Default Replacement Audio

Just looking for some opinion on the "classic" looking replacement radios which have Bluetooth facility?
Have seen some on the internet and just wondering for a recommendation?
Thanks.

If applicable to the brand you are considering check out the buyer rating verbatims posted at some of the selling sources (Amazon, Crutchfield, J.C Whitney, etc.). I have not looked in 2-3 years but at the time they were very mixed. Depending on your expectations you might want to add an amplifier.

I like mine, its great having bluetooth and hands free calling with a stick shift. Mostly I got it for the classic look

what I’m about to install in my ‘77.
i think it’s understated, not retro/original but also not too garish.
has great functionality and allows flexibility to use your smartphone for entertainment or gps.

Try these guys:

http://www.vintageautoradio.com/

They do not have anything past 1976 available but per their website, if you can find an original radio (eBay would be my choice), looks like they can update it.

You send us your OEM original radio from your American, or imported car and we will install state of the art electronics to provide AM/FM, FM Stereo, auxiliary inputs, (Bluetooth, USB, preamp outputs are optional) with 4 X 45 Watts per speaker output using your original face case and controls!! Radio looks original, but sounds like new!

Contact us at 888 514 3811 / 262 885 1581
Or email us at vintageradio2000@yahoo.com
