Can it be done? Just about every aftermarket solution out there looks terrible and completely out of place. I was looking at a Kienzle MCR-1016BT but I'm still not completely sold on it.

 

Don't you like this option?:
bluetooth cassette adapter:

 

What about some of the radios out of the newer Toyota vehicles.

Maybe even Lexus ??

 

I actually had one of those but it had terrible sound quality.


I think the problem with that is Toyota switched away from having a standard DIN unit in anything that is new enough to have Bluetooth.

I *am* looking seriously at one of these, though:

 

Why not just cut the face off a stock stereo and use it as a flip down cover over a new style stereo w/ Bluetooth? Add a remote sensor so you can use the remote and not remove the mock cover.

 

I don't think I could pull that off successfully.

 

Not stock looking at all. Still an issue?

 

Why not go for the stock radio and then get a bluetooth radio transmitter that plugs into your cigarette lighter. Phone bluetooth to transmitter. Transmitter broadcasts FM to your radio.

I feel you pain!!

I was hunting in case my Faithful 8 Track Player dies .

I have no idea what all these different things are or what they do.

That I would ever even use.

 

If you can wire it up you might try getting something like this. $81 on ebay.

 

sweet, that radio is from a 2012-2-13 Yaris.....
