About the RetroSound M1B-402-36-96

From our tech experts at CEN

The RetroSound Euro Style Motor 1B (M1B-402-36-96) is an all-black classic car stereo with an AM/FM RDS tuner, Bluetooth 5.0, and an 18W RMS x 4-channel MOSFET amplifier. Its Euro-style faceplate uses classic push-buttons and replica knobs finished entirely in black, with a white display. It is compatible with 12V negative earth vehicles only and requires some assembly.

Who it suits

This suits classic car owners who want modern connectivity — Bluetooth streaming and hands-free calling — behind a period-correct all-black faceplate. It is a good choice if DAB is not a requirement. Browse the RetroSound collection to compare other styles and Motor variants.

Our tech experts advise

The radio body measures 3.96 inches wide by 1.98 inches high by 4.30 inches deep — measure your aperture carefully before ordering. It includes a Bluetooth microphone for hands-free calls and stores up to 30 AM/FM presets. This radio fits 12V negative earth vehicles only; positive earth classics will need an earth conversion first. Fitting is priced per vehicle — see our Nottingham installation page for details.
