i've read some reviews that the frankfurt mb is made in China ... and is average at best.

Scot, Phone controls volume on the OutofSight Amp. On other cars I included the radio signal to the amp but I never listen to the radio. In the old days it was for AM traffic but with Google Maps no more.
In our Honda we have SiriusXM so we don't listen to local stations. If you've got an account and a bluetooth adapter for your radio you can play it from your phone.
There's also an app and website called RadioGarden that enables you to listen to a huge number of radio stations across the world for free that should also allow you to play through the bluetooth adapter.

Yes, with phone volume.
We have a stereo installer that visits both locations.
Currently installing 5 systems. Everybody gets what they want.
My own system is icu 130 focal in front, 690 ac focal under rear seats. My dash wood is speaker delete so nothing there and my doors are ashtray delete so no tweeters there. That means the front and rear speakers are full range. The icu 130 speakers are a special thin design to let them fit easier in front. Mark 4 out of sight audio under rear seat with a Becker radio dummy in the AC panel.
The Focal ICU 130 is a pair of 5.25-inch 2-way coaxial car speakers that feature a shallow 1.9-inch mounting depth
As a side note- Amazon is much cheaper than crutchfield when buying speakers.

I'm going to use the same system...
i think i'm going to stay with the frankfurt and go with out of sight audio mk4.
Great thread. I think for my Bav, I might gut the old stereo it came with and just fill it with a BT receiver and LED light to look like it’s functioning. I’ll never use the radio function, so bt with some sort of custom/vintage looking phone mount for map needs will probably be the path..
Looking forward to seeing your car, Scott! You think you’ll have it at the Deutsche Klassic?
