Our oldest grand daughter has been driving for some time now. Her little hand-me-down SUV was outfitted with new tires, brakes and cleared for safety long before she began the process of learning to drive it. Equipped with the original radio in it's non-working state, the vehicle has provided a silent ride to date. She hasn't complained, but did check into the cost of repairing the accessory. She opted to purchase gasoline instead, a lot of gasoline. Balancing the cost to repair the am/fm radio with cd player vs an after market installation of one with bluetooth capabilities as well as compatibility with her music player and phone, it required little thought.
Ol' Abner had searched for a couple of weeks, finding acceptable radios in places where the installation kit and other tools to make it fit and play properly seemed elusive. It was our mission today to find the entire set of equipment. Grand daughter's birthday is later this week and we were out of time. He is distraught because he will be unable to go install it himself, but found a workable alternative with a little help from son-in-law.
The package is on it's way and she should be able to enjoy her tunes as she rides, and talk on her phone hands-free. It was Son's birthday today, and no package is headed it's way to him. We did have a nice phone conversation with him, but I regret that not even a card was mailed. We'll have to make that one up to him!
