Hi,

First post in this part of PH and I have looked through the last ten pages for an answer. The only possible solution I've found is the use of a UE roll. However...

I have a 1973 Lotus Elan +2. It currently has a 10+ years old head unit and because the mounting depth available is very shallow it sticks out of the dash about 50mm. I'd like to remove it and put a dummy, in-period push button radio back to get the dash looking standard again. I would like some music though... Is there a solution I can use which allows me to connect my iPhone to some kind of hidden controller for a car amp (fitted in the boot)? I'd need to control everything from the 'phone. Does such a thing exist? I have looked through some online sellers websites but can't see anything and thought I'd ask here first in the hope of getting any creative answers.

Thanks for any help,

Will

I have one of the Classic Car Stereo Hidden Bluetooth Amps in my Renault Spider - works very well. Not the most powerful/loudest system but I only have front footwell speakers at the moment - thinking about some rears too as it can power 4 speakers. Functions very well and as described can be completely hidden.

I would definitely recommend.
