Is it also made for a '69 Camaro?

X33,

heres a link:

Any luck these are better than the "classic auto sound" stereos?

I have something similar in mine and I love it. I love the stock look with all the digital features. KIller deal, wish they had this available a few years ago when I did mine.

Is there a power antenna hookup in the wire harnesss?

That was something I had to have with mine

Is it also made for a '69 Camaro?yes they are, we will be installing one in our LM1 convertible

Any luck these are better than the "classic auto sound" stereos?
They know them real well, I explained my serious dislike for their crap and I was assured I would be pleased with the sound.

Man those are nice. Wish I had my economic stimulus check right now. I know what I would stimulate.

Anyone with first hand reports on function/sound quality? I think I'm ready to pull the trigger on one, just don't want to end up in the same place as I was with my CAS, USA-6 POS.

Just bought one after hearing one in a 70 Chevelle...it sounded great compared to the one I put in which sounds similar to the one you have already have.

Quote from the Tri-Five board:

"I've used one of these and they are pretty impressive. I'm thinking seriously about getting one.

A relative of mine got one of these radios for his pro-touring Firebird. The look is 100% stock, very nice. I bet I played with it for about half an hour or more. There are only two things that I didn't like about it. The knobs have a feeling that is too light, like they should have more drag built in. The other issue that I had is that after a while of goofing with the radio it got "confused". My relative told me occasionally that happens, just turn it off and then on- probelm solved.

It's a little complicated to use, there's a lot there to run with just two knobs. But it doesn't take long to learn to use it. The sound seemed very good to me. Overall I think it's a really good product. I can't imagine spending hour and hours working on your car and then topping off all that work with a cheesy stereo or cutting a huge DIN sized hole for a modern stereo that looks out of place. There are plenty of us who leave the stock radio in the dash and then stick the real stereo under the seat or in the glove. This radio gives you another option."

Mike,
I'll give you a ring tomorrow and get one on order, might as well get it while you've got the free shipping and discount going. Thanks.

It has been a month since the last post...I was wondering if someone could post a review after listening to the radio. What type of speakers do you use with the radio, amp and how does the iPod sound with it.
Thanks Ken

I ordered one off e-pay 2 weeks ago (I didn't see the sponcers add here in time) and it will be 2 more weeks till I recieve it if I'm lucky. When I install it in my 69 Camaro I will post what I think about it. It looks good on paper and I'm expecting a great radio.

I should be receiving them anyday. Use can use any speaker.

Thanks Mike. I just called and placed my order and mentioned the 10%. However he didn't know anything about it. Ken
That is because it is me offering the discount, not them.

any new news on these radios, where are the i pod plugs ect. i was thinking old school booster eq and good 6x9s.

I hope to get them this week. They having taken longer to get than I hoped.

I got mine 2 days ago there are 2 RCA jacks on the rear of the radio, no direct connect for IPOD that I have seen. The radio looks good but is over priced in my opinion but no one makes a radio at least this good for our cars so you have no other choice unless you buy origanal Delco which is almost twice the price. If you follow what I'm saying.

Also read the instructs all the way through. For instance to preset the stations you don't pull-out on the push buttons like the original ones. You push-in and hold on the push buttons. The fader is a little strange also but it all works its just not the way you would think.

I have an original AM/FM in my '67. It works part time and even then it sounds like crap. My solution to the problem is to carry a portable "ghetto blaster", which I play while I drive and has the added advantage of sitting next to the lawn chair at shows.

Camaro dude,those RCA connections on back are input for MP3 player.You need adapter cable.Mine has no RCA out put, wish it did.Had it for a couple of years now.Sounds ok but lot of distortion when cranked up.

Thats what I figured. I was just saying there was no direct connection (USB port) like I have in 2 of my other cars.

I purchased one of these about a month ago and it takes about that long to learn how to use the thing. Its not like using a regular radio, for instance you have to wait up to 8 seconds after changing the radio station before turning off the radio or turning on the ipod. If you forget to do this the station indicator bar will get stuck at the end of the dial and you are unable to tune any radio station until you manually reset the radio. There are three ways you can reset it but if you are employed and have more important things on your mind ( like driving ) its easy to forget one of these three ways, which means another call to the company ( i need them on speed dial). At $600, the company should be a little more responsive, or at least include some instructions on all the intricacies. Another nuance is that you can not change the fade if you are ipod mode. You need to set this will in radio mode and then switch to ipod mode and once you are there you can't change it. And there is another thing that the ipod needs to be at a certain volume ( greater than the radio volume ) for the radio to recognize that the ipod is on and to then switch from radio mode to ipod mode. This is a lot ask of a driver - i can write code in 5 different languages including c++ but i feel like i need "Goose" from Top Gun to run the radio while i drive.

Finally ( this time i am serious) i am not sure how you are expected to fix the radio to the dash although this is probably not the fault of the radio manufacturer. They provide a skimpy metal strip with some holes in it but again, no instructions and i have no idea how this would be of any help. Delivery time is something lke 4-6 weeks i believe.

**Interesting "thread / information" Guys, but I think I will continue to
enjoy the "simple to use" , "crappy - mediocre sound quality" of my original AM/FM
Radio , with the single in-dash speaker !!

Hadn't seen any installed pics so I thought I contribute. The sound is surprisingly good, I've got the upgraded dual dash speaker and kenwood 4x6's in my kick panels and I'm very pleased. The controls are a bit quirky but once you've got the balance and fader where you want them it's pretty straight forward. There is a pretty good delay when I turn on my Zune (yes there are some of us who don't own a IPod), but it works real well.
Mounting was very much as an original radio and it looks great compared to a modern aftermarket head unit. I still need to groom the wiring a bit but it's pretty much another box checked...
I want to thank Mike for staying after the vendor and getting me a good discount on this piece.

I have one for sale if anybody is interested. Probably has about 10 hours on it. I just don't like it, the tuning is too twitchy for me. PM me if interested.

I got one and sent it back because the dial was crooked. When I got it back I did not like the way it tunes. so I asked for a refund.. guess what 25% restoking fee. MF>> He just told me he would sell it to someone else. I sent it back and they sent me another. I wasn't confident in that one. It is now installed with only two rear speakers and sounds ok. I just listen to the radio so the Ipod function doesn't affect me. There has got to be something better.. for 595+ ... oh well...really 25% restock.. get real..

Hey Len, thanks for the pictures the radio looks great. I sent you a PM with some questions. Thanks Ken

is there any talk about adressing the issues discussed here ??

On which issue? If your having a problem with one bought through us, call us and we will see if we can make it right. I am debating on whether I want to keep selling them next year based upon the feedback I have received since we did this sale. I have one in our convertible project as well, but have not used it yet as the car won;t be finished for another couple weeks.

I have been watching this thread, I think what people are talking about is the "bugs" surrounding changing channels switching back and forth between Ipod, having to reset the unit often etc.

This unit sounds like just I what I want, classic stock looks but with an IPod hookup, just hoping the oddities are addressed.

I think the title of this thread is funny. "Authentic Reproduction" Not sure why....

Gotta say my radio that I had converted works great with no issues. Never hooked up an Ipod to it but it works just fine otherwise

Reprising an old thread here but felt like I should at least give my opinion on this thread because of the negative comments others have written. Everyone has a right to be satisfied with a purchase but to be so negative about a product just because you have to read the instructions to learn how to use it or it doesn't mechanically work quite like you expect it to is, in my mind, just wrong. Remember, the real reason behind this product is to get an original look (which this does), to have a modern electronic radio with jacks for modern attachments (which this does), and to get decent sound (which this does). The sound is not going to blow the next car off the road, but then again, that's not what most are after here.

I just installed one of these radios and have to say that it sounds and looks pretty darn good. Mounting was simple. Easier than the original cause it's lighter and much smaller on the back end. To suport the back end, I just bent the original bracket 90 degrees and bolted it to the stud on the back of the radio. So I wouldn't have to cut or splice the new original looking camaro speaker wiring harness, I bought original style 56 series terminals and an eight gang connector, cut off the connector that came with the radio, crimped the new 56 series male terminals and placed them in the male end of the eight gang connector plug, removed the female terminals from the six gang connector on the factory stereo speaker harness, ran two new wires for the negative side of the back speakers, crimped new terminals on these wires, placed these terminals in the female end of the eight gang connector and connected to the male end. It sounds 100 times better than the original am/fm stereo radio and it has an Ipod connection and a power lead for a CD or MP3 player. It also has a power light up feature when you turn your lights on. The dials take a little getting used to but what's a few extra seconds. It's nothing more than the dials in a new car. The Ipod works fine and sounds great. $595 was a little steep but it was less than the original am/fm stereo I bought, had refurbished and had to buy special 8 - 10 ohm speakers for that sound like, well, crap.

When I first hooked this up, my mind immediately fast forwarded backwards to 1974. It caused me to remember my thoughts on the original late 60's/early 70's factory stereo systems. I remember that they had really bad sound quality. Everyone was pulling those radios out and putting aftermarket radios in cause the aftermarket ones sounded 10 times better than the originals. This radio reminds me of that time, it sounds better, has modern electronic capabilities in the Ipod, MP3 and cd connection and, to top it off, looks surprising like the original radio sitting in the dash. I even used the original factory face plate.

Mike

Did you guys ever get your convertible finished and test the radio?

I am in the market for a radio for my 67 SS and would like an orginal look.

Please pm me a price shipped to 07442.

Thanks

Derek

DerekI ended trading the radio off to a local customer. The reason I did it was because I really wanted an original radio for the numbers matching vert and was able to trade to get a correct radio for the car. I have heard from several customers sound is good, just learning all the functions can be trying since the 2 knobs do so much.

It looks nice, but no way that's 45w x 4 RMS. There's no where near enough surface area for heatsink. 45W PEAK maybe.

I would think about getting one if it had the original type Am/Fm switch that the 68's had. For that money I would like it to look just like my original that I tossed out 20 years ago:clonk:. Also I would think that they would have a line level output as well as in.

Do I have to specify that when order, or is it just a switch to toggle?
