Classic car radios are brand new, modern radios that are designed to look old and fit in your original dash while providing you with the latest car audio technology. These radios allow you to keep your dash original without sacrificing the ability to play music via from you phone, add an amplifier, or even listen to an AM or FM station without the needle jumping on your because you hit a bump in the road. There are many different options available and prices range from $217 to $865. Most of the radios we sell are vehicle specific and come out of the box, ready to fit your dash and install. In addition, all of the radios we offer are backed by a 2 year warranty.
The USA-740 is the top of the line classic car radio from Custom Autosound. It has Bluetooth built-in, 5 channel pre-outs, dual AUX inputs (front 3.5mm and rear RCA), working rear knobs, and a 7 color LCD display to match your digital gauges or the color of your vehicle. In addition, the USA-740 also has the same featues you get on the lower priced radios including a 45W per channel output, the option to add a CD player, and a USB port on the back of the radio. This is the most popular Custom Autosound radio and it will fit in your original dash location without forcing you to hack up your dash. If you need a radio to fit in the dash of your classic car and you want Bluetooth, this is our "Go-to".
The Antique Automobile Radio OE Replica, or AAR radios are designed to look exactly like the original radio that came in your vehicle, yet provide you with the modern features and technology you expect today. These radios differ from the Custom Autosound radios in their attention to detail and year-specific differences. The AAR OE Replica radios are metal where they are supposed to metal, plastic where they are supposed to be plastic, and the knobs are year and model specific. These radios have Bluetooth built-in, and the microphone is hidden between the pushbuttons to keep things looking as close to original as possible. You don't need to add or see any wires running to a plug-in, external microphone. The needle on the tuner dial moves when you change stations, but the back-end of the radio is digital, you don't have to worry about the radio losing the station when you hit a bump in the road. If you are building a show quality classic car or if you have a Concours restoration, the OE Replica is the best classic car radio, in our opinion.
The Custom Autosound USA-230 is the best radio for the budget-minded, classic car owner simply looking to fill the hole. The USA-230 has the basic features you might expect in a modern radio. The sound quality of the USA-230 is going to be worse than both the USA-630 and the USA-740. But, if you just need something, it will do the trick. It is also possible to add Bluetooth to the USA-230, but you will not get hands-free calling. We offer a 12V RCA, Bluetooth adapter that will convert your AUX input to a Bluetooth connection, so if you just need some sound and you want Bluetooth on a budget, the USA-230, and the CCS-12VBT will do the trick.
The Custom Autosound Slidebar is the best classic car radio if you are looking for something that looks very close to the original, but you don't want to spend the $600+ on an AAR OE Replica radio. The Slidebar radios have a trap door design that shows a classic looking, analog dial that disappears and re-appears when you push the slidebar to the left or right. The Slidebar radio has many of the same features as the USA-740, but the Slidebar radio does not come with Bluetooth built-in. You can add Bluetooth to the Slidebar radio with the BluKit, which is sold separately. The Slidebar + BluKit package is offered at a discount to give you the same price as the USA-740. The Slidebar radio has limited fitment offerings, which is a drawback, but if your vehicle is available for your car, adding it with the BluKit is one of the best options you have. From a features standpoint, the Slidebar has an AM/FM digital tuner, USB port, AUX input, subwoofer pre-out and control, a 7 color LCD display, and working rear knobs. The Slidebar radio is a more original looking USA-740 without Bluetooth built-in, but you can get Bluetooth added on for the same overall price.
The USA-630 is the middle-tier radio from Custom Autosound and features an AM/FM digital tuner, auxiliary input, and a USB port. The USA-630 will also allow you to add hands-free Bluetooth technology when you purchase the BluKit (sold separately). In addition to adding Bluetooth, you can also add a CD player with the CD-1 external CD player, which can mount in the glove box, under your dash, under a seat, or in the trunk. The USA-630 comes with an officially licensed GM or Ford logo for those specific vehicles which the USA-740 does not. The display on the USA-630 is a negative LCD display that has white letters and numbers with a black background.
The Custom Autosound SecretAudio is the original hidden, classic car radio. The SecretAudio SST-V is the latest version and includes Bluetooth built-in. The SecretAudio SST-V consists of a "Black Box" style radio that can be mounted under a seat, in the drunk, in the glovebox, or wherever else you may have room. Then, an LCD display connects to the black box and you can mount the display by your dash, in your dash, in the glovebox, or in a console for a sleek, hidden appearance. The SecretAudio SST-V allows you to keep your factory radio in the dash, or allows you to install a radio without cutting a hole if you have an older street rod that never came with a radio.
In terms of features, the SST-V has virtually everything you would want with an AM/FM digital tuner, Bluetooth, USB, and AUX. You can add a CD player by purchasing the CD-1 separately. In order to get AM/FM reception, you will need to ensure that your antenna cable reaches the black box, or you can opt for our hidden amplified antenna. The box itself measures 6.5" (D) x 6.7" (W) x 1.96" (H). The display measures 2" (H) x 5" (W) x 1" (D) and it connects to the SST-V with a 10 foot long cable. If you need a longer cable we offer extension cords. Finally, the SST-V comes with a hockey-puck style remote control which allows you to turn the unit on and off, adjust volume, and adjust tracks.
If the dash in your classic car has been cut to accomodate a DIN size radio, the Custom Autosound USA4-DIN radio is the best option to keep things look classic. The USA4-DIN radio features a ribbed chrome face with round knobs on either side to give you a DIN size radio, but something that looks like it's old. The USA4-DIN is designed to look as close as possible to one of the USA series radios but with a "Chrome Faceplate." This radio has virtually all of the features you want in a modern radio with AM/FM, Bluetooth, CD, USB, and an AUX input. The faceplate folds down and detaaches to deter theft and the CD playder plays both standard and MP3 CDs.
If you grew up with car audio and you want the best sound possible, you may say to yourself, "I don't need a radio, I just need to connect my phone to my amplifier." You can put a USA-230 in the dash or leave the stock radio in the dash and bypass it completely. Instead, you spend the money on a nice amplifier and some nice speakers. With our 12V Bluetooth receiver, you connect the device to power (switched most likely) and ground. Then, you can play your songs from your phone through your amplifier and get amazing sound quality. This is like having a Bluetooth speaker in your car, but it will sound way better and it will run off of 12 volts. Our 12V Bluetooth adapter uses the latest in Bluetooth technology with the APT-X chip. It has two channel RCA connections to go into your amplifier. You adjust volume with your phone and away you go.
