$229.00

I think I saw the same radio on the SEMA show on TV...Greg are you trying to get your posts up doing one sentince in each post...lol...

My 4 year old likes to hit buttons at the wrong time

How does the IPod sound. On My 66 Mustang it sounds pretty hollow even with 200 watts. To me the IPod part of the radio sucked. No one that I know so far has built into the radio an amp for the IPod. That is for sure necessary.

thanks for the reply guys. I'm not really looking for a radio now, just wondering if the retrosound units are of good quality. They seem to have some nice features. I really don't like the custom autosound units. They look kinda cheap and I have heard of numerous quality issues.

Those retrosound units look pretty nice. I used to install stereos for a living, and have nothing good to say about the custom autosound units. Sound quality, reception, overall look, all pretty much sucked.

I think i was the one you were referring to as the one who posted it earlier. And no i didn't get it yet. I'm planning on it though, but i'm waiting to hear someone else give a review first. :D

I don't have a stereo at all as of right now, and i may have to pull the trigger regardless this summer. I don't really care about *great* sound quality. Whatever will play my iPod will be good enough for me. I'm mainly concerned about durability.

I was cruising the forums and came across this post, I saw this radio (Retrosound) on Oldspower.com A buddy of mine that has a 68 Camaro (I've got a '69 z28 ) just got this radio (he's got a walnut dash), I guess Classic Industries is selling it now too, that's where he got it from-- I have to say it's pretty cool, he plugs his flash drive right in the front of the face of it and plays his mp3's right off the drive!--- he was telling me how the brackets worked, the company has a pretty cool website www.retrosoundusa.com (http://www.retrosoundusa.com) I checked their support section, they've got videos and a slideshow on an install---

--- I'll check it out his install job closer at the pomona show in a few weeks--- I really like this forum, i've been lurking for a few months now deciding whether or not to go all digital on my dash... that's another thread--- anyway I think I'll pop for one of these next month when the taxes come in--- Thanks for the thread, see you guys around...

noticed Jegs is selling them now too

Is the sound quality or overall quality good? I'm perplexed by the threads stating Customautosound devices are poor quality, but I want my dash to look stock. What's your advice?
Thanks in advance
