Building on the huge success of the USA-630, Custom Autosound created the USA-230.

There's no cassette, but there is an auxiliary audio input, so you can plug in a portable MP3 player or satellite radio tuner and listen through the radio.

- 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.

Tech tips for classic Ford Bronco
- This radio is sold for the factory Ford Bronco opening used in classic 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.
