These radios are all hand built in the states.  The manufacture has been trying to ship these radios as soon as possible and eventually have them in stock to ship immediately.  At the present time that hasn’t been possible.  I try to give you as accurate a time frame for shipping as I can but do to situations that are out of my control sometimes the shipping takes longer than I would like.  I welcome calls or emails for updates and questions on shipping.  My goal is to give you the best service possible.

FMR-1 AM/FM Receiver

CONTACT ME AT THE ABOVE PHONE NUMBER!

Since many radios lack a tone control, this can limit the usability of the FMR-1 by forcing the addition of external controls on the radio chassis which are hard to access and operate. Many radios of the 1950’s and 1960’s used a tone switch which can now be configured to control the behavior of the volume control. Even if the radio has no tone control or tone switch, a simple SPST switch is all that needs to be added for full volume/tone/balance/fader support! This can be extremely helpful on remote-head and hang-on radios of the 1930’s and 1940’s. 

    With this unique method, the switch controls whether the volume control acts like a normal volume control or as the tone control with full virtual balance/fader support. The volume of the radio is always maintained through a cleaver software algorithm so the user is never blasted out if the volume control is left to high. Of course you can still add external controls if desired.

    Another new feature that allows the use of OEM grounded wiper balance controls. With so many original radios using a grounded wiper style balance control, our dealers were looking for a solution. By adding a simple pull-up resistor, the FMR-1 can now use a grounded wiper control for balance. While this arrangement normally presents a problem with the resulting control being extremely non-linear, the powerful microprocessor on the FMR-1 is able to perform the complex math required to correct for this with ease. The result is a balance control that works just like original.

Just added! Two new features allow even more original controls to be used with the FMR-1!

     ALL factory fader controls are now supported including grounded wiper, multiple wiper and impedances as low as 10 ohms! Using unique circuitry, this is accomplished without any substantial power being dissipated in the control. No longer are factory fader controls off limits!

   Tone rheostats and tone controls with grounded wipers can now be connected to the FMR-1 without modification. This saves time and money by not requiring these controls to be replaced with a standard potentiometer.

The FMR-1 is an exciting new product from Aurora Design LLC that opens up a new world of possibilities for early automotive radios. By replacing the electronics in an original radio with modern digital electronics, any radio can be brought up to today’s standards, performance and reliability.

    Designed to meet automotive OEM and SAE performance specifications, the FMR-1 represents a no compromise design. All critical components are full automotive OEM grade parts, not lower cost, lower quality parts designed for aftermarket/consumer products. Every aspect of the design and operation of the FMR-1, no matter how insignificant was scrutinized, resulting in a product that performs beyond the expectations of even the most demanding user.

    Through the use of sophisticated algorithms and a custom RealTimeOperatingSystem (RTOS), the FMR-1 offers unprecedented levels of features and performance. Working equally well with any original tuner (inductive, capacitive and resistive) the FMR-1 offers smooth and precise tuning rivaling the best analog tuners available. Installation time is significantly reduced since the FMR-1 easily adapts to just about any radio configuration from the 1930’s thru the 1980’s.

Imagine, complicated and time consuming modifications to the tuners used on the Hudson/Nash Ramblers and Metropolitans, 1930’s Philco-Ford or 1940’s Zenith-Ford radios is a thing of the past! Even the complicated Rotomatic tuner used on the 1940 Zenith-Ford radio that switches between a variable capacitor for manual tuning and variable inductors for preset tuning is handled without any modifications by the FMR-1!

    The automotive grade receiver is extremely robust and offers such features as noise blankers which help eliminate ignition and generator/alternator noise and an automatic bandwidth filter that continuously adjusts from narrow to wide for optimum performance in all situations.

    The digitally controlled power amplifier provides up to 4 X 45W of output power and is fully protected against over-voltages, shorts between lines as well as to ground or power. It is controlled by the onboard microprocessor and intelligently monitors the speaker connections and makes decisions such as enabling or disabling the balance and fader controls based on these readings. It uses a unique Class SB topology similar to standard Class AB while using only 1/3 the power at normal listening levels resulting in less heat being generated.

    Five fully buffered line level outputs, four for front/rear channels and one for subwoofer, allow the FMR-1 to drive out-board amps for those who wish to add even more audio power.

    Stereo auxiliary inputs are provided for adding other audio sources such as iPod’s®, MP3 players, CD players, satellite radios, etc.

    Signal Seeking radios like the GM/Delco® Wonderbar®, Ford® Town & Country® and Chrysler® Electro-Touch® radios are fully supported including features like sensitivity controls (Town & Country). By combining the unsurpassed performance of the FMR-1‘s AM/FM receiver with its high performance microprocessor, it finds the stations every time.

    Under the skin, the FMR-1 was designed to be as robust as the operating features it offers. Meeting industry performance specification like SAE J1113-42, the FMR-1 cannot be damaged by battery reversal, double battery jump starts, alternator disconnects (load dump), etc. Even if a careless mechanic accidentally connects the battery up backwards, the FMR-1 is completely protected.

    Aurora Design automotive products are built in a 33,000 sq. ft., ISO 9001:2000 facility located in the USA. With a capacity to place 1,800,000 components per day, 2D and 3D X-Ray inspection and full traceability back to the component level, the highest quality assemblies are assured.

BT-1 Bluetooth Adapter

$175.00

Aurora Design provides the only fully integrated Bluetooth

solution for classic vehicles and hot rods!

While anyone can buy a cheap off-the-shelf Bluetooth solution with its hanging cords, cigarette lighter adapters (sorry all you 6 volt and 12 volt positive ground guys are just out of luck) and a microphone and buttons that are hard to access (how about those cars with the cigarette lighter in the ash tray), Aurora Design offers a fully integrated solution with unrivaled features.

The BT-1 was designed from the ground up to fully integrate with the FMR-1 AM/FM receiver offering features and performance that can’t be matched in cheap off-the-shelf products. Fully integrated into the radio, there’s nothing for you to fumble with or cords you have to connect to use.

A blue LED in the radio dial proudly indicates the Bluetooth status just like a modern car. When a call comes in, the radio softly mutes and the call comes up. The LED on the FMR-1 will change color to let you know you are in the Bluetooth mode. No wasting the radio’s Auxiliary input on a Bluetooth dongle. No fumbling for knobs or switches to select the Bluetooth input. No fumbling for little buttons on the adapter or menus on your phone. No switching back to the radio in the middle of a phone call if no one is talking for a few seconds, or when playing streaming audio if it goes quiet. The FMR-1 and the BT-1 talk to each other to keep in perfect harmony, just like a modern Bluetooth equipped car.

The microphone on the BT-1 is placeable anywhere in the car for best performance. Rather than having your microphone down around your feet, or in your ashtray, wherever your cigarette lighter happens to be, the BT-1’s microphone comes with a 9.8’ (3m) cord so it can be place in the best spot for your car. Notice on most modern cars with hands-free operation, the microphone is mounted on the headliner right behind the windshield. With the BT-1’s microphone this can also be accomplished. Don’t try this with an aftermarket solution unless your cigarette lighter happens to be in your headliner!

Controlling streaming audio playback is just as easy. Just as you would tune the radio to a different channel to hear different music, by simply tuning the radio up or down while streaming, the BT-1 will skip to the next/previous song. No little buttons or menus to fumble with, just use the same controls on your radio you normally use! 

No other product can boast the easy of use, performance and features of the BT-1. Of course you can add any old off-the-shelf Bluetooth adapter to the FMR-1... but with the BT-1 available, why would you ever want to?

   Imagine cruising down the road in your classic vehicle or hotrod with with your favorite music streaming from it’s original radio. A call comes in on your smart phone and the radio softly mutes as the call comes in over the radio. Sound impossible?

    Not with the new BT-1 from Aurora Design LLC! With the BT-1, any radio that has been converted with an FMR-1 can be brought up to todays standards. Streaming music from your Bluetooth enabled MP3 player or smart phone, or taking hands-free calls, it’s all possible with the BT-1.

    With a remote mounted microphone and a simple user interface, the BT-1 can easily connect to most any Bluetooth device that supports audio streaming or hands free phone calls. Operation is completely automatic never requiring any input from the user. When you start streaming music on your device, the BT-1 will immediately mute the radio and start playing the streaming audio. If a call comes in, the BT-1 will again mute the radio and allow you to take the call. When the call ends or you stop streaming music, the BT-1 tells the radio to go back to its normal mode. No waiting or having to fiddle with controls on the radio as required by lesser solutions. A proprietary communication link between the BT-1 and FMR-1 does all the work for you ensuring they always work in harmony.

    Designed to meet automotive OEM and SAE performance specifications, the BT-1 represents a no compromise design. All critical components are full automotive OEM grade parts, not lower cost, lower quality parts designed for aftermarket/consumer products. Every aspect of the design and operation of the BT-1, no matter how insignificant was scrutinized, resulting in a product that performs beyond the expectations of even the most demanding user.

    Unlike many aftermarket Bluetooth products that are not certified or have been heavily modified, the BT-1 is based on a fully certified module. With certifications for FCC, IC, CE and the Bluetooth SIG, you are assured of the most robust, compatible product available.

   Aurora Design automotive products are built in a 33,000 sq. ft., ISO 9001:2000 facility located in the USA. With a capacity to place 1,800,000 components per day, 2D and 3D X-Ray inspection and full traceability back to the component level, the highest quality assemblies are assured.

Not 100% exactly like the originals. But they fit, with the correct knobs and pushbuttons! Car manufacturers often adapted production radios to fit new or low-volume models. For example, in 1964 GM slightly modified their full-size passenger car manual-tune radios to fit their trucks. The only difference between the 1964 Impala radio and the 1964-66 Chevy Truck radio is the tuning shaft bushing and the knobs. We don't make a manual-tune radio, but we do make a 1964 AM/FM top-of-the-line radio. By modifying the shafts and replacing the knobs, we can supply a radio that fits perfectly and looks authentic, even though GM never offered this option. Our DREAM LINE Radios are made from the top-of-the-line models for that year.               DREAM LINE REPRO RADIOS ALREADY AVAILABLE Despite the popularity of and demand for our radios, most radios ship within a week!
