Single-DIN Retro Car Radio With Bluetooth and European Styling
Give your classic car modern audio connectivity while keeping the dashboard’s original character. This retro single-DIN car radio combines understated European styling, large buttons and adjustable illumination with Bluetooth calling, wireless music streaming and digital-media playback.
It’s a practical option for an older interior where a giant touchscreen would look about as subtle as a tablet duct-taped to the heater controls.
Bluetooth Calling and Wireless Music
Connect a compatible smartphone to make hands-free calls through the receiver’s built-in faceplate microphone. Bluetooth A2DP supports wireless audio streaming, including music played through Spotify, Pandora and other compatible phone apps.
These services run on your phone; the supplied specifications do not establish built-in streaming apps, Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.
Retro Appearance With Adjustable Lighting
The clean faceplate, readable LCD and large controls complement many 1980s and 1990s dashboards. Seven selectable illumination colors help coordinate the receiver with the vehicle’s existing instrument lighting.
European styling describes its appearance—not vehicle-specific factory fitment.
USB, MicroSD and Auxiliary Audio Inputs
Choose from several playback sources:
- Bluetooth audio from a compatible smartphone
- USB flash-drive playback
- MicroSD-card playback
- Auxiliary input for an external audio source
- AM/FM radio
Supported file formats and maximum storage capacities were not supplied. Confirm those details before selecting a flash drive or memory card.
$99.89
Type-C Charging for Your Phone
The supplied listing specifies PD 3.0 Type-C charging for compatible devices. Actual charging speed depends on the receiver’s output, cable and connected phone; a maximum charging wattage was not provided.
The Type-C charging connection should not be assumed to support phone mirroring or USB audio.
Four Speaker Channels and External Amplifier Connections
The receiver is advertised with 4 × 60 watts output, front and rear stereo preamp connections, and two subwoofer outputs.
The supplied information does not identify whether the 60-watt figure is maximum or continuous power. Treat it as an advertised rating until a documented RMS specification is available.
Preamp outputs provide an audio signal for compatible external amplifiers or powered subwoofers. They do not directly power passive speakers or an unpowered subwoofer.
Before matching equipment, read our guide to car speaker watts versus RMS power. For a larger system, our amplifier setup guide explains the planning considerations.
Sound Adjustment Controls
Available adjustments include bass, treble, balance, fader, loudness and preset equalizer settings. These controls let you tailor playback to your speaker arrangement and listening preferences.
Start with our daily-driver audio upgrade example when planning improvements beyond the receiver.
AM/FM Radio With 30 Presets
Store up to 18 FM and 12 AM stations. The listing describes selectable regional tuner settings for multiple markets, including the United States and Europe.
Confirm the correct frequency spacing during installation.
Steering-Wheel Control and App Support
The receiver includes a steering-wheel-control interface and advertised smartphone-app control.
Compatibility depends on the vehicle’s control system and the receiver’s requirements. An additional interface may be necessary. The app name, supported operating systems and exact control functions were not supplied.
Single-DIN Fitment
The nominal 7 × 2-inch single-DIN format suits many older dashboard openings, but installation is not universal.
Verify mounting depth, bezel clearance, wiring connections, antenna connection and any factory-amplifier interface. Some vehicles require a dash kit or adapter harness. This stereo head unit is modeled after the Pioneer Heritage Series.
