New radio with factory look

Hi guys.
Im quite new to the site (been lurking for a while)

So I want to put in a new radio, but I want one that will fit in to the original dash. Had a look at RetroSound, but they seem to be a bit limited if you want to expand the speaker system. Im not going to build any "monster, wake up the neighbourhood" system. But would like to add a bit more punch than you would get out of the original "4 in the corners" system:-)

Anyone here that has some experience with these "retro/factory look" radios, and could give me some pointers?

Re: New radio with factory look

I have a Retro Sound stereo in my truck and love it. The rear auxiliary input takes care of my XM radio, the USB input eliminates the need for carrying around CD's.

Yea thatīs one of the things I like about it too. I hate having CDīs rattling around in the car.
What I miss on it is RCA, I had a look on RetroSound web page and apparantly they will soon have an ugraded version.

You are right S10Fan, I missed that when I looked at it before. Think I will order one.
Thanks!
