If you want to stay period correct, the best solution is to go for a NOS Becker radio (do a search with Becker as a keyword), and  ipod adapter.
Needless to say this is not going to be bluetooth compatible. ;D

Becker used to sell a modern version of the Mexico with bluetooth and gps nav capabilities, but t seems to be NLA.

What the other guy said.  Most pinstripe beckers have a plug in the back and you can buy a cable on ebay that lets you plug in an mp3 player.  Doesn't do anything else except let you input audio through a 1/8" jack.     Don't mix early becker with modern speakers - you won't like the sound.  Early becker with early speakers sounds great.
