Before I dig into it, what steps are required to remove the stock stereo from the dash?
Is it just Dash trim and then A/C ducting under the dash?
-
knobs, dash bezel, nuts, support in the back ,antenna and cables. Push AC duct out of the way and it drops right out. What year is it?
-
It's a '79
-
Watch your bloody hands and fingers... There is a lot of sharp metal and stuff to stab you!
-
What are you replacing it with?
-
I'm not replacing it.
I love the factory Delco (?) AM/FM. I am going to remove it, take it apart, clean the pots and other electronics, shine it up and then add a 1/8" input so I can use my Phone/MP3 player with it.
Once I have the input installed I can even connect a mini Bluetooth receiver.

Nice. post your progress and good luck

Sounds impressive! I'd be very interested in doing or having it preformed on my stock radio......take a lot of pics.

On my diesel, I had issues getting it around the pedal brackets.
I don't remember my '79 having pedal brackets in the way, but i did that 5-6 years ago.
Other than that, like Zambonie said, it's pretty straight forward.
Also, technically the plug is a 3.5mm plug. It would convert to approx. 1/8", however the industry term is 3.5mm jack.

Hey - I finally found a write up for the same stereo that I have.

I have already removed mine and cleaned the (many) moving parts, so everything moves freely and no more crackle in the volume knob. So I think I will be doing this mod in the next day or so. Will let you know how it turns out!

bit elder then mine......same principle, i think.......hec ya.....keep it coming

Couldn't wait! Ran out to the shop after dinner and installed the Aux Input to my old Delco. Didn't take too long with the instructions from the thread I linked in my last post. Tested it and it WORKS GREAT!
Tomorrow I will reinstall in the dash and I will mount the input on the wall of the inside of the open area when you open the ashtray. I will remove the ashtray and build some sort of mount that will hold the telephone or iPod, and use the cigarette lighter as a charging source.
My plan is to load my MP3 player full of songs from 1979, so when I roll in my '79, I am IN 1979!
Gotta love the internet for stuff like this!

Ok, how do i connect a bluetooth to mine, i have a plain ac delco am/fm and all i get is fm stations and i need to hear michael savage on my way home from work, he's am stations only.
I was going to by a bluetooth speaker from bestbuy and hang from mirror, but would rather go through my 1977 radio. I installed a killer aftermarket factory replica center dash speaker and it sounds great. No am stations come in, probably because im nowhere near any city.

Once you do that you should be able to use one of these little Bluetooth receivers through that input.

Nevermind, i'm not doing it, once i saw the pics i got scared. Getting the external speaker at bestbuy. Haha, that project sure died fast.

I am NOT an electronics wizard. I found the post I showed you and I just pulled the car stereo and removed the cover. That was easy.
Then I noticed that mine looked exactly like the one in the post, so all the wires were in the same place. All I had to do was locate the GREEN and ORANGE wires that go from the pot to the amp. That was easy.
Then all I had to do was clip them and solder the input inline with them. That was easy.
I am pretty sure if I can do it, a monkey with a soldering iron could too. ;D
-
OR... if you don't want to do all the work, you could just hook up a wired FM modulator. All you have to do with it is plug it in where your antenna goes, then plug the antenna wire into it and feed it power.

Installed and working great. Here is the Aux in mount in the ashtray area.

you might want to check around, we get to hear him on 29.7 on the weekdays. i do miss my 12x8 cause i got to listen to him on the way to work, now im lucky to get to hear him at all
-
I can catch him on am 1360 at 3pm "the talk of connecticut", they have the "listen live" feature. However, when my iphone goes into the sleep mode i have to reset back to home screen and it starts to play again. He doesnt have his own app, nor does his website have the listen live feature. I'm working on other ideas.
Here's a question - my 77 has the original radio set-up, fm stations come in awesome. But not one am station. My wifes 2014 nissan (or any new car) is right next to my truck in the driveway and she gets every am station crystal clear. Why??!!!!
Is there some kind of am converter or booster or something??

i did just get one of these a few days ago. rough wired it in to test it and i do love it the only problem i have is the on off switch i dont want to drill a hole that big so im just going to replace the switch with a rocker switch. now i get to listen to google play on the way to work on the radio. dont know how it will act when i get a phone call, i dont talk on the phone while driving but i dont want it to blow my ears out when it rings (if it even works like that)
-
This thread has inspired me to upgrade my radio too. When I got the truck about 13 years ago from my aunt, it had an AM only in it with a single dash speaker in the center. Back then, I found a "vintage" NOS RCA cassette deck on eBay and installed it with one of the "stereo" replacement speakers for the dash from "the company that shall not be named". I had forgotten how much of a pain these radios are to get in/out.
I'm going with the Retrosound Model 2 with Bluetooth, etc. I have the radio mounted, but still have to hook it all up. Got some 6x9 cab corner speaker brackets in yesterday, and have a couple of better 3 1/2" speakers coming (tomorrow hopefully) to replace the two in the dash. Picked up what appears to be a decent pair of Pioneer 6x9's at Best Buy this weekend for the corner brackets. This should be much better than what I've had all these years...we shall see. :)
-
ok i got the Bluetooth hooked up and everything runs fine. every now and then the Bluetooth will get a crappy connection to my phone but reset the connection it works good. then if i get a call it plays threw the truck speakers and i can talk back and she could hear me fine. i do have a issue when charging. it seams it doesnt want to work with a charger hooked up, might be a safety feature so it doesnt overheat. but it does hold a charge for a good amount of time, charged it for a day when i first got it then havnt since. been using it pretty much everyday
-

Which one did you get?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/311199001031?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
this one. theres a adapter plugged into it in the picture so it has the capability to be both male and female.
(http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/RccAAOSw7ThUfVQe/s-l1600.jpg)
so you can even plug it into a radio or anything that has a aux in port and then connect your phone to it
-
I know you guys are talking about using your factory radio to get aux and Bluetooth, but I tried the retrosound model two and I love it, I get am/fm, 2 aux ports, Bluetooth, and two USB ports. I didn't have to cut my dash and it looks stock if you aren't familiar with the stock radio (http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160330/6298243e5b9643e0aed6fe20e0dedfbd.jpg)

I built a replacement for the ashtray to hold the Ipod (or whatever). Also put a switch on the (always hot) cigarette lighter plug.

Putting the ashtray on a switch wasn't a bad idea. A nice feature to have.

very clean work, looks great
One question how did you mount the aux port like that, I would kind of like to do that also
Sent from my LGUS991 using Tapatalk
-
...how did you mount the aux port like that...
I used a right angle drill to make the hole and before I mounted the stereo I ran the wire up there. You can't see any of it when the ashtray door is closed, which was the purpose of that location. Also only need a short wire to get from the Ipod to the Input.
BTW - Since 2nd Gen Ipod accessories are VERY cheap on Ebay, I bought an Ipod Airclick Remote for about $5 shipped. It is an RF remote so it works about 60ft out. I attached it to the steering wheel, so I can change tunes (or pause or whatever) even if the door of the ashtray is closed.
Also have a second remote mounted to the handlebars of my Kawasaki Nomad. When I ride with tunes, I hang the Ipod on a lanyard around my neck, and use earbuds.

That helped where did you get the female aux input that is threaded, those are a little challenging to find
Sent from my LGUS991 using Tapatalk
-
You HAVE to get the RadioShack 274-246 (also 274246) for this to work. It acts as a normally closed switch as well as an input. In other words, when nothing is plugged into it, the radio signal passes through it to the amp. When something is plugged into it, it closes off the radio signal and replaces it with the input signal.
I got mine on Ebay, $7.50 shipped. Sorry, don't see any available on Ebay now. But somebody has one somewhere... time to use your Google-Fu!

That's fine since I posted last I decided I'm going to do that but instead of an aux I'm going to put in a usb

Thats the retro sound??!!!! Not bad at all, i might have to copy.
-
Retro sound has a few models that are better looking.

Ya that is my retrosound, they offer some different colors like chrome and they offer different knobs. The installation wasn't bad but those infinimount arms are a kind of a pain they are so adjustable that it's hard to get it to fit just right

-
I'll look at the others also. Those knobs look pretty factory. I need both of those chrome adjustment knobs behind the black ones, i think the left is treble/base and the right is fade or something.

I got the chrome adjusters with the retrosound radio and they are not plastic they are solid and heavy, I liked that

just want to give a heads up the charging port on the blutooth thing that i got broke already. i was nice while it lasted but money might be better spent on something that will last
-
All i did was get a $15 blue tooth speaker from wally world, i hang it from rear view mirror, i can hear every station and all my sports teams crystal clear. Oh, and michael savage on the way home from work,,,right through the iphone. Cigarette lighter charges both, when needed. Gives me a nice deep quality sound, like a Bose.
However, i do like to listen to my original stock ac delco radio with the stock new style single dash speaker. But out in the stix, we dont get much for stations, and of course not one am station.

so it might be better since you dont have to charge the unit and you can charge your cell at the same time

What a minute!!! You mean that unit plugs into the lighter and into your phone (aux) and you can hear it through your speakers?? Is that possible?
Duh,,the aux line plugs into the aux on vehicle. Iphone lightning cable plugs into unit. Got it..
-
no, that unit picks up your phones blutooth then the jack plugs into the little gray box i have thats hardwired into the antenna. there are units that will plug into your phone then transmit a fm signal to interfere with the antenna but sometimes even they will have interference

i had one that required batteries and back in the day i had it hooked up to a portable cd player and had it cast to my car stereo.
i would of been a little cheaper if i just went with the second option that i posted but ive had the radio deal cut out before and i didnt want to plug and unplug the phone aux jack every time i left the truck and wear it out. this way nothing except the charger gets plugged in when needed and the phone connect via blutooth
-
On my previous post, i meant Duh to me, not you.
Anyway, i dont have a vehicle aux.
Wow, i did not know those units were available, i will look into those. I have new ideas now.
