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.
