    Thank you to all who have answered this thread. I have some excellent options here, but I really appreciate the links to the researched solution by LiveFromNY. I'm inclined to duplicate that setup.

    I've used their stuff. It's fine. A bit pricey for what it is, and severely under-powered as you'd expect, but if you don't need massive power it'll work fine.

    Happy to help. Hope it meets your expectations.

    BTW, I have a similar solution for adding bluetooth to a stock Frankfurt if anyone is interested.

    Sure, guys.

    To start you need the same Exile Audio bluetooth receiver:

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...rch_detailpage

    And a slightly different RCA to 3.5mm adapter:

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    Install the bluetooth receiver under the dash and connect the RCA/3.5mm adapter. You'll now have a female 3.5mm connection to the bluetooth receiver.

    Next, you'll need one of these iPod adapters from Auto Atlanta:

    http://www.autoatlanta.com/Porsche-I...RMKRAD001.html

    That one will fit most of our mono Frankfurts. Later cars will use this one:

    http://www.autoatlanta.com/Porsche-I...RMKRAD002.html

    And very early cars may use this one:

    http://www.autoatlanta.com/Porsche-I...RMKRAD003.html

    If you look at the back of your Frankfurt, there will be either a 5-pin or a 7-pin input. It may be under a plastic cap. It's best to count the pins before you order your adapter.

    Plug the iPod adapter into the back of your radio and install the rocker switch to the bottom of the radio with a piece of double sided tape. Connect your previously installed bluetooth receiver to the male 3.5mm male connector on your iPod adapter. These are small parts and they'll all tuck up nicely under your dash with a zip tie.

    When you're done, just connect your phone to the bluetooth which then sends the signal to your radio via the iPod adapter and uses your radio's amplifier to power your dash speaker. You can use your radio's volume knob to adjust the volume but make sure your phone volume is up. If you ever want to listen to AM/FM, just reach up under your radio and switch the hidden rocker switch. Switch it back to return to bluetooth.

    One note... lots of companies make these iPod adapters. You can use any of them but make sure you use one that has a rocker switch. If you don't have a switch, you'll be stuck on bluetooth permanently with no ability to listen to AM/FM short of unplugging the iPod adapter from the back of the radio.

    Let me know if you have any questions.

    I'm probably a bit late to this thread but seeing as speakers are the the biggest issue (I have a sport exhaust and I DO still like to hear music other than that), here's my solution.

    Under the passenger seat I run a Kenwood KSC-SW11 powered subwoofer (can't be seen and fits under a sportsitze) and for in dash I have a pair of Kicker DS35 2-way speakers in the standard grill hole - they bolt right in with no mods. For main amp, I use a small Kicker (can't recall the model but about 50W with wired and bluetooth connection that goes where the radio once did. There's a photo of the in dash speakers at page 10 of this thread - http://www.early911sregistry.org/for...ferrerid=22743

    Cheers,

    I used an RCA to 3.5MM adaptor to plug the bluetooth unit into the AUX input of a small amplifier running in bridged mode.

    and

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...rch_detailpage

    I tried all the aftermarket speaker setups and found that an NOS original dash speaker gave me the best sound. Everything else was just too tinny for me.

    Very pleased with the results. Completely stealth, $125 in parts, no permanent mods to the car, and install took less than an hour. My phone connects to the bluetooth and I adjust volume with my phone.
    Hello Live,

    It seems that the Exile Audio amp is no longer available since your installation. Any recommendations for a similar, lower-priced unit?

    Thanks!
