Android Auto

Post by gucu »

Hi All

I am a lover of music and want to fit an Android Auto unit along with speakers etc. Can I do this please? Do I need to upgrade wiring etc. Why help is much appreciated.

Thanks

Why not purchase a portable Bluetooth speaker, you can then play music from your phone, and remove from the car for safekeeping .

I did do that but was unhappy with the quality and being able to answer the phone, navigate etc it's useful.

Nice car by the way.

Have a chat with Mike Oldsworth

michaeloldsworth@yahoo.com / 07850 468476

I can't remember his website but he is very active on Facebook

I have no connection with him, but am very happy with the work he's done for me,

He can supply or modify your own period correct radio to be DAB, Bluetooth and hands free,

Yes you will still need to install a radio if you don't have one and you will need speakers installing, none of which is particularly challenging, but what you get is everything you need in a period correct style,

There are of course "retro" style radios available new, everywhere from Ebay / Amazon to multiple online retailers, they don't look great in my opinion with their digital displays and I've seen a few people saying the quality is questionable,

There are also other people offering to convert old radios cheaper than Mike Oldsworth, (look on eBay) but you do get what you pay for, or sometimes you don't get what you've paid for..........
