Okay, so having sold Pelican about three years ago, I've been mucking around with real estate and restoring other cars (working on the 1969 M-505 Adams Brothers Probe 16). But I came across something the other day, that I haven't seen before.
So, on my 1972 911E, I have the standard period-correct Blaupunkt Frankfurt radio installed, and about 15 years ago, I bought a plug adapter that allows me to plug the radio into a standard 3.5 headphone jack like the ones that used to be on the old iPods. That worked great for many years, the sound automatically plays through the old Blaupunkt radio into the standard speakers, and maintains 100% the correct vintage radio.
Fast forward to 2020, and I have the Probe 16 we're restoring which basically has the same radio. Check out this thread here for more info:

Here's the radio:
So, this radio has a plug on the back (very forward thinking for Blaupunkt) that has a cross-over switch (ability to automatically turn off the radio and use an external source), and power as well. Here's the plug on the back:
So, this is what I bought:

Plugged it in, and it works perfectly. Red Hot Chilli Peppers streaming from my iPhone to my 1970 Blaupunkt Frankfurt radio in the 1969 Probe 16! The sound is of course, from 1970, but actually, these old radios are not that bad!
I'm going to recommend that Pelican carry this product, it's pretty good. Literally a five-minute installation!
