7" Double 2 DIN MP3 GPS Sat Nav Bluetooth
« on: May 19, 2017, 15:05:57 »
Hi Guys.
I know those of you who cherish the authentic detail of our Pagodas will snuff at what I'm about to highlight. OK, a Becker, is a Becker, is a Becker - but it is 2017 and the issue of technology in cars today is skyrocketing!
All the more reason for keeping everything just as it is/was - I hear you Puritans clammier - but if your like me and use Bluetooth products you may have a plate rather than a radio in your dash? If so, we're a minority, but hang on in there.
I used a JBL wireless speaker with my MP3 and phone, so just wondering if any of you have come across Bluetooth SatNav systems - or better still where they might be housed in the car???

Hi John,

If you are already using the bluetooth to link your phone, then if you use the sat nav on your phone, it should also link to the bluetooth speakers, just a matter of the navigator holding the phone, or finding a suitalbe temporary place for it.

I use a Retrosound Radio, which gives all the new tech benefits, USB, Bluetooth.... in a standard retro look radio, but some here do not like my solution

I use the pinstripe one withchrome buttons and Pagoda style knobs !

Have fun

NB Have you made any progress on a centre armrest ?

Hi John

This is what I'd be getting if you wanted a balance between keeping the "old" look but having modern tech features (sat nav etc) as well

On my list when I save up a few pesos

so what has everyone done re speakers?  I have these awful sounding ones that came with the car and play the sound as it likley was in 1971-  Is there a bluetooth speaker alone that can be wired into the electrical system and hidden perhaps under the dash
