Fantastic idea !!! the only thing I would add is a light that illuminates the scale (controlled by the lighting of the car).

I have a 75 Triumph Spitfire and it didn't come with a radio. So I am going to get one of these and mount it threw the cigarette lighter and use the part that pops out as the on/off and volume. Need to make more content its been 2 months!! I just subbed and got you to 100!

Thank you, that's a very good idea. As in another comment mentioned scale alumination would be fine. Another issue: Wiring only the left or right channel - you only hear the half signal. You could improve the whole thing if you use a mono bluetooth modul. There's one to be found in the bay which has some functions in the potentiometer/switch like on/off, next song, play/pause... It's called ZK-1001B Mono 100W Bluetooth. It even has a USB port. Cheers from Bavaria Germany

If the amp is Bridgeable, Speaker left negative then right positive, doubles the watts and you get both channels out of the one speaker

Brilliant. I have been looking at using a similar board but was just going to stick it under the dash. Might re consider now.. Shame you never let us see and hear it working off your phone or something.. GN

Question, given the blue tooth unit is encased in an old FM radio box made of metal does that affect the bluetooth signal? Is there anything you need to do to get BT signal to work ok?

Some of these units are mentioning that 12v power supply as opposed to 24v reduces the efficiency. Is 12v enough?

Cool project. Question: The makers of those Bluetooth units say they will distort with less than 5 amps of power. Should the fuse rating not be a little higher than 3 amps? Like maybe 6 or 7 amp to accommodate tolerance?
