96 850 GLT Radio alternative

Post by joe_pinehill »

My radio works perfectly fine, , I like the look of the OEM radio, only problems are, I wish it weren't cassette, and it had bluetooth.

Staples has Jawbone Mini Jambox's for $70 this week. Thinking for $70 I have a blue tooth, I can use in the car, and take anywhere. Any take this approach?

Yes I know bluetooth ready radios are around $100 from crutchfield

You can purchase a blue tooth chip for a tape adapter off eBay for about $15. Does your deck have a CD player?
