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.

Surprising, i figured they would be cheap china plastic. Thats good that they're quality heavy duty.

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

Take pics - I want to see that!
Since you wanted to see it I'll post it

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.

just found out savage is on google play. you can catch the day before and i dont know how far back but one day i think i listened to a whole week of his show cause i missed it

i did just buy this

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
