Classic Car Radio

[nathan_1970]

Has anyone had experience with this radio and putting it into their Bronco? I know it is rectangular, but the PO already cut my dash and they don't carry the Bronco one anyway. This is pretty neat in that it says Ford on it and looks classic with all the new goodies like being able to connect your iphone to it.

Yes, Looks like the one LMC offers.Only thing I dont like is the 'dial' markinks on the window make reading the settings(base,treble,etc)hard to see,for 60year old eyes. Plays good, good customer support.

Good to know, I usually only deal with those kind of adjustments once but it is a good thing to point out. Thanks!

I was thinking the same thing...hopefully someone else knows the answer to that, if not I will keep doing some research and report back.

yes they do have a slight angle ..you need a flat one..i did the sam and ordered a usa 630. but they don't sell the face plate,so I returned it.... they don't sell any faceplate that will fit so you will either need to get one of these http://www.flickr.com/photos/cntstpdrmn/8473180001/in/set-72157632763568649 and modify it.. or I just got this head unit instead that comes with the bezel that matches the rhino liner nice! waiting on the kick panels from bronco hut then it will all go in...... http://www.flickr.com/photos/cntstpdrmn/8473179429/in/set-72157632763568649 It has Bluetooth phone and music streaming plus everything the other one did...but it is built better than the customautosound one..

yup....that's the one I got but It does not come with the face plate. you could always find one.. but for the money I would think It would be included.. I talked to the tech people there and they said they have nothing that will completely fill a single din opening...so I went with retrosound model 2 and they do come with faceplates... plus the usa630 is really cheap looking/feeling. Ford logo is a sticker.. knobs are plastic.. retrosound model 2has nice knobs ,a bunch that you can choose from .. I got ones that look pretty close to the broncos knobs...with the Bluetooth included .......cruchfield is the cheapest place to get one...

Got it, thanks for the review! I will move my search over to the brand you originally mentioned.

Post up what you decide on. Along with the price and the features.

Will do.

My current radio was cutting in and out a decent amount which is why I was looking at replacing it. I looked it over a bit more today and I think i narrowed the issue down to the external equalizer. I removed the equalizer and put everything back together and I will run it awhile and see what happens.

When I do replace it i will reply back and give the stats.

My buddy just put that radio in his 66 mustang. He has been happy with it so far.
