The Custom Autosound USA230-68-85 radio is a vintage style radio for classic VWs. The AM/FM radio features a digital tuner and a rear 2 Channel RCA auxiliary input. This radio allows you to listen to the radio, and plug in an external audio play (such as a smart phone or MP3 player with the included 3.5mm to RCA Input Cable) or a satellite radio tuner without having to cut the dash of your car. The Custom Autosound Radio is a 12 volt unit.

The USA230 is the result of over 30 years of refinement in Custom Autosound’s pursuit of the perfect classic car radio. It features large OEM-style push buttons for a factory look while incorporating modern functionality. The included 3.5mm to RCA adapter allows you to connect an external audio player, and an extension can be added to route the cable into the glovebox for a cleaner dash. With 200 watts (4x50), the radio provides ample power for most speakers, but four RCA pre-outs allow for optional amplifier connections.
