I have a new infra-red remote control radio mounted in the metal glove-box of my anti-truck '55 210. We used an infra-red extension I ordered off the web--less than $40--(the sender end of the device was mounted on the inside of the glove-box door so it would be opposite the pick-up on the radio when the door was closed and the device pickup was mounted in the speaker cavity.) We just point the remote and the speaker and it works just fine. The connection wire is fairly long so you could mount the pick-up almost any inconspicuous place on your dash and it would work well. Hope this helps.
