....a 12v powered bluetooth car speaker?

I have searched and just find Bluetooth speakers suitable for phone calls, which is not what I am after.

I have recently acquired a 1981 Mercedes 500 SEL and obviously 33 year old stereo and speaker technology is pretty dismal.

I am reluctant to just change the headunit as it would be nice to maintain the originality and I would rather not stick some horrendously modern looking modern tat in the centre console.

So what I am after is a speaker/s that can be powered by 12v so it/they can remain in situ and not require charging.

It would be great to utilise the standard speaker locations, but I appreciate that is unlikely.

Thanks in advance for anyone that can point me in the right direction.

Thanks for the replies.

James i did the same search prior to posting, as you say they are focused on phone call taking and making. I want something purely to play music through - there was one that looked a possibility but the reviews indicated it was poor for playing music.

Feef, i haven't checked yet, but assumed probably not as it is so old and I am not sure CD's existed back in 1981 so nothing additional to connect.

Vx220 - nothing showing buddy ?
