How long before it goes flat? (at a reasonable volume).

Have you tried one? I recall a colleague had something like it and seemed to work fine. I've got some spare speakers that could go with it.

Not dust proof, but at least you can shout at her, instead of faffing about looking for your phone, or the remote.
word for today- Faffing - to faff in the present tense.

I've never run it flat, but they seem to hold charge for ages.

This is what the guy on Capripower posted:
"Wanted to share a little set up I’ve just been messing with that might interest some.
I have my original stereo, however I don’t have an aerial, and I don’t want to drill one into the wing. So my options are everything other than radio.
I got the cassette deck working and using a Bluetooth cassette it sounded terrible.
So I bought this little board for next to nothing:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/193538883203
Also bought some pin din adapters:
https://amzn.eu/d/8aFdrHN
Wired up the power and earth with some spade connectors and the sound is great compared to the cassette solution. All for under a tenner.
You can buy that board with an acrylic case that I wish I’d got, as I’m now making one. Should hide nicely in behind the dash, I keep the original look and don’t have to drill holes and hide another head unit anywhere. The wire is far to thick but all I had sitting around at the time".
