Any suggestions for a bluetooth car radio have looked at sony and pioneer £100-150?

I fancy one of these for my 968:

Looks plain & simple, no gimmicky flashing lights & well suited to the Porsche dashboard, I have a similar one fitted to my daily driver (lorry) and it works great for the money. Other models are available with CD player too.

I have a Sony with CD, bluetooth and satellite ready (my 944S2 came from Japan so it had a Sony in it already). I haven't actually used the bluetooth yet but a good thing about the Sony is the simple connector that lines up pretty well with the standard 4 speaker wiring so minimal fiddling required to add a Sony plug to the harness (the original Blaupunkt plug doesn't fit). They are quite inexpensive but, unlike the one above, it is flashy in red or blue and general scrolling BS display but it does work well with an Ipod when you're crossing the mountains and can't get a signal.

Had a Pioneer radio/CD in the Lux. Bluetooth with remote mic included, USB and Aux inputs. Wasn't to flashy and lit up orange, which complimented the 944 instruments. Worked well, straightforward to use and good value at about £100 from Halfrauds

Mech less alpine £65 with Bluetooth

Another vote for Alpine. They are simple but the sound is great.

I thought you had gone for an original Blaupunkt Bob?

Forget those other brands. Porsche: There is no substitute.
Porsche do a range of classic style radios and satnavs with Bluetooth and touchscreens, specifically to blend into your retro dash..

Here is one as seen in my 928..

They also do another style(s).. like this one in a 911 (not mine)..

lightweight option..

Don't you need like a £900 budget for these?

You could've at least used proper CF!!!!

 

[944 man]

Youre such a carbon fibre whore! I suspect that I could get you to buy anything, provided that it was made from CF...

Would you like to buy some magic CF beans? []

Alpine CDE-174BT. Assuming you don't want digital radio. Far prefer to have the usb stick than an iPod input (or use the blue tooth)
