What have you done to your DeLorean today?

[Domi]

Today I wired in a bluetooth unit that I connected to an FM modulator and then hooked it all up to a new switch that replaces one of my dummies:

I'm not sure I'm sold on the quality of the bluetooth device itself ($30 made in china unit) but it works for now and will be super easy to swap out with a different one later on if I decide (30 second unplug old and plug in new).
Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go rock out in the car.

How did you wired this unit on the Craig?
Thanks!

First, I installed the iSimple FM modulator to connect directly inline with the antenna for a clear FM signal on 87.9 FM. This provides Aux functionality

You can see in the picture it has an on/off switch. This allows you to turn it off when not using it, which allows other radio stations to not be interfered with.

Then I also soldered a compact USB power supply to the same manual switch the FM modulator is using (this is a "EDO Tech Ultra Compact 5V USB Direct Hardwire Adapter Kit"):

Finally, I connected this bluetooth module to the USB power and FM modulator I installed (iClever Himbox HB01+):

Then I cut off the original switch that came with my FM modulator and put the new DMC switch in its place.

Like I said in my earlier post, I think the weakest link in this is the bluetooth module. I have clear audio plugged directly into the FM modulator, but less clear over this blue tooth unit. I may swap it out eventually, but it is good enough for now.

Another side note: I have one of VideoBob's Craig radio harness extenders so I didn't have to splice into my factory harness for power, making all of this very easily reversible.

Thank you very much for all the explanation

With Hurricane Matthew winding down outside, and after verifying that we didn't suffer any damage, I was able to relax a bit and cut and install the front outer door seal on the passenger side this afternoon.

My thoughts are with other owners and their families in the path of this storm, and I hope for the best for them.

I got some more work done today on the windshield header panel and the A post finishers:

After 4 coats of SEM Trim Black, the windshield header panel is painted. After I install the new foam rubber roof retaining strip 106852, this panel will be ready to install.

With the A post finishers painted with 4 coats of SEM Trim Black as well, I reinstalled the 2 rubber strips that were fastened with 2 sided tape. I chose Locktite Power Grab 3/4" clear outdoor 2 sided tape:

I cleaned the surfaces with isopropyl alcohol and applied the tape:

Then, I peeled off the red strip, exposing the other side of the tape, and re-attached the rubber strips that protect the windshield.

I finished the windshield header panel and A post finishers today by doing final installation.

I completely restored my car by myself but I would have to say the biggest pain in the ass with working on this car has to be cleaning the wheels. I would redo everything on my car over again but avoid doing anything with the Wheels lol. Looks sharp man!

Just went on a 1,300 mile round trip to Hershey, PA for the Antique Automobile Club of America Fall Meet and I won a First Junior award for my car.

My son and I took the car and paid our respects to JZD a couple weeks ago...
