About RetroSound
RetroSound solves a lovely problem: modern sound in classic cars without butchering the dashboard. Its radios pair period-correct faces, knobs and bezels with thoroughly modern internals — Bluetooth, DAB options, USB and proper power — through an adjustable-shaft design that fits the original radio openings of countless classics. The result looks factory and streams like new.

How to choose a RetroSound radio
Start with the look: pick the style that matches your dashboard, then choose the knob set and face to suit. Next, decide on features. Motor 4 and DAB-equipped models add digital radio, while Motor 1 and Motor 2 units cover Bluetooth and FM/AM. For DAB you will also need a suitable aerial or the DAB1 splitter. Finally, match speakers to the original openings, since RetroSound offers classic sizes such as 4x8 and 4x10. Compare more retro radios or our Blaupunkt classic-styled stereos.
