Default Ipod to 1958s car radio

Hi JJ,

I suppose if you could find an AM Transmitter, that would be the
easiest way to go. The quality of the music would be the same as any
normal AM radio transmission. There are, however, other options
depending on how invasive you care to be. I understand that since you
have a classic, you might not want to touch anything - but maybe you'd
be open to some changes where they couldn't be seen/detected.

It is possible to install a new deck somewhere besides the dashboard.
If you get a deck with a detachable face, you could use a ribbon cable
from any PC to wire the faceplate away from the actual deck...

I've always thought this would be a great solution for a collector's
vehicle. Let's say you install the new deck (CD player or Digital
Media Receiver) under the driver's seat. If you wire the faceplate
remotely, you could clip it just about any place you'd like (on the
door, on the visor, in a center console). There are several iPod
compatible head units available for this, and there are quite a few
iPod docks that could fit into a cupholder and require no
"installation." If you're up for replacing the speakers, then there's
no reason why your classic car couldn't keep it's looks while having
an excellent new sound system!

Just a thought or two,

Is it available any reasonable way to connect Ipod or CD-player to old
Imperial 1958īs Am-radio? One possible way is AM-transmitter, for example
Gizmo, but is there too much interference inside the car? Also the antenna
may be difficult to hide. I suppose there should be many classic car owners
with same problem.
