Anyone have any luck finding a modern replacement radio that fits the stock hole or at least doesn't require cutting the dash to pieces?
What car are you working on? Year, trim level, Reason I ask is I have a decent 67 Dart GT face plate that had been cut open for a modern (in the 70s/80s) 2 post radio If you have an unmolested and intact same and would want to trade I would be up for it. PM if interested.
I agree in the retro fitters as your best option, I think Classic and the like also sell radios that fit into the openings without cutting.

I put a Retrosound radio into my 65 Dart. It works ok but if I had to do it over again I'd have had the original radio retrofitted. There are many companies who add Aux input and bluetooth. That's all I need.
Think that just may be what Ill do. A little more research 1st.ThankksHave your stock radio retrofitted . If you don't have an original put out an ISO on this forum . someone has one reasonable .
Do you have information how to do it or who can do it?After reading many bad reviews on the retrosound radios, I decided to bluetooth my original AM radio. Cost less than $20 and looks completely stock.
No you cant play cd's or listen to the radio but honestly I only use bluetooth in all my vehicles anymore. I have 12,000 Mp3's on my phone so music selection is not a problem.
I started a thread on here titled “Bluetooth Stereo”. another option using a small Bluetooth amplifier that doesn’t involve modifying a radio.
So it’s completely independent from the radio .. interesting

Here is the module I used. Put it in a stock AM radio and integrated the original radio buttons to work the bluetooth module.

I also added a amplifier module so none of the original radio electronics are used. It pumps a pair of 6x9's and the dash speaker pretty good.
If you really wanted to you can install a radio module too. No good radio stations around here anymore so I didnt bother. I hooked the bluetooth antenna to the cars antenna, it has good range.
