Anyone Make Am/fm Radio For Darts???????????????

[duster360]

Does anyone know of a company that makes an FM radio to fit in the stock location in a '67 Dart? Don't want to cut my dash.

Maybe try getting a FM converter from Radio Shack and keep the stock radio in the same place.

I have considered that, but thought I would see if I could find a radio before I took that direction.

You ban look for a factory one, but it will be spendy.

I am still really happy with the work Gary Tayman did on my '62 Lancer's original radio in the early-mid 1990s. He converted it to FM/AM operation with an aux input (originally for a Discman, now used with an iPod), without changing the appearance of the unit at all. The conversion parts he used at that time were rather primitive compared to what he has available to install currently, but as I say, the conversion job he did back then still works just fine. You turn on the radio and it's AM, just like it always was. Flick it off and back on, and you have FM.

Having seen what correct FM/AM for my '73 Dart go for on eBay, I am not going to buy one; I'd rather put the money towards a conversion of the AM unit in the '73, because that way I'll have an iPod plug-in and the capability to drive more than just the single speaker in the dash, and the radio/dash will still look untouched stock.

Other options are this place (I have no experience with them, but they appear to offer a service of adding FM dial markings to converted radios…perhaps Tayman can also do it), or for a totally different approach, this device.

you might try custom auto sound.

Just keep the stock radio as it is, and run a plug for the iPod to an amp. My iPod has an FM receiver, too, if you still listen to that crap.
