Slidebar Radio for Classic Cars

This Custom Autosound Slidebar Classic Car Radio features a bar that actuates the classic screen to make it display or disappear. It functions just like the bar did on original radios to change from AM to FM, but instead, it controls which face displays. The Slidebar radio features a digital tuner with 300 watts of power (45 W x 4 RMS or constant), built-in Bluetooth, a USB port, a CD changer controller (CD Changer sold separately). In addition to the features just listed, the Slidebar radio is the only in-dash radio that Custom Autosound offers that has a subwoofer pre-out and multi-color display so that you can change the color of the display to match your digital gauges or simply to the color you prefer. The Slidebar radio fits in your stock dash location without any modifications required. Simply put, this is the best radio that Custom Autosound has produced.

Built-In Bluetooth

Stay connected on the road with the Slidebar Radio, built for your 1957 Chevy. A built-in microphone lets you take calls hands-free, keeping you safe and street-legal while you drive. This radio also features built-in Bluetooth, so you can wirelessly stream your favorite audio right through your classic vehicle's speakers, whether that's Spotify, Pandora, Apple Music, podcasts, or Sirius XM for subscribers.

AM/FM + AUX + USB + 300W Peak Power

The Slidebar Radio for your 1957 Chevy features an AM/FM stereo with 25 presets (15 FM and 10 AM), a USB port for flash drives, a CD changer controller, and an RCA auxiliary input. The USB port on the back of the unit lets you play songs from a thumb drive and charge your devices, though it doesn't support direct audio playback from connected devices.

With 300 watts of peak power across 4 channels, the Slidebar Radio matches the output of the top of the line Custom Autosound models. For the best sound quality without adding an amplifier, this radio delivers. And if you're after truly amazing sound, pairing it with an amplifier takes things even further.

Optional CD

Still enjoy listening to CDs? Add the CD-1 external CD player, which plugs directly into the back of the Slidebar Radio. This compact 1/2 DIN device measures 7" x 1" x 7" and comes with a 10-foot cable for flexible placement. Mount it under a seat, in the glove box, under the dash, in the trunk, in a custom console, or anywhere else it fits within your vehicle's interior.

4 Channel + Subwoofer Pre-Outs

Looking to add an amplifier? The Slidebar Radio for your 1957 Chevy comes ready with 4 channel pre-outs for your speakers, plus a dedicated subwoofer pre-out and onboard subwoofer control. For a 4 channel amplifier setup, you can simply leave the subwoofer pre-out unused. Going with a 5 channel amplifier instead? Connect the subwoofer RCA cable to the pre-out on the back of the radio, and you'll be able to adjust subwoofer level right from the radio itself. A bass knob is still our top recommendation for quick, easy control, but the built-in subwoofer control is a solid option if you'd rather skip it.

7 Color LCD Display

The Slidebar Radio's display color is fully customizable to complement your vehicle's exterior, interior, or existing interior lighting. Beyond the multi-color display, you can also fine-tune the LCD brightness on a scale of 0-7. Since everyone has a different comfort level when driving at night, this feature lets you dial in the perfect brightness for your eyes.

Fits 1957 Chevy Original Dash Opening

The Slidebar Radio fits neatly into your vehicle's original dash location, so you get Bluetooth without cutting into your dash or compromising the classic, original look of your 1957 Chevy.

Arrives Ready to Install

Installation is simple with the Slidebar Radio, since it arrives ready to install right out of the box. There's no need to assemble anything yourself: the shafts are already set to fit your stock dash opening, and the nose piece is pre-attached. Skip the hassle of setting knob spacing, adjusting knob height, test fitting, or risking dash scratches during assembly.

Since the radio comes pre-assembled, you'll spend less time on installation and more time back on the road enjoying your classic truck. And if you're having a professional handle the install, that's one less hour, sometimes two, of labor you'll need to pay for.

Working on classic cars is part of the fun, but when it comes to installation, we'd rather you spend that time driving.

2 Year Warranty

We stand behind the products we sell and so does Custom Autosound. All Slidebar radios come backed by a 2 year warranty.
