Product Description
The USA-630 is continuing to evolve in Custom Autosound’s quest for the perfect classic car radio. This radio has large OEM style push-buttons that give a perfect look in a classic dash. Although it looks classic it has the latest modern features that include an iPod doc. Navigation for the iPOD includes artist/song/album/playlist all from the buttons on the radio. A great feature so you can keep the iPod hidden away in your glove box or console. The USB input is still there on the back of the radio and allows you to plug in a USB flash drive for playback of MP3/WMA song files. The new alpha numeric display shows the song/artist/album titles during playback of flash drive (thumb drive), iPod files and RDS radio station information. As an option you can get Bluetooth music streaming from your Bluetooth capable phone or Bluetooth compatible player with the BLUKIT. The radio can even advance the songs on your phone buy using the track up button on the radio. It will also mute the music while to take a hands free phone call through the radio. With 300 watts peak the radio should have all the power you may need, if you want more there are four pre-outs jacks on the back of the radio for optional amplifiers. The back of the radio also has auxiliary audio input for satellite radio or any portable player you may wish to use.
Neither Was Your Car.
It took time to build your classic 1965 Chevy Impala, and it isn't complete until you install the USA-630. It has everything your Impala wants: quality parts, great audio and ease of use.
It's What Your Impala Is Waiting For
Look over the features of the Custom Autosound USA-630 and it's easy to see why it's the radio for your muscle car. Start with the power: 300 watts, so everyone hears every note and every word.
A power antenna lead and the RDS electronic tuner bring in your 16 AM/FM presets (12 FM, 4 AM) with ease.
With the digital EQ and volume, bass, treble and balance controls, you can fine-tune your sound to be second to none.
If you can't remember who's singing, the RDS tuner shows the artist and song. And if radio isn't enough, the USA-630 also controls a CD changer and plays iPod, MP3 and WMA music.
To top it off, there are 2-channel aux inputs, 4-channel RCA pre-outs and a 4-way fader, plus a built-in digital clock.

Suggested order for a 1965 Impala
- Disconnect the vehicle battery before any wiring.
- Connect ground first, then constant (yellow) and ignition (red).
- Connect the antenna plug and the blue power-antenna lead if your car has a power antenna.
- Wire all four speakers, matching polarity.
- If using an amplifier, run RCA cables from the front/rear (and sub on USA-740/USA-850) pre-outs.
- Reconnect the battery and test radio, speakers, and charging system voltage.
Tech tips for 1965 Impala
- This radio is sold for the factory Impala opening used in 1965 models—do not cut a modern DIN rectangle if you want a stock look.
- A poor ground is the most common cause of whine or weak audio; scrape paint at the ground point and use a star washer.
- If AM reception is weak, check the antenna mast, cable continuity, and that the antenna plug is fully seated.
- Vintage Car Radio does not install radios. If you are not comfortable with 12V wiring, use a qualified installer.
