From our tech experts at CEN

The RetroSound Euro Style Motor 1 DAB (M1-402-36-96) is an all-black classic car stereo with a period-correct faceplate, replica knobs, and push-button controls. It combines DAB/DAB+ and AM/FM RDS tuning with 30 presets, Bluetooth 5.0 hands-free calling, and an 18W RMS x 4 MOSFET amplifier. A fixed white display and auxiliary input complete the feature set.

Who it suits

Our tech experts advise

RetroSound radios use a modular design that requires assembly before fitting; all brackets, harnesses, and fixings are included in the box. Confirm your vehicle runs on 12V negative earth before ordering, as this unit is not compatible with positive earth or 24V systems. Installation is priced per vehicle — speak to our Nottingham team to arrange fitting.
