Radio recommendations for 986

thanks all for the suggestions. I am not afraid to cut the harness and solder, its just a matter of how I spend my time. I'm waiting for Becker to open this morning so I can call. I pass pretty close to them in NJ on my weekly commute from upstate New York back to Brooklyn. I'm guessing that will be the way to go.

shout out to redtele58. Dropped the radio at Becker on Tuesday for bluetooth conversion. they called and said one bad capacitor, I said replace them all. It came back in the mail today, yes very fast turn around.

the sound through the radio with my iPhone as the source is 20 times better than the sound quality of FM, at least 90 miles from Manhattan.

I am really happy with the result. reinstallation of the radio took 20 seconds.

Original look, no blue light distraction at night but now I need new speakers.

What's the recommendation for dash speakers? I don't have door speakers or rear speakers.

thanks for the help and suggestions
