Hi,
You say the radio is useless but it is unclear whether you just think it looks useless or it has useless reception. If it is the latter it may be the aerial that is the problem. When I first got my Aeromax the reception on the Becker Mexico fitted, which looked great in terms of fit in the car, was very poor. The problem on reception was diagnosed to the poor aerial (fitted in the rear side window). Not wanting to spoil the looks of the car by adding an external aerial, i settled on fitting a digital receiver hidden under the dash which feeds its signal into the Becker. The aerial for the digital receiver (controlled remotely (bluetooth)by a neat small control box that is stuck on above the rear view mirror) is stuck on the inside of the windscreen and in my view is unobtrusive and gives very good reception of digital signals other than in very remote locations where there is not good digital reception.
Hope this experience helps with your decision on what to go with. Car looks lovely by the way.
Enjoy
Malcolm
