Need FM Radio

[sodamo]

I think the best option is for Slate (or Crutchfield) to offer a replacement panel for the center dash piece that has a double-din sized opening. Add some metal brackets behind the dash to secure a standard double-din sized radio.

Also offer blank speaker covers (but not speakers, and not blue-tooth speakers) to allow standard speaker installation on the left and right side of the dash (6" round"?ovals?).

Top it off with pre-wired +12v hot, +12v when running, and a ground wire pigtail and you're ready to put in any basic radio you want. Just need to add an antenna somewhere. Since the body is plastic a wire antenna under the body may work just fine?

If I do wind up getting a Slate (I have a reservation in), I want to use Apple CarPlay and just keep my phone in my pocket. Easy enough to do with double-din radios that have a built-in screen. Add a couple of decent speakers and you're good to go. Won't be audiophile grade but should should good enough...

I like any radio with a real volume knob. Here's a cheap one...

LOL, when I read “cheap” was expecting to click and see less than $50.

I just noticed taht the configurator now offers a Front Center Bluetooth Speaker that mounts below the HVAC knobs. The claim it "fully integrates into the vehicle", whatever that means.

It does seem they have updated the maker with at least some interior options. I also don't remember there being a power window option that replaces the crank with a sunglasses holder.

That's been there for a long time, I've had that saved in my spec for at least a month or two. I like that it covers the electric motor
