Amazing product

Amazing sound quality. I used Cerwin Vega speakers with it and it is awesome. Look is spot on as factory and lost 5lbs in the process. The knobs and extra chrome made it have that pop. Extremely easy to install.

I bought this radio for my wife's 62 Beetle, it's perfect for it. She loves the ivory buttons and chrome knobs.

great sound

Exactly what I was looking for..am restoring a 79 Camaro and didn't want to cut the dash up to replace the "classic 70's AM/FM cassette" that came with the car. Easy installation if you have a bit of experience doing this. Thought maybe I would want an amp but after installing this unit it has all the sound that I need.

New Tunes and more features in my summer ride

I just installed this unit in my 74 TR6 . Not many options out there for this car if you don't want to hack up the dash. The M1B is a reasonable cost unit for the features included. Assembly was required and I had to trim the wing brackets to fit. I like the integral Blue Tooth feature. Other brands have external additional cost modules required. Its a bit more complicated then the old analog unit removed but sound quality and power is an order of magnitude better.

A must for classic cars

This is a very well thought out radio. The radio is capable of many fine tuned adjustments during installation. A must with classic cars. The radio works and sounds great. Highly recommend.

Works great.

This unit is not the easiest to install but it works great. I used it to replace a competitor 's unit which never worked well and then just quit after 8 months. Time will tell with the new one but so far it works great.

The device seems to work. The knobs..push on really hard..They should maybe attach with a tiny screw..I believe by pushing so hard the stems no longer function.. May have to order another one from some other place...not sure yet..

Seems ok but lots of assembly needed before instal. Also does not come with decal of radio face and want 17.00 for the little sticker which keeps from looking original. Too much and that much of a rip-off access.

Awesome unit.

Installed this in my wife's 1977 Beetle and she is very happy with it. More features than I really expected from this price point. I would definitely recommend one.

Overall, this does the job. Install was tedious but is very adjustable for fit. Faceplate was a little tight. I had to file my cover for the faceplate to fit through. Menu times out too fast. Keep having to re enter the fade and balance menu. Seemed loud enough with my 4 inch speakers. Blue tooth connects easy and works good. For the lower cost range I'd say it's OK and I'm satisfied.

87 Chev Squarebody Install

Finally got around to installing this in the truck. Nice sounding radio, even with 40 year old speakers, with a small foot print. Much smaller and lighter than the factory radio.

Good products. Quick service.

I ordered a RetroSound RetroRadio M1B with bezel and knobs for my 1966 El Camino. The order was drop shipped from RetroSound and came in a few days. I previously bought this radio for an 81 Corvette project and was happy with the features for the price. The unit is compact, full featured and a good value.

This was a cost effective way to upgrade my OEM AM radio with a AM/FM stereo. I had to cut down the provided bezel. However, a retrofit typically requires minor modifications.

Very nice radio. Fit in the dash of my 67 Camaro with no modifications. It's a must to download the installation pdf file I found on the Retro website. Lots of options for preset stations and adjustments.

Great Factory Look for 1983 CJ7!

Looks great and fits perfectly in my 1983 Jeep CJ7's factory dash. If you have a CJ and are looking for a modern replacement, this is a perfect look. Be prepared to get creative with the mounting brackets however, as they are slightly too wide to fit between the speedometer and the factory size 5-1/2" speakers (I installed the Kicker 46CSC54 series, and they fit in the factory mount perfectly). Aside from the brackets, the instructions and installation is very straightforward and easy to understand even for a beginner. I ran out of wiring to connect to the fuse box under the driver's side of the dash, so I recommend having extra on hand or using the leftover wiring from your last radio. Bonus points if you have ATO fuse taps on hand to make it a clean connection. I paired it with the Quadraphonic Quad4 amp to give it a bit of a sound boost, and the connection route for this was also extremely simple to do.

Very good radio!

This radio fit very nicely in my classic VW bug. I had to modify the mounting a bit (because it went into a 50 year old car.) I like the classic look and it still has bluetooth. I would highly recommend this radio.
