Everyone who cut their dash (like me), now wishes they would have waited. Oh well.. Patch panel time when she gets new paint!

That is a sweet unit.

That's awesome -- Plays directly from a flash drive too!!!

Ya, they are retrosound brand, here is the website- http://www.retrosoundusa.com/products/details/id/9

I was asking about these about a month ago in another thread, I think I'll be trying it.

[special-K]

This is good for those with no radio and an uncut dash.I`m going with converting a stock radio with the same capabilities.

[Sicmaro]

has anyone bought one?? i think i may order one.....

[Ace in the hole]

I'm going to try one but it will be a month yet before I order one

[luvmtrks4366]

I wonder how they sound. I don't have a radio, but will in the future.

[semperfidoordie]

that'd be perfect for me cause I don't have a radio either just the gaping hole haha about time we get some kind of nifty upgrades

[blazer72]

heck of a lot cheaper than the custom autosound radios. All these options would cost 3 or 4 hundred in those. I remember when you could get these at Walmart for $25.

[santana474]

I have been looking at these for a month or so now. But due to other necessary parts (trans, driveshaft, brakes, radiator) I have to wait till Christmas and hope Santa brings it LOL

Someone needs to buy one and report back with their impressions.

[Longhorn Man]

if you want to play CDs, then you're in it for $400 bucks before you get out the door.
Just so no one thinks this is a cost effective way of listeneing to tunes.

[Sicmaro]

I have all my tunes on my ipod!!! so this if perfect.

I don't know that I would necessarily use their CD changer anyhow. There are plenty of high end ones on the market from very reputable companies.
But you are right. Cutting the dash is cheaper - but if you want to leave it alone...

[Jim_PA]

What are these so-called CD's that you speak of?

[matt_field]

i just bought one, their instructions absolutly suck, and im wondering how you mount this thing under the dash of a truck that has no radio bracktry? other than that it looks like a nice radio

[Orange]

Mounts off the knob posts perhaps? That's how a lot of the older ones do it.

[68gmsee]

If the radio is fairly light in weight, like most of the new elctronic radios, and if you can actually do it, the dash metal should hold in place.

However, the older style heavier radios had a bracket towards the rear that held it in place. I've installed my old style radio both ways -with and without the bracket -and it held pretty well.

Just orded one last night from jegs, hope it gets here soon.

If you do not have a set of quality speakers, it will not sound good at all. This goes for EVERY radio.

[semperfidoordie]

so..the truck i'm buying doesn't have any kick panel speakers and the current owner doesn't know if the stock dash speaker works cause it doesn't have a radio in it. any good links to kick panel speaker builds?

[clay68c10]

I'd like to see some pics when someone gets one of these installed.
