B2Fresh Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 So since I bought my B210 I've been driving lonely and with only the sound of engine and wind noise. I plan to keep the stock radio and will remain in its stock location. I'm in need to hear some tunes while driving my ride to work or wherever my "B" takes me.. So I want to see some of your stereos and your creative installations. Let the ideas begin.. Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 I will be going down this road in my 510. Was thinking about keeping the stock am radio and getting a bluetooth amp to power a few speakers. Looking at a JL 6w3 6.5" sub. Maybe an 8".. looking to save space. 1 Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 Was thinking about keeping the stock am radio and getting a bluetooth amp to power a few speakers. This. :thumbup: On my 510 I added an 1/8" input jack to the stock radio, then ran the radio speaker output into an amp, then out to four speakers. Sounded good. Only downside is it's always mono, not stereo. 1 Quote Link to comment

Sierra Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 Wow! Joes stuff is awesome. BUT the cheapest conversion come out at $425 Not cheap :( This guyhttp://www.joesclassiccarradio.comMakes theseAnd could make yours do it to. 1 Quote Link to comment

Lockleaf Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 Wow! Joes stuff is awesome. BUT the cheapest conversion come out at $425 Not cheap :( Yes. Or maybe no. Ummm.... I agree, so whichever word properly indicates that. I'm slowly (think year or two) working on a design that functions similarly, but is diy arduino based. I'm working on aux and bluetooth integration, stereo w/ 4 speaker output, fader, balance, etc all controlled by the original Datsun radio i have. 2 Quote Link to comment
afracer Posted July 29, 2017 Report Share Posted July 29, 2017 I just pulled the factory AM radio out of my b310 last night! It isn't going back in. There's a guy on ebay selling nice retro style 2 knob stereos that are completely modernized. They have the same knob spacing as the Datsun and aren't too too terrible on price. I'll get one of those and then wire in some new speakers and probably call it a day. 2 Quote Link to comment
Dguy210 Posted July 30, 2017 Report Share Posted July 30, 2017 Yes. Or maybe no. Ummm.... I agree, so whichever word properly indicates that.

I'm working on aux and bluetooth integration, stereo w/ 4 speaker output, fader, balance, etc all controlled by the original Datsun radio i have. I haven't seen 4ch output but there are several headless units sold on the Chinese deal sites that are basically Bluetooth tied to an amp with some knobs, probably make a good base to pull from, as the electronics are very compact on those. I bought a cheap one to pull apart and it was mostly dead space with a single board and heat sink with a cable to the front panel controls. Quote Link to comment
Lockleaf Posted July 30, 2017 Report Share Posted July 30, 2017 That is actually exactly what I'm thinking, but I'm hoping i can find one where i can pirate the sound signal preamp and route it through a 4channel chip. I've been looking at some that aren't even DIN sized head units. They are a screw on panel with a small screen and exposed electronics on the back, but they have bluetooth, aux, and usb.
