90s looking headunit with bluetooth phone/audio?

[pablo]

Anyone seen something? I want a stereo for the M3 that can do modern bluetooth stuff but doesnt look like a nightclub.

Becker would be the obvious choice but bluetooth is pretty crappy and phone only.

cheers

What Becker did you have with Bluetooth? I had a Mexico Pro 7937 and the bluetooth was dead on. Then you could get a Becker iPod interface too.

Hard to find anything modern yet 90's looking, but a few I always thought this looked good;

DAB - Digital Car Radio • KDC-BT73DAB Features • Kenwood UK

No preset buttons help make the front panel look cleaner.

This too;

Pioneer DEH-X8700DAB Car Stereo

What about alpine? They're as progressive as Aston Martin in the styling department

I'd stay away from Becker units - sub standard sound quality and very unreliable when I sold them in the late 90's - 2000's. They never sounded better than Alpine stuff, though most people can mistake classy looks for great performance......the style over substance brigade, people like Lyons! I suppose that if you are looking for bluetooth streaming of music, then sound quality isn't an issue?
I know that you (Pablo) don't like leads in the car, but I'd personally go for an aux input from phone to head unit instead of bluetooth.
Have a look here though: Classic Car Stereos for some period sound systems!

If you're going old school, it has to be a DEH P945R. My favourite head unit, pure awesomeness.

Can't understand why companies don't make more OEM looking head units, they also need to realise not everyone drives VWs with red/blue backlighting!!!

Why not fit a Parrot that streams music through an old school unit?

PM me mate, might do the job.

And I had you for a flip out screen man @pablo

Slightly off topic but spotted this recently and thought it looked great, it's a modern headunit done in classic style for older 911s

This new radio with nav for classic Porsches is amazing

 

[pablo]

1100 euro ouch

@Steve has sorted me with an alpine that is cheap enough for now. Really do fancy a classic p9 or something though. Despite the crappy connections

Dunno if any good but find the stereo you like and send it to this crowd says they can do Bluetooth conversions?
Tadpole Radios

 

[Lyons]

Thats impressive stuff.

A mate has an Alpine CDA 7878r with remote for 90’s cool.

Not sure what he would be needing for it though.
