Good Morning: Restoring a 1928 Chevy truck, and will go 12 volt. I want a stereo in the truck, but I don't want it to show. I will disguise or hide it, but I have looked now for what I would call a mini car stereo; one without a CD rom and one without all the bells and whistles. I want a plain basic AM FM stereo so I can listen while I go down the road.... but SMALL... you can buy tiny battery powered units to hang on your belt; do they make a small 12 volt car stereo that will drive basic car speakers? and if so, who makes it and where do I find one? I already spent an hour on Ebay and Amazon looking... anyone have a good idea?

I've been looking for a similar thing, try a search for "secret audio SST", its a neat little unit, you can hide the main part, then you just have the display to mount, and you can hide that almost anywhere, and with its remote you don't have to even see or reach the hidden parts. Check it out, Rob

Thanks Rob....

Jensen makes one that John Deere dealers sell (at least ours, anyway). They put these in skid loaders and such.

There are some Marine radios that have a corded remote. You can mount the stereo wherever you want and then all you have to do is velcro your remote somewhere.
