Small winter workshop on electronics ...
I'm trying to build myself an FM/MP3 radio using components bought here and there.

I'll let you know how it turns out.

good winter project this guy shows it but only converts to mono the 400-600$ conversion cost is pretty high. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMUA_DDWQrM

Well, I must say that I'm quite happy with the result.
My first venture in electronics, but it is mostly an assembly of bought products.

The front controls of the radio are active, they select source (Bluetooth, USB, FM), track and volume (though that's redundant).
FM tuner works but does not pickup a signal, I have yet to connect the antenna.
And the USB drive will be relocated afterwards so that I can plug it from under the dash, on the bottom plate of the radio

I have also to replace the small bulb inside the radio, which explains why there's no light up front (yet).

If I had the extra Cash I would get that done on the radio on my '61 fury but the now the radio that works is in the car and the 1 that does not work I will be using that for parts. I plan to get an FM converter or get a AM/FM CD player for mine , I have not decided on that part yet.

Do you have a parts list? Possibly a schematic?

Good job. I had my Electro-Touch Tuning (aka "Town and Country") converted to AM/FM/USB/BlueTooth/Aux using Aurora electronic components. The electro-touch station tuning pre-set buttons are active but only change channels. I change modes via the left volume button. It also does 4 channel with balance and front/back fade. But I had it done. You did yours on your own and it looks and sounds great. Congrats.
