No radio
I just saw in a thread that someone on this forum was going to put a custom auto sound system in there corvette Trust me worst idea ever unless you don't care about fidelity. Going down that road one time myself I know. So you like the look of your stock dash and you don't want to cut it up. Here you go a hidden Bluetooth. New stuff always scares me not knowing if it's going to work. Let me assure you this is beyond what I expected.
This is the amp
This is the Bluetooth receiver
And these are 4x6 kick panel speakers. Oh I don't have a pic but my kid loaned me a sub box with two 12s in it. Let me just say you can't turn it all the way up if your sitting in the car and it is crystal clear. And you can hide it all and run it off your phone

I quit listening to my cars' radios/sound systems years ago. Since I don't drive that much anymore (last long distance road trip was ten years ago.) and most of my trips are relatively short around town I just like listening to my cars, which are all now "vintage", and I wouldn't want to interfere with the visceral sounds of a vintage Corvette with a mechanical lifter camshaft and offroad mufflers with music or yakking.
Save that for the tinted window, air conditioned, acoustically insulated cocoon daily driver whose four-cylinder turbocharged engine sounds like a 1930s farm tractor.

Another option and what I've done is buy a bluetooth "boom box" (SoundFreq Soundplatform 2 with the optional battery pack) that I put behind the seats when I go cruising, and pair it with my iPhone. That way the interior remains stock, did not have to do any wiring, and did not have to lay under the dash doing an install. It also has an FM tuner built-in that comes in handy at the local drive-in theater (yes, we have some of them and they now play first run movies and the sound is broadcast on FM).
