Seeking a Specific Recommendation -- Retro Stereo (e30)

[brian_vancouver]

I am wanting a recommendation for a retro stereo (as much as this is possible) to install into my 1991 318ic e30. Music stereo performance is at the low end of my wants.... I would like a head that will:

- appear relatively retro (including red display)
- allow for usb A and radio jack input
- provide for bluetooth cell phone call interface
- (and lesser) allow for cassette tape and/or cd use. Not Important

And only because I'm curious if this is available, a flip out gps screen. Again, not critical

Finally, I would prefer a head that will plug into the oem plugs and/or provide instructions on how to wire the interface.

A lot to ask, so perhaps not available. That said, any specific recommendations?

Thanks all,

Brian

They sell am transmitters that plug into your cigarette lighter. That's the easiest way to keep your oem wiring.

The E36 radio and the BT stock radio mod are options.
The VDO-Continental radio lights can be modded to have the BMW color.

The connector is standard for a modern radio, so it's not plug-and-play.

The guy who does the Reverse RDS is on Instagram @bmwradios.
Highly recommend.

I ended up with a Conti TR7412UB-OR and the color matches the rest of the HVAC panel really well. The only thing I dislike is the chrome volume knob.

Came across someone who invert the the screen and it looks even better: https://imgur.com/gallery/TCCy32R#EEJ1F4J

+1 for the blaupunkt - installed here

No CD or tape deck for you though...
