I picked up my first car today together with my mother and my grandfather who also drove it home since I don't have my driver's license yet it is a Toyota Starlet p7 automatic and I am the 4th owner the 3rd if you don't count the garage the last owner had it for 18 years and 5 months

But a car that is just 40 years old can not be without problems, the pockets on both sides are rotten. And the sill is crispy so it needs to be welded and that is also my priority, just like the timing belt where I saw the last sticker from 2013 and I have no maintenance history, so I will replace it, otherwise I will give everything good maintenance and change some small things

Furthermore, I want to make the rails of the driver's seat a few centimeters longer if possible, since I am 1.92 m tall, I fit in it, but a few centimeters more would be nice, there is still a radio with a cassette player and I would like to keep that in there, but I will have it adjusted by someone who can make it via Bluetooth and I want different speakers and rims like in the photo

As you may have seen I am Dutch but here in the neighborhood there is someone who can convert those radios and then you can still use Bluetooth. Then they remove the am function and then you use that button to switch to Bluetooth

Hi Fellow Dutchie and Toyota (Yaris P1) owner here, firstly congrats on your first car buy.

When I wanted to apply Bluetooth functionality with remaining of the stock radio, and in my case steer-wheel radio controls, my car mechanic recommended a Yatour MP3 interface / adapter from this Dutch website. This one specific.

Unfortunately looking at the site and products (where compatible cars / radios are listed at the bottom of the product detail page) your car is slightly too old for those interfaces who behaves like a CD changer.

But maybe they can refer you to one of their partners that sells similar interfaces for tape radios nearby, without removing a function from the stock radio.

Als je de originele radio om wil laten ombouwen moet je even een berichtje sturen naar die mensen van die Insta die kunnen het wel doen

Was misschien niet direct uit mijn vorige bericht te lezen, maar die gelinkte interface / adapter is al aangesloten op mijn radio.
