Product Description
The Ken Harrison KHE-300-USB for the 1968 Pontiac Bonneville puts a modern stereo with Bluetooth behind a face that suits a full-size Pontiac. The Bonneville was Pontiac's flagship, with a long, wide dash and a cabin built for highway miles, and a radio that can stream from your phone makes those miles much more enjoyable. This version is made for the 1968 Bonneville's factory radio opening, so the dash stays original.

Plenty of Ways to Play Music
Bluetooth is the easy choice for most drivers. Pair a phone once and it connects when you start the car. A flash drive in the front USB port or a mini SD card in the card reader can hold a whole music library, which is handy on long trips through areas with weak cell service. The rear auxiliary inputs let you hook up a satellite radio tuner or another wired source.
Using the Presets
The six AM and six FM presets sit on extended pushbuttons that are easy to find by feel while you keep your eyes on the road. Tune to a station, then press and hold a button to store it. Seek and auto scan help when you are traveling and do not know the local stations.
Filling a Big Cabin
A 1968 Bonneville has a large interior, and good speakers make a big difference. The options on this page include a front dual voice coil speaker, which carries both stereo channels from a single dash location, and a rear 6x9 speaker pair, either Custom Autosound or upgraded Pioneer, for the package shelf. A hideaway antenna is also offered. The RCA pre-outs let you add an amplifier or subwoofer later.
At Night
The blue illuminated LCD is easy to read after dark and can show the clock or the station frequency.
