feedback sought for Retro Radio's Redondo RS Radio (knob type)
I have the Retrosound Redondo radio in my ‘66 Beetle. The main body is what they call the Motor 2 which I think is the same body as used on the ‘67 Dart radio.
I really like the radio, the sound is really good despite having only a dash speaker. It looks great and I love the ability to have a USB stick with thousands of my favourite songs available to listen to. The Bluetooth hands free for the cellphone is an awesome feature too.
One thing I’ve noticed is that there is a drain on my battery when the radio is off.
I usually disconnect my battery with a disconnect switch under the seat but left it on for a few days and it totally killed the battery.
Reprogramming all the menu settings after the battery has been disconnect is a bit of a pain.
Overall I think it’s a great radio but just be prepared to disconnect your battery when you park your car for more than a day and then spend the time to reprogram all the settings when power is restored.
