Neat little toy

Recently I ran across this while looking into Bluetooth sound devices.
I figured not much to lose for around 30 bucks shipped.
A guy I know would like to have music other than just the factory AM radio in his all original 1965 GTO without modifying anything in the car.

It has about the same output power as a run of the mill in dash unit, but easily fits in most any glove box being about 3.5 deep and 5 inches wide.

Comes with a remote that I tested at 30 feet or so.
FM stereo (signal better than my in dash)
Bluetooth to Phones.
USB port input and charger.
SD card port.
Along with an auxiliary input.
(No other stereo needed)

Obviously not some miracle device, but great for stealth installs.
We’ll put 2-6x9 boxes in the rear floor than can be unplugged and stored in the trunk.

Did the remote have to be pointed directly at the unit? Or could it work while it was hidden away?
