[TR] MP3 / IPOD hidden stereo

[Ken Nachman]

Brad - I recently installed this exact unit from Woody's into my '69 TR6. I
removed a "modern" CD player the previous owner had installed. I bought a
new uncut dash support and put a period radio that is not connected (but I
guess I could have used a blanking plate). It looks great and I play my iPod
through my 4 speakers. Sounds good and I can even hear it with the top down.
I control the volume on my iPhone.
