I used Aurora Design's conversion to AM, FM, MP3 (iPod), USB and Bluetooth 4 channel stereo on my 56 Dodge and have been happy: http://www.forwardlook.net/forums/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=66851&... Apparently there are cheaper add-on boxes out there (somewhere)(?) Can you tell the difference in appearance? Edited by 56D500boy 2019-08-17 6:21 PM | ||

Expert 5K+ Posts: 5006 | this is the add on for our cars. https://redirad.com/collections/all-products/products/redirad-for-am... You can swap your internal also fairly easily, and cost runs probably 100$ here is the "empty version" with blue tooths... http://www.makery.info/en/2016/01/08/transformer-une-radio-vintage-... Here is another simple solution... Some of these radio guys are like 600-800 for 50$ worth of hardware. http://www.forwardlook.net/forums/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=69141&... This guy sticks this radio in the glovebox, you could mount it behind the glove box, like a flap behind it to access later. Use the remote and or your phone. I like the remote idea. (there are 100 of these) https://www.walmart.com/ip/Dual-Electronics-XDM16BT-High-Resolution-... kind of elaborate version, out of sight. http://www.outofsightaudio.com/ | ||

Expert 5K+ Posts: 5006 | actually i like the "marine" guage radio in the glovebox. I can charge my phone from this also in the glovebox. You can hook a remote speaker for hands free on it also. It runs pandora etc. https://www.amazon.com/Planet-Audio-PGR35B-Compatible-Weather-Proof/... https://www.amazon.com/Aigoss-Bluetooth-Speakerphone-Receiver-Assist... | ||

Expert 5K+ Posts: 9654 Location: So. Cal | I really like the conversion that Denis does, but I don't want to have that LED display blocking the original radio face. Is it possible to mount the display remotely somewhere else? | ||

Expert 5K+ Posts: 9654 Location: So. Cal | I like that setup much better. Being able to turn off the display and make it look like a stock radio is really nice. | ||

Veteran Posts: 117 | Will this work if my radio isn't in working order? the previous owner put a radio in and it doesn't work but I'd rather not hide or put an ugly radio in. I have a 56 savoy | ||
