Hello folks,
If you really want boring how about the current offerings of car
radios. I put a one into my MGB GT V8 and got a Pioneer because it had
a remote USB at the end of a cable so I can put the flash drive in my
glove box. I only listen to 91.5FM and 99.1 FM because they have NO
adverts (CBC). When I drove out with my newly installed radio I found
to my horror that because these stations had a weak signal /I could not
get them! /But when I got back to the car radio install company they
could not understand my problem pointing out that I now had Spotify,
Pandora, Sirius, Bluetooth, ability to use my cell phone into the radio
(WHY???), have different colours for the display, etc, etc,etc. There
was only ONE page in the 33 page manual devoted to radio !!!!!!!   So
my MGB is now a mobile communication centre with a *iss poor radio. Â
But to end this all, I bought a cheap portable for my garage (listen to
non commercial stations of course) and for fun tried it in my MGB - it
worked perfectly !!!!!!
