Does anyone have the new Slidebar radio?
 

Does anyone have this radio? Do you like it? $389 w/Bluetooth. One of the closest looking ones to stock.

The bottom radio is $569

Well if it's like every other Custom Autosound radio I've ever been involved with, it won't be good.

I would certainly get some independent review info before I'd purchase one.

That bottom one is a little different then the top one.

I haven't seen that one before.

I have one like the bottom one and it sounds pretty good considering it only has one speaker.

Steve - I definitely like the bottom one better. How's the quality and appearance compared to the original stock radio?

Looks like I need to save another $290 so I can get the bottom one with the Bluetooth adapter.

I just really want the stock appearance with Bluetooth option.

Good from far but far from good.... I think that applies with the looks here. It mimics the slide bar function of the original, but it looks like cheap aftermarket in appearance when compared to. If stock is what you're after, then nothing less than stock will do! As far as the function of Custom Autosound radios are concerned; some people have problems and some people don't. My Father has one in his 55 Chevy that is flawless. That being said, there's others that should just do monthly leases on them because they trade them in so much.

How's people's luck with the Retrosound units.? The new one has bluetooth and ipod and aux for $399.

I'm very pleased with the quality . . . tuning the stations is a little different . . . when you push a button to " set " a station, it scans back and forth, then stops on the station you were trying to set. Just something to get used to. The unit is only a little over THREE inches deep, which helps with the installation. I bought a single speaker from them also - it sounds pretty good for a single speaker - not at all like the Bose ten speaker system in my car, though !!! LOL

Thanks for the info, I'll keep saving for the mikehagan... style radio and Bluetooth.

Re: Does anyone have the new Slidebar radio?
 

Just a thought ... would it be less money to take an AM or AM-FM radio and have it upgraded? Just a thought:ito:

Re: Does anyone have the new Slidebar radio?
 

I agree. I'm seriously considering this. It's VERY impressive! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdcbrcxlu9w

Look up Gary Tayman radio conversions. He takes stock am radios and converts them to am/fm radio with all new radio parts and guts and has iPod connection, Bluetooth, and it keeps the original am faceplate and all the original buttons and knobs and they work as original. He does am/fm radios too. I had a retro sound for 5 years and really didn't like it at all so I sent my am radio out and has it converted and I am amazed at how nice it is and how good the sound is and it's cheaper than evereybody else at only $385 or so.

Re: Does anyone have the new Slidebar radio?
 

Looked up a Texas vendor, $375 for FM conversion plus $150 for BT....$525 plus shipping. Can also add USB for $25.
Expensive to roll like a BOSS!

Got a slide bar a week ago it functioned but the slide hide part didnt work.
Got a replacement installed today we will see how it goes but at least this one works as it should right now. PG

Re: Does anyone have the new Slidebar radio?
 

The bottom radio is a completely different animal, no junk there. Custom Autosound however = junk.

Re: Does anyone have the new Slidebar radio?
 

It did have to get replaced once because the slide part wasnt working on the first one but I used the replacement over the weekend and it is performing really well. We will see over time if that changes I know there track record is
sketchy. PG

Re: Does anyone have the new Slidebar radio?
 

I've been looking at getting one of these myself. Did you get it with bluetooth? Would you care to share where you purchased it from?

Re: Does anyone have the new Slidebar radio?
 

I got it from my installer who is a high end store at Frank Kent Cadillac Custom Koncepts good people here in West Fort Worth. He suggested them and I had heard of them before. Did there kick panel and under seat stealth's too sounds pretty dang good. Installed with a good amp for about $1200.00 good service too. I didnt get blue tooth however just didnt want it. Thanks PG
