=1 which powers the amp. Mounted the amp behind the radio with double sided tape and voila - beautiful sound from my phone. For $35CDN it's very cost effective. |

Cool solution!
We wanted to use BT but also the radio, so for each of our Blapunk’s a fellow name Matthias from Oldtimer-radio builds them. They use high quality parts and connects to the back DIN. With shipping from Germany these are about $110 USD, but click in the back of the stereo, connect BT, and go. No AMP though! Related discussion. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...w=&st=& |
