Alpine radio install

[bnam]

Just installed this CDE-135BT Alpine radio in my '74 - along with new speakers on the rear shelf. Sounds pretty good. I positioned the hands free phone mic on the console itself and it picks up my voice clearly. Downsides -- the radio said iphone and Pandora ready. But, Pandora works only on Andriod BB but not iOS. I also wonder if I should have picked up the HD radio version instead.

I built a new shelf with particle board from HD, but when I got the clips from Max I realized the board is a slightly too thick. Where can I get the right thickness board? I also need to get some Marine blue vinyl to cover it. Sources? Need to check if Dave sell material by the yard.

You probably don't need 'em...Just use some strategically placed Velcro--in actuality the package shelf is pretty well jammed in place between the body and the rear seat back, so unless you roll the car it's not going anywhere...
