Anyone know of / have used a company that can make a usb input for oem radio?

I want oem look but play iPhone

Thanks

You can try this: https://gromaudio.com/store/usb_adapter ... r-kit.html


I can't vouch for the USB adapter, but I have a Grom BT3 bluetooth adapter that works okay. The only annoyance is when hitting the ignition key, the radio cuts out which tells the phone to stop playing, and you have to manually start play on the phone again.

Some of the buttons on the radio will control the phone to get to different tracks, but it is not great. There is a nice spot above the glove box you can attach it with velcro and not have cables going everywhere or rip the dash apart to hide it.

I haven't checked but this company does OEM integration stuff.

Thanks guys I’ll hunt these down

The NSX community is pretty crazy about those Grom units. No personal experience though.

PrinceAli has run setups previously leveraging the disc changer input. I'll ping him, it might have been Grom.

Thank you

I was looking into trying this company. Has anyone used the ghost box?

Looks like it plugs into factory unit and has a good power boost at 50w 4 channel.

Their website is pretty vague, but their install video shows it to be a radio eliminator, not a intercept of control and signal. https://youtu.be/7HZdKOVis9E?t=40

There is nowhere to plug your radio in if you want to keep that. They only note to reinstall a unpowered radio to keep that oem look.

I have one installed in my R. I wanted to remove the Sony aftermarket radio and put the stock one back in. Problem is it will not light up the factory radio AND use the Ghost Box. It's either or. My mechanic is making a harness so that the radio will light up and I could use AM/FM radio or CDs if I want or switch to the Bluetooth via the Ghostbox.
