Finally installed rallye bezel and radio !

[65-440]

I decided it was time for a radio in my dart. I searched and found a correct radio for my car, and then my buddy Rick ( owner of Rick's radio restorations ) Modified the internals. The factory AM radio now has AM/FM, aux, USB, Bluetooth and a microphone for phone calls, and looks 100% factory on the outside ! To complete the job I had to bite the bullet and order a new cluster bezel because some time ago someone cut the thumbwheel holes out to accommodate a newer radio unit. The guy who I bought the car from, and restored the car custom made a delete panel w/ Hurst emblem. Very happy with the results ... Here are some before shots ....

Very nice! Couple of questions as I'm considering doing something similar: Where is the USB? How does Bluetooth and the phone microphone get enabled? I bought an original radio for my Duster and I like what you've done...my 12 yr old is smarter on electronics than me lol! I'd like to play music without putting in an aftermarket radio. Thanks!

That's cool for some people, but I wanted the factory look just like the rest of my car ... A modern style radio just doesn't look right .....

Close up .... anybody want a vintage deluxe 4x10? Haha!

Nice I need a new bezel did you get it from BEA?

 

[EL5DEMON340]

I'm guessing you use a remote for the stereo

Got mine from classic industries

Nope, all controls on radio work ! Power / volume wheel also switches modes ...
