View Full Version : Radioless Nova
The joys of owning an early base model nova leaves me with the problem of having no radio to listen too and 700miles to drive this wknd..
For pv i had a portable radio with me, it done the job fine but was bulky..
anyone have any alternatives for me to use?
I will not be fitting a head unit tho.. keeping her original!!
cheers
Yeah, MP3 player with little portable speakers!!!

or just your mobile phone if its got a loud speaker:thumb:
lol I used to use my phone in Original Saloon before I got round to fitting the head unit (which now lives in the Celica :D)
That had a crap music player on it though. It used to keep playing ringtones LOL
Fit a headunit in the glove box thats what ill be doing.

not a bad idea,we leave first thing in morning so no time to do it now, I wired up a ciggy lighter in there for the sat nav,
ipod just stick headphones in your ear!
Never had a radio in mine either, **** all on the radio imo....just listen to those carbs sing for you!
I had a blanking plate in mine (where I moved the window switches too) and installed the HU in the glovebox too. Nice and neat :)

you want a radio but you dont want a radio, what exactly do you want me to suggest other than listening to the note of the beautiful nova engine purr like a wild lion?
