Over the last 2.5 years, I've faced challenges with my Mercedes. One day, the transmission broke while I was driving to work. Instead of giving up on the car, I found a similar one on Craigslist, removed its transmission, and installed it in mine. I'm also very particular about my car's interior, wanting it to look OEM. To add Bluetooth audio controls without compromising the original look, I created a 3D-printed controller and modified a Bluetooth transmitter. The finished product, as shown, blends seamlessly with the car's appearance and lets the driver control Bluetooth functions like skipping tracks, reversing, playing/pausing, and taking phone calls.
Completed design, manufacturing, and installation in September 2023 with OEM look all over Bluetooth.
