My wife has just bought a 1972 Beetle in 'as new' condition. One owner from new and garaged it's whole life this 35 year old car has done just
She'd like to get some music but as the interior is so perfect doesn't want to drill any holes so we're looking for some sort of mp3 player/dock/amp/speaker combo that could be sited under the front seat (say) (ideally with a remote control) with power coming from the cigarette lighter.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
NickNoxx gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying:
ANY suitable head unit, build an MDF (or similar) housing to fit under the seat, wire the power & earth in as appropriate. Isn't the battery in a Beetle under the back seat? Would be easiest to permawire to there, I think.
Check what voltage is available, weren't early '70s Beetle's still 6 Volt? Anyway, why bother, she won't be able to hear the music over the noise from the engine! :~P
Stick it in the glovebox.
Radios were common by '72 so why not find a period fitting kit?
