Out of sight Audio unit., Anyone have any experience with these? Options

I'm going to put this one into my 75, I just received the radio delete plate from 914rubber and will be ordering one of these next.:

It's a complete hands free phone hook up and Bluetooth setup, with no need to have a radio. I am planning on just using my phone, since I am a 100% SiriusXM listener, when I'm not listening to Amazon music.
Period correct radios are just way to expensive and don't usually have Bluetooth integrated with them and reproduction radios have digital displays that I don't want in the car.
Wanted to get some opinions from the group.

I don't use that exact unit but I have a bluetooth setup to my amps and use my phone as well. Works great. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

That looks like a nice unit, particularly if you want to make calls. Never used one though.

A buddy has one of these Bluetooth amplifier adapters from Soundstream. It seems to work pretty good too,

I have this thing in my car. Actually works really well for $18.99. I use it so I can hear the google maps voice, audible, and for phone calls. Radio sounds fine but I prefer listening to vroom vroom sounds while driving the 914.
Nice thing is the most common complaint is the LED is so dim you can't see it. Just what I wanted.

I sit my bose speaker on the pass floor and use my phone, great sound and can move from car to car

I put a cheapo 100 watt amp on the upper right hand side of my console, velcro mounted on the inside. I also found the very cool power switch at Summit racing: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/PCO-5585PT.
But the way I positioned the amp I can reach the hidden volume control and just use my phone to control 'Classic Vinyl'!
Speakers ar in 914 Rubber repop boxes.
Works great and invisible.

That's overkill and quite pricey. You will never use handsfree calling in a 914.

All you need is something like this Pyle Amplified Wireless Bluetooth Audio Controller $60

Or get a separate BT to RCA receiver SONRU and whatever amp meets your needs. $20

I do this too with an Anker sound bar, but i've gotten a little weary of the thing flying around the cockpit whenever I have any fun, so I've been looking at similar units.

Another thing I've been thinking of is just some velcro or some simple mount for my sound bar.

I went old school with this. I hid the main box in the center console and put the control box in the arm rest. It connects to my phone via usb, but works without it.

I use the same unit that I use in the shower. Lalala la

I am going to give this one a try. I don't mind the small LED display as the car is a 3. conversion and not completely stock interior either. Pretty economical as well and will mount well with other round gauges in the center console.

I kept my Blaupunkt Frankfurt in the dash for aesthetics but have this little sucker (Amazon $30) hidden under my dash so that I can stream from my phone It puts out plenty of power to the 7.5” speakers in the 914 Rubber pods. Sounds terrific.

Good idea, I was thinking of mounting my Becker Europa in the dash and something else in the top of the deposit box for other tunes.

Question: can you run speaker wires from each to the speakers? Use the Europa for radio and the other streaming tunes?

[barefoot]

I installed a JVC bluetooth radio in the standard dash location with mic located next to speedo under dash hood. Not hands free but i listen to my Spotify music from phone.
no other equipment used.

Not sure. I never used my radio so I didn't consider doing this. I would think you should be able to do that. You would just want to make sure you didn't do both at the same time to prevent possible damage to the speakers.

I have a vintage Blaupunkt stereo and a $100.00 Blue tooth
