Most BT speakers will have a very very hard time keeping up with road noise. Your other choice is to get an Amp that has bluetooth built in or a BT Adapter that can output to an amp that you can hide in the car. Whats your goal here? which car of yours is it going in? or is it moving between all of your bad *** rides in your sig?
Thanks . I would use it only in the 356

None - works great and doesn't look aftermarket. It does require the screen to be modified as it sits in the 944 at a different angle than a 996. I bought mine from SW Stereo who does the modification...it wasn't cheap (~$450) but Im happy.

I had some more time to look into things, here are a few more options. First up is a small amp with BT built in, easily hidden in the car.

Another option is that pioneer (gm-1004) i posted earlier in the thread with a bluetooth receiver.

http://www.crutchfield.com/p_130GMD1....html?tp=35782

Finally, this is specificly made for car use and is super unintrusive. I'd get this if you don't want to mount anything in your 356. You won't have to worry about it moving around like that g-pop i posted since this clips to the visor.

Installed this Continental radio yesterday. It was a perfect & snug fit. I'll have to clean up the wiring though, PO just taped them together.
I really love the looks of it!




I'll get new pics later today. Didn't see on my phone how crappy they were...

I really like the look and reviews of the Continental Radio's, and the price isn't too bad either. However, in my searching on Amazon I came across this:

Amazon Amazon

I am not big into the stereo or sound system world. Typically I have my radio turned off and have the windows down! This looks like it may fit with the look of the interior and provide some updated tech at a fairly low price. I know it is not a brand name, but looks like another option.
