Sounds like a nice little project. Is it going to require gutting the original radio? That seems to be one big thing that turns people away from any of the numerous AM/FM conversions.

Be nice if it could be done by adding some wires to appropriate points and bring those out to a plug. Build the mod in a separate enclosure and plugging it in would reroute the signals and disable the original circuitry. Unplug the module and radio would revert back so you were in stock operation.

ReadiRad is nice because it requires no mods. Believe it uses the antenna input but think it is only an input converter from line input to AM frequency and requires extra receivers for any of the things you are contemplating.
