Reviving Retro Car Phones with Modern Technology

A software engineer has designed a Bluetooth controller that connects a vintage 1993 Mitsubishi 3000GT car phone to a modern smartphone, allowing it to send and receive calls, use the handsfree microphone, and even work with Siri and Google Assistant. The controller sits between the DiamondTel car phone and any modern cell phone, acting as a rudimentary headless CarPlay or Android Auto interface. The system has limitations, but it's a cool and unique way to integrate vintage tech with modern technology.

Reviving Retro Car Phones with Modern Technology

A Bluetooth adapter has been developed by Jeff Lau that allows a 1990s car phone to connect to a modern smartphone. The adapter is a plug-in module that hooks up to the phone’s base station in the trunk and communicates directly with all the existing systems. The main components of the upgrade kit are a BM62 Bluetooth module that connects to a modern phone, a PIC18F27Q43 microcontroller to implement the car phone’s interface and menus, and several analog chips to process the audio. The project’s GitHub page documents all of the findings, making it easy for anyone with a similar system to implement their own upgrades.
