ICE

As I near the completion of my Morris Minor Traveller improvements, I have given thought to what used to be called a car radio. I have at least one spare radio cassette player and some speakers but I also have a Zuma MP3 in another car, which, behind it's retro façade, is very neat. The attached show further developments, which are not familiar to me.

I don't fancy the glove box being full of radio, as that is where I keep odds and ends, not least spare bulbs. The blue tooth amplifier looks very neat but I don't know what would go with that. Could it be wired in to the speakers I have (There is an unintentional recess for them in front of the front doors on Morris Minors)? What medium would be input into the amplifier, which presumably would be wired into the car's wiring system? I'm not bothered about a radio and with the MP3, in one of the other cars, a memory stick holds the music.

I got my late father a Sony Walkman MP3 player, when he was admitted to hospital in 2019. It was very small and neat. Something, like that, could be OK, if there is such a thing for cars?

I tend to listen to the radio via my telephone. Could you get something to connect to that?
Just be careful, I got a warning from the police recently for doing this... Phone was on the seat and I switched it off after I'd applied the handbrake then shut the engine off... No fine but I'm a naughty boy :lol:
