About the RetroSound LBY-M1B
From our tech experts at CEN
The RetroSound Liberty Motor 1B (LBY-M1B) is a black and chrome classic-style car stereo for vintage Ford, Chevy and GM vehicles with cut or modified dashes. It features an AM/FM RDS tuner with 30 presets, Bluetooth 5.0 with hands-free calling, and a 4×18W RMS MOSFET amplifier. The modular design requires assembly and is compatible with 12V negative ground vehicles only.
Who it suits
This suits classic American car owners who want a period-correct look with modern connectivity. The push-button styling and chrome finish replicate original factory radio aesthetics. Owners wanting DAB digital radio or USB playback may prefer another model from the RetroSound range.
Our tech experts advise
Confirm your vehicle uses 12V negative ground before ordering, as positive ground systems are not compatible. The radio ships as modular components that require assembly — all hardware is included in the box. A rear-mounted auxiliary input is the only wired source connection; there is no USB port. Professional fitting is priced per vehicle; see our installation service for details.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this stereo fit my car?
A: Most vehicles need a fascia panel, wiring harness and sometimes a steering wheel control interface to fit a new stereo. Contact CEN with your make, model and year and we will confirm the exact installation kit needed, or browse our Connects 2 installation kits.
Q: Does this stereo support Apple CarPlay or Android Auto?
A: Check the Specification tab, which lists smartphone connectivity for each model including whether CarPlay and Android Auto are wired or wireless on that unit.
Q: What is the difference between single DIN and double DIN?
A: DIN refers to the chassis size. Single DIN units are the traditional slim format, while double DIN units are twice the height and typically carry a touchscreen. Your vehicle's dash aperture and fascia kit determine which fits.

A: Yes. CEN offers professional supply and installation from our Nottingham premises, including fascia, wiring and steering control integration. Contact us for a fitted price.

A: It is designed for vintage Ford, Chevy and GM vehicles with cut or modified dashes. Contact CEN with your vehicle details if you would like us to check the fit.
Q: Will the RetroSound Liberty work in a positive earth classic car?
A: No. RetroSound radios are only compatible with 12V negative ground vehicles.
Q: Does the RetroSound Liberty radio need assembly?
