You know, my Grandfather tried for my entire childhood to teach me electronics and machining and I never fully appreciated it until now. I wish he was still around to I could say thanks. However, I wish to extend my thanks to this channel for helping me realize that and I have hope to build on the foundation my grandfather laid. Great mod. Well explained.

My phone broke. Time to take apart my car.

"The switch had to be deleted." I love it.

I feel both smarter and dumber (for not knowing how to do this) after watching this great hack, you take what looks complex and make it simple! Great job!

You are such and inteligent and adaptive person ! a rare jewel !love every video !

"takes up usable space in the car and makes for no fun" love it 😆

I just stumbled upon this video. GREAT STUFF! Thanks for all you do. I'll be watching more

Nice to see this channel active again. Keep the good work coming.

Dude ! You can't expect be a Rockstar all the time! You Know you are good at your craft when people look at you doing your Job and you make it look easy!

dude half the time i have no idea what you are talking about, but i love your videos and the way you explain what your doing, makes me want to grab a soldering iron and go crazy.

love seeing ingenuity in the making. great work.

Still listening to impressive music !! I like it !! Good to have you back too !!

Keep on doing your thing Inventor Man. I MacGyver when possible too, and I can totally relate to what your doing. Anyone in this vast world of stupidity and ignorance can "go buy a new head unit", however surprisingly few have the knowledge or the creativity to even consider thinking about doing this for themselves. For myself it's simply the appreciation difference that I get from the things that Ive built and/or modified. I hope to see more videos from you. Also, excellent narrating, the detail in your actions are noteworthy and very informative

The gentle touch of my vice. LOL

"The gentle touch of my vice" :-)

Brilliant hack. Very useful, too. Not all of us have a modern car with this amenity built-in.

Great hack. I can see this giving new life to my other audio gear. Thanks for sharing.

Great work, great instructions, I have almost 0 knowledge in electronics, but your instructions are crystal clear, you just earned a new subscriber :). Greetings from Egypt.

I would have loved to see some glue added to the solder joints where you soldered the audio cable to the pads next to the audio jack as a strain relief. Also, I don't know if it's needed in Germany, but here in Iceland I would have tried to seal the voltage regulator pot with silicone or some hot-snot to prevent moisture from changing the resistance and thus changing the output voltage. :) Great hack! Good to see you back on your feet! :D

DUDE YOU ARE A LEGEND!

love the ingenuity and the how to of the video

Great to see a new video from you!

I can't believe this video got 192 thumbs down. I guess some people don't appreciate ingenuity.

...a gifted and skilled person... 👍🍻

I really enjoy the concept of your channel. U are awesome!

Dan thank you very much for your reply, it had simplified a lot of thing for me and I'll check for videos about what you have suggested. thanks again

Thanks for this video. I'll be doing this myself soon. I have an older high end receiver that will now be brought in to the modern age.

Kool voice and ascent....goes perfectly together. You know your stuff!

I love this video, so creative and useful!

You've just given me an idea for something else, Thankyou.

This is genius and beautiful work of art. Great work!

This ingenious hack could be used in old cars with old stereos, that for mounting purposes and originality a new stereo wouldn't work, look good, or would ruin the aesthetic in an old restored car. Bravo!

Man. Iv been waiting for your video. Keep it up ;)

wow what a view from your driveway. you have a beautiful home.

That's some serious Shadowrun shit! Lol I love it! Keep up the great videos man!

I really feel like I'm making progress learning electronics when I realised that I knew how this hack could be done early on in the video.. very Very cool vid👏👍👍👍

Superb hack, thanks for sharing.

You should make more of videos like this bringing older technology more usable using a bit of modern tech. Love to come back to your older videos.

Loved it. Good Job. Keith

At 10:00 you can hear the bottles of alcohol rolling into each other in the back seat. That aside, wonderful work!

Dr. Strangelove hacks a car stereo. I love it!

very simple and works very well .

Great vid, you make it look so easy.

Sweet! That is a great hack!!! Nice music selection also.

Great hack, very nicely done.

Great video love the folk music.

You're an amazing person.

This is a motivating video. I was just motivated to purchase a car stereo with built-in bluetooth.

nice job I like your approach

nice to see you're still alive :D

This tech guy is terrific!

"this switch needs to be deleted..." I laughed.

thought about doing something simular for a long time :) Infact, i even thought about building my very own car stereo based on an Arduino or a Raspberry Pi with an LCD touchscreen :) Never got around to it though :)

You are a genius, great idea to use a car-radio cassette.

That was a cool video to watch.. thank you.Here's your thumbs up.

Beautiful road and location :)

thats such a nice video.thanks for posting

Best of all the dash looks factory (with some black paint) and nothing to steal if parked some place dodgy. Nice work!

Bully! That was sheer delight to watch!

This is so dang cool! Great video!

Nice modification ;) Thumbs up :D Alex

Welcome back! :D

Me: "I'll go out and buy a cheap BT car radio" TPAI: "I'll just hack and mod some stuff I've got lying around and before you come back from the store it's up and running!" Marvellous!!!!

Nicely done!

Your name alone rewards you a new subscriber. ✊🏿

I hate waste and adding to land fill. If something can be modified to make it useful again I'm all for it. I'm going to subscribe so I can learn about making things useful again. Cheers.

Good hack and easy to understand

Sir, you are very cleaver! I also wonder if you are a teacher? If you are not, you should be.. You explain your process very well. Thank you for your work, Eric in Oregon

Nicely done! I fully understand how hacking your radio to make it do what you want is much more satisfying than just buying a new new. Bravo !

You, sir, are magnificent.

Nice hack. Thanks for sharing.

Great introduction

I love this guy.

Absolute GENIAL!! This is just what I need for my 1986 DODGE RAM D-150 TRUCK. A bit over my pay grade, but I have a friend who can probably get this done. Super so see great examples of German Engineering - for household use! Liebe Gruesse as Nashville.

I love how you almost mix some German words into the English ones. Like Zwölf and Twelve turn into Twölf😂 Also, awesome hack. I have used your audio input hack on an old Grundig "Music Boy" radio reciever, and it works great!

Super Video leider bin ich kein Elektroniker und vieles war für mich wie Chinesisch aber es zeigt dass es nicht so schwer ist wenn Mann sich etwas auskennt. Danke fürs zeigen!

wow, so nice of you

You are awesome man

great video. thanks for sharing it.

that is awesome man way to go

well done sir!

I wish you could lend me your brain for a day or so to install bluetooth in my car, too ;-) I really love the way you don't let yourself be pushed back by any boundaries.

My moto G has a dodgy jack too. Didn't get as bad as yours but it will soon so I went ahead and got a new phone. Cool mod.

Well that is a lot of work to go through to get blue tooth integrated into the car radio but hey true you dont have to worry about a voltage drain any longer . Great video

very smart. good for the environment and who would want to steal a modified factory deck that is 20+ years old ? no one ( i hope).

Great job

absolutely fantastic!

Well done!

I just ordered a Bluetooth module and intend to do this to my factory Ford radio in my Mercury Mountaineer. My problem is that I have no aux input. Could I simply connect to the inputs from the CD player, or are they digital?

I love this kinda stuff...as luck would have it, i have a bluetooth receiver in my parts that i been what to do with. I wont be putting it in car stereo but i at least know how to wire it up when i find a good use for it....whoever you are dude, thanks for that vid. reaspect, peace

Really impressive!

you sr. are amazing, kick ass dude

Cool dude ; ) factory stereos have the best fm reception.

really cool! good job. one could just take a 3.8 V DC-DC converter, but you even built that yourself =) Super Sache!

This is the first video of this channel I watched and loved it. I feel so good watching this. Beautiful country side and wonderful music. Could you pls share the info of that music with us? Thank you. Cheers!

. you sure have earned a subscription

good work

Great video, but one thing I was wondering, cars produce more than 12v when running, usually the alternator puts out 13.5v to 14.8v, so how well regulated would the pot based power supply you made be?

You must be the happiest man ever when something breaks down and requires a new contraption.

Sehr gut!
