1971-72 Chevelle AM/FM/Bluetooth Radio

Description

Rare AM/FM factory option!

Our 1971-72 Chevelle radios are designed to look, fit, and feel just like the original AM/FM radio. Behind the dash, the radio case is only 4.5” deep, allowing room for air conditioning and other options. The AM/FM ‘roll over’ type dial looks and works exactly like the original and the AM/FM band is selected by using the slide bar. This radio does not have a digital display.

When the radio is powered on, the dial pointer, knobs, and pushbuttons all move and work like the original. Every radio comes equipped with Bluetooth® for wireless audio streaming and hands-free phone control. Other features include a 3.5mm auxiliary port to plug in any compatible device, such as an MP3 player, a CD player, or an updated cassette/8 track player, as well as another input jack specifically designed to work with our foot control switch. Each radio comes with a 12 ½” 12 wire harness with male and female connections for easy connection/disconnection. This harness includes power, ground, a 12-volt output wire (for options like a power antenna or amplifier remote connection), 4 speaker connections, and dial lights. The radio also has 4 channel RCA outputs for an external amplifier and a subwoofer RCA output. Please see the links below for more information.
