    Product Description

    Custom Autosound 1957 Chevy Bel Air Slide Bar Radio

    Your car’s sound system is NOT something to be taken for granted. The Slidebar radio for a 1957 Chevy Bel Air from Custom Autosound has been designed to give you the most control over the quality of sound in your classic 1957 Chevy Bel Air, with reference to how loud, crisp and deep it sounds.
     
    Boasting a classic retro sound, the Slidebar radio arrives with all the latest and top features one can expect to find in a classic OEM-fit radio. Among them is a built-in Bluetooth which comes with a microphone for answering calls. But at core this feature allows you to stream music from any Bluetooth compatible device or smart phone.
     
    Worth mentioning is the 300-watts peak power which works to ensure you have all the juice you’ll need. The radio also features a Hi 4Volt, the Subwoofer RCA, and 4Channel RCA Pre-outs for connecting to additional amplifiers.
     
    With the USB input one can plug in a thumb drive or USB flash drive as a playback for MP3, WAV, FLAC, and WMA song files. The rear auxiliary audio input and the front mini-jack auxiliary audio input offer more versatility, with options to connect the radio with an iPod or any other portable music player.
     
    Also featured in the radio system are multiple LCD colors and dimmer controls that can be selected to match the domineering colors of your sound cluster. Speaking of which, the AM/FM RDS will be displaying the tuned in radio station, or the name and artist of the song being played.
     
    For those still hang on collection of music on compact discs, the radio is designed to fully control your CD changer as well.
     
    The USB port, ipod connection and auxiliary input can all be found on the radio’s rear, and it’s all because the design allows the radio to retain its classic retro look.
