Does anyone have a suggestion for a brand of radio for my 68 C3? I'd like am/fm with USB port for thumb drive music. Ideally, bluetooth for music streaming, but I can get along without that.

I went with RetroSound a few years back for my '81. Fit very nice and almost looks original IMO. Their newest models have everything you are looking for I believe.

Why not send your original radio out and have it restored with upgrades you want installed.

Regardless of what you choose, find something which fits the stock bezel without cutting. 68 bezels are one year only and can get expensive if you need one.

You could always add one of these for bluetooth...

I don't have the original. I'm replacing a replacement. :-)

My thoughts, exactly.

Don't buy KHE they are junk!

Before you buy check the reviews on the forum. I ended up buying a 69 bezel for $26 dollars shipped. I fixed it, the top was snapped as normal, and got some gauges with it too. It was already din cut. I just put mu 68 bezel away.

I got a nice alpine with all the bells and whistles for $200

I used the Retrosound. Mine doesn't have Bluetooth as it came out just after I bought it.

I read a lot of reviews about issues regarding wiring so I did my best to isolate the installation. Power and Ground both go direct to the battery.

Power on uses the dash wiring but to fire a relay that gets its power from the battery.

Tell me more about your "GO" light next to the water temp gauge!

I have a power cut off wired into the system. If the lights not lit, the car wont start. It will crank but thats it. Anyone trying to steal it will just kill the battery. The lights there to remind me that the switch is off. I tried to fit "yippy-ki-yay in ther but it wouldn't fit
