Bluetooth radio only

[Flanders 47]

happy I can actually access the site today.  I've searched and seen various topics on the matter, but wondering any long-term reports or suggestions on car radio's.

I have very little interest in an actual am/fm radio in my mustang.  The exhaust is too loud :D and I really don't mind cruising with engine noise only, it's part of the appeal!  However, I have another classic (Fairlane) which is much quieter but has no stereo whatsoever.  I'm looking at adding speakers and turning them into a big "bluetooth speaker" so it would only work with a phone.

 

Anyone have experience with a product like the Velex VX508?  It was recommended by some folks with UTV's.  Basically you pair your phone with it, and it provides an amp so you can hook some car speakers up to it.  I don't want a regular am/fm radio, I just want the ability to get my spotify (or whatever) on my phone going right to my car's speakers.  Seems to be a lot of junk products on amazon, so was hoping for recommendation.

I haven't used this personally yet, but am considering it. It has pretty positive reviews around the interwebs.

There are also some dedicated bluetooth amps that can do it as well. I found the Out of Sight interesting because it's small and offers flexibility.

If you want to use the original radio and upgrade it to todays wiz-bang stuff (you can even give it voice commands), you may want to try this: https://www.tech-retro.com/aurora-design/home.html

I have something like that.  Crutchfield does not have this model anymore but they have some others.  I hid it inside my dash above the old AM radio.  The AM Radio is just a prop.

I like the way it works.
