Anybody just bite the bullet and install a DIN style radio and said 
to the old style?
You all have been great and I appreciate allowing me to piggyback on this one, amazing information.
I ordered a gauge plate with standard radio from Willcox and now I am thinking I should have ordered a DIN style.
Have to give Tommy a call.
Thanks to you all.

what does "pre BT" mean?
had a earlier unit, pre BT, paid nearly 700$US (approx 1050$ AU today) 6 yrs ago, so quite an expensive outlay from down here.
arrived broken in the box, **** shafts loose, no red dial pointer - was rattling around inside.
was expensive to ship back for repairs and was over a month before i got it back.
aux input eventually failed, it didn't respond mp3 input,
i asked them about replacement circuit boards, but they no longer stock them and the new ones wont work in the unit i have.
but unit is still in the dash for looks.
i went remote Kenwood BTKAC-M1824BT amp mounted up under the dash and haven't looked back.

Hey, good afternoon. I was just reading a post you had back on February 21, 2020 regarding a new bluetooth vintage style radio for your vette from Vintage Auto Radio. Did you ever buy it and are you happy with the unit and it's performance?
Thanks
Jason
