AM radio to Bluetooth.. or other ideas.

Why would you need an X this actual reply is more valuable gives the OP a reason why to base his decision on instead of an X. I've never used this product, just seemed like it might fit the bill.

The red x would be for the product as I described, not for you. I’m sure if you had one you wouldn’t have vouched for it. Also, I wouldn’t have just dropped the red X and not given my reply and experience. I think that is how the red x was abused or over used.
As for the product, there are several on here that have used it and feel the same as I do.

I was going to do this, and it's ridiculously easy to do so....but most new phones don't have 1/8" jacks any more and I haven't seen the equivalent of this for a USB cable.

But, once you've got the jack installed you can plug a bluetooth receiver into it and port your music from your phone.

Avoid at all costs! Wish there was a X. I regret going with RetroSound! Stick with an OEM radio and convert it. I would rather have a non-functioning stock radio and getting a bluetooth speaker. RetroSound is cheap crap. Hard to use in every way, ugly, cheap looking, cheaply made, ugghh!

I second this. Mince was a POS to install and yeah, left a lot to be desired. Looking to a new direction.

I had mine done by Mr Heaterbox. They use Aurora Design hardware to replace the guts of your stock unit. It looks original but has a ton of features that are modular so you can only add the components you want. AM/FM tuner, AUX input, Bluetooth for music playback and even taking calls, USB stick support for music and phone charging, HD Radio. It has 4 speaker outputs and sub pre-amp outs. Really is a nice setup. I found an AM/FM for my 72 and sent it to them. The AM/FM knob changes bands, tone knob works. Push buttons work. I installed the AUX input, call answer/end button and USB in the blank area beside the cigarette lighter

A little late to the party here, but what did they charge you for this conversion?

It was around $800 Canadian. Expensive but to me worth it. It is an original radio in appearance and all the modern features.
