So whilst I love the engine sound of my Plus 4, I am planning on taking it to our house in mid France next year. And with 5 hours from Caen on an autoroute (more on the RN) I think we would benefit from some music from the ipod. Not fussed about radio - its poor in France. So I am thinking along the following lines:
- replace the radio blank with a custom panel with a couple of USB charging points and a cigarette lighter socket for satnav (I suspect the plug will drop out of the one under the dash), plus a phono in connection.
- provide hardwired split phonos to the parcel shelf where we could either plug in two earphones or perhaps sit a standalone speaker (like a Bluetooth one).
- Plug in my old steam powered ipod into the dash and bobs your uncle.
- Add some footwell lighting to the "radio" panel too whilst I am at it.
Not convinced about driving with earphones - but it was ok on the motorbike listening to music on headphones built into the helmet.
Thoughts? Anyone do this?
Cheers
Nick
Not on a Morgan - I havent got one. But in the Lotus which was fitted with an expensive Blaupunkt DAB radio, I found trying to listen through speakers just irritated the hell out of me. Instead I used earbuds and pre recorded music from my phone. Mind you the phone has radio anyway
Its the same set up I use on the boat and down at the gym. And on the bike too
