Talking with Ross the other weekend we were discussing the viability / point of restoring old car radios. The obvious problem is that there are very few AM stations anymore unless you live in the city. Even most people don't listen to FM anymore, so not much point to FM conversions either.

One suggestion is to mount a self-contained BT speaker behind the dash. Maybe the easiest way would be to attach it to the defroster duct with pipe-hanging strap + small sheetmetal screws + foam or tape to eliminate rattles. If you can't find a 12V unit, you could use a USB unit plugged into a 12V adapter wired to the ACC terminal.

Or wire it directly to the radio knob if you're comfortable messing with that.

Just an idea of course
