The Modern C2-Hands free Calling and navigation
Getting my 67 ready for the Road Tour to San Antonio and I found a way of modernizing without modifying the dash.
Here's the new look of the dash:
There's three new components here, a bluetooth FM transmitter, a dual socket lighter adapter, and a Garmin GPS.
Here's the FM transmitter:
the original radio
This little jewel pairs up with any Bluetooth cellphone or smartphone, and transmits the phone call to any set station on your original radio. It also charges your phone, and accepts mp3 files from a zip drive or smartphone and plays them on your original radio set to a blank station. If you get a phone call it interrupts the music to answer the phone with its integral mike. I've got a zip drive of the Eagles and Young Rascals greatest hits and now I can tool along listening to "Hotel California" or "Groovin".
The mount for the transmitter is a dual lighter socket:
To hold it in place I used velcro tape around the steering column. It has a high amp usb socket on the side to power the GPS. I also added a dual USB charger socket for other cell phones and instruments. If I want to light a cigar on the road, I can remove the charge socket and use my original cigar lighter which is in the glove compartment.
Here is my GPS which is very useful.
On a freeway it actually shows a picture of the off ramp signs and which lane you should be in. It mounts to a suction cup to the inside of the windshield. No holes or screws.
Well, I think I'm ready for the drive from Sonora, CA to San Antonio, TX.
