Custom Radio

[BR3W CITY]

There are some very cool threads on places like Hackaday talking about using o.e. radio's to control a modern unit. They use already-ruined radios, putting a rheostat or potentiometer on each knob, then use an internally powered Arduino board to control simple functions on a more modern unit mounted in a glovebox or console. Its by no means plug and play, and can only do simple tasks like volume and track switching...but is a very cool DIY option if anyone has small electronics skillz.
