Retrosound Radio for the Volvo P1800

Views: 106

The current owner of the Volvo P1800 is very proud of the radio he installed in the car. It looks classic, retro or vintage, but it is actually a modern radio from Retrosound with USB and Bluetooth built in.

It does looks simple, but that’s the whole point of it.

I tried google search for this product and found s similar (except the LCD got 5-6-8-10-12-14-16 printed wordings) if not exactly the same one at ebay. Not cheap at US$658.23 (RM2700) before shipping. I definitely won’t spend so much money on a car radio myself. Good that the owner has installed it.
