New radio with factory look
Hi guys.
Im quite new to the site (been lurking for a while) So I want to put in a new radio, but I want one that will fit in to the original dash. Had a look at RetroSound, but they seem to be a bit limited if you want to expand the speaker system. Im not going to build any "monster, wake up the neighbourhood" system. But would like to add a bit more punch than you would get out of the original "4 in the corners" system:-) Anyone here that has some experience with these "retro/factory look" radios, and could give me some pointers? |

Re: New radio with factory look
I have a Retro Sound stereo in my truck and love it. The rear auxiliary input takes care of my XM radio, the USB input eliminates the need for carrying around CD's.

Re: New radio with factory look
Yea thatīs one of the things I like about it too. I hate having CDīs rattling around in the car.
What I miss on it is RCA, I had a look on RetroSound web page and apparantly they will soon have an ugraded version. Tom. |

Re: New radio with factory look
You are right S10Fan, I missed that when I looked at it before. Think I will order one.
Thanks! Tom. |
