Update on the retro sound stereo I just put in the car. The radio comes in extremely clear even though I don't have an antenna. It is plugged into the antenna cable.

Hi dads2vette,
Looks like you have had your RetroSound stereo installed for a couple a couple years and wondering how you feel about it?

I've had my RetroSound radio for 2 years now. It's a big disappointment. After cruising for awhile the stations start to fade out and the Bluetooth feature doesn't work right. 
The antenna is new and I even have a micro fan wired in so it helps cool the radio and amp unit. Chinese crap imo.

That's disappointing as I was thinking of going that direction.  Maybe I'll just send my factory radio out to be overhauled.

I gave up on the stereo idea and went with the Bose soundlink mini bluetooth speaker for $129
 no installation what so ever and I can remove it from the vette and listen it to it outside by the pool. I play my music from my iphone no problem and it sounds great ..

and yes that big glass door opens up fully to drive the vette out




There's nothing better in life then a Vette Smile
