Our take on the Dual XC4100

The Dual XC4100 cassette player will go where most other stereos won't — into the "shaft-style" dash openings of many older cars. But even if the car is dated, the XC4100 is ready for the future — just connect your iPod or other portable player to the handy front-panel auxiliary input, and transport your vintage vehicle into the digital age.

Expand your system and ramp up the output by connecting an amp or powered sub to the preamp outputs. And track down your favorite stations with the AM/FM tuner's old-school analog tuning knob — an LED indicator lets you know when you've got an FM stereo signal locked in.

Inexpensive yet performs well as a radio. I like the none electronic tuner when using a battery cutoff ie. storage or security.

Dual XC4100

Written By DavidBar, Frisco, TX on Friday, September 09, 2011
 
Good selection of features, and low cost provided best bang for the buck for this "retro" shaft-mount radio in my CJ7 Jeep. I did not have to drill or cut my dash, and was able to quickly adjust the shaft screws for the proper mounting depth. The AUX input is a very nice feature allowing me to plug in my iPod Shuffle. I need to also compliment Crutchfield's technical service department. When the AM Band reception did not work, they actually helped me troubleshoot a problem with my antenna, which fixed the problem. My first purchase from Crutchfield....I will be back.

Works for me!

Written By MidnightMike, Alsip, Illinois on Thursday, June 30, 2011
 
I own a 1968 Buick Skylark, and it came with a AM radio, and that one lonely speaker on top of the dash. I wanted to keep the original look of the radio in the dash so I mounted this radio in the glove box, and installed two 6X9 speakers in the back. This little radio packs a nice punch, and I love the AUX input so I can play my MP3 player as well. I like the manual tuning feature on this radio because I do not have a dedicated line coming from the car to keep the clock, and pre-sets intact from a modern digital radio. Every time I shut the car off, all my pre-sets would be gone, so this Dual works great! I leave it set to the oldies channel here in Chicago when I want to listen to the radio, and when I want to listen to my MP3 mix from my MP3 player, I just plug it in. Great product, and easy to install. I am buying another one for my other '68!

Okay, but too many shortcomings

Written By Ruffin, Charleston, SC on Wednesday, May 04, 2011
 
I replaced an older stock radio with this to add its auxiliary port, letting me listen to iPods
and my Android phone. Mission marginally accomplished. There are some drawbacks,
namely max volume, lack of station favorites, two speaker output, and no cassette
rewind.

Remember the five or so buttons old dial-based radios had that allowed you to
remember stations? None of that here. You have to retune from scratch each time. No
favorites. It does tune fairly well, but tuning anew each time is a pain.

Many podcasts are very quiet. The deck's built-in amplifier isn't much, and won't let me
make up for the podcasts' low volume. I can't listen to many podcasts with the windows
down, and struggle with a few even with them up. (I've got normal hearing.)

Remember that most cars these days -- even my regular cab Dakota -- have at least four
speakers. This only has outputs for two.

The lack of a cassette rewind is regrettable. I've also had the tape player stop working
with a few tapes, once making a fairly nasty smell. (The deck still works.) You also can't
listen to the radio while fast forwarding.

This is a no-nonsense, bare bones deck, but there are stronger, fully-featured, CD-
based, auxiliary port equipped decks on sale here for a few bucks more. Unless you
absolutely have to have a cassette player, trade up. Even if you do, check out your other
options. If you've got an old tape walkman, consider hooking that up to your CD deck's
aux port!

I purchased this radio to replace the one in our International 1086 tractor. Fit
perfect except for bolting it in. Wasn't hard to fix. More stations and
reception the the old one ever had. Great product....Thanks.....Will do business
again.
