Bluetooth radio build.
Its raining cold and nasty outside today so I am stuck inside I figured since I'm in i might as well work on a car project I can do indoors. So I started my bluetooth radio project. The goal is to have a functioning radio I can play music from my phone and my car still look 100 percent orginal. So I dug into it. I cut out all the wiring and old boards I left the tuning part so you can still turn the knob and the needle still moves. So it looks original but everything else is out. I bought a 14 dollar bluetooth board from Amazon. I'm gonna use the original plug to power it so it will plug in just like the orginal. I am gonna modify the the volume knob to work the controls on the bluetooth board. I have it taken apart. I have to shorten the shaft and drill out the end of the plastic part to fit the knob on the bluetooth board. Then I'm gonna epoxy the metal shaft that the knob goes on to the plastic part and it all should turn when its put back together. Here are the pics of what I have so far I will update it as I go.
