Something I’ve wanted to do for a while, Rick Butler has my seats so no excuse not to do it

Nice job.....I've thought about giving it up, but I've had the same Molly Hatchet tape in it for 8 or 10 years now.....Still love remembering that it's in there and playing "Dreams I'll never see"....Great song.

I actually gutted mine a few years ago. I just cut it enough to install a USB plug set, the rest of the original faceplate was there and looked pretty butchered. Decided to make it look somewhat respectable instead of a hack job.

Got a link to the volt meter you used?  I was going to crack open the fairing soon to chase down a short and wanted to add a meter.

Nice install!  Looks really clean.  I still use my tape deck to stream my music.

I went with a Bluetooth receiver in the fairing when IPhone did away with the earphone jack,  then changed to a Bluestreak a couple years ago.

I’ve been using a Bluetooth to cassette tape.  Works Amazing for what it cost.  The only thing I need to rig up is being able to charge it while using it. The port is on the side rather than the back.

That’s why I used one like this, didn’t want to deal with dead batteries in the receiver or phone. I changed to the bluestreak to integrate phone calls into the system. It was $10 back then
