This may have already been posted . . . If so, sorry for the duplication.

I just came across this article about Blaupunkt reproducing period correct (Bremen model line) headunits with modern conveniences like AUX in and Bluetooth. Costing about $500, they are Less expensive than the Porsche Classic headunit

Looks nice! In searching for a head unit, I found that what looks most appropriate is having a matte, flat faceplate. Unfortunately, most head units today are glossy and curved.

VDO Continental also makes a nice looking modern radio, though I have no personal experience how it sounds. Available at BergvillF/X.

I have no radio, and I kind of like it that way, but I wouldn't mind fitting one of these, IF they come to the US.

when i was looking at continental i noticed no sub out for my sub under the drivers seat . Maybe things have changed .

The VDO is available through ECS

i bought a a $10 sony cassette deck at my local car audio place. They had it in their attic for the last 15 years. It had a switch that allowed it to act as a passive amplifier with RCA inputs. I plug my phone into those RCA's and stream what I want. Not the best setup for again, $10.

This retro blau looks exactly like what I would want!

An alternate would be good for those that have the original radio installed, or a block off plate too. You could install one of these hidden setups and control if completely from your smart phone:

Out of Sight Audio - Hidden Bluetooth Audio and Hands Free Calling for any vehicle.

No line out connectors on the VDO, only four speaker level connections.

pampadori -- you could also get a bluetooth > rca adapter that would let you do the same thing -- see, https://www.amazon.com/Audiopipe-Bluetooth-Receiver-Converts-Amplifier/dp/B01K1LLX5S/ref=sr_1_13?crid=2OTZ9ESCGKFYN&keywords=bluetooth+rca+adapter+car+audio&qid=1563828906&s=gateway&sprefix=bluetooth+rca+adapter+car%2Caps%2C170&sr=8-13

I added line level outs. To 2 amps and a sub. Works. I went overboard with Focal speakers. Sounds great in my loud car but I often forget to turn on the tunes whilst driving lol
