Product Description
The 1968-69 Plymouth Road Runner was built to be a no-nonsense performance car, and many owners keep the interior close to stock even when the drivetrain gets updated. That makes choosing a radio tricky. This KHE Kenwood AM-FM/CD with Bluetooth, set up for the 1968-69 Road Runner, gives you modern playback in a package intended for the Road Runner dash.
Features
The listing describes this Kenwood-based unit with the following features:
- 200 watts with a MOSFET power amplifier
- CD playback, including CD-R and CD-RW discs
- Random and repeat play
- CD changer control
- Rear pre-outs
- Bass, mid and treble tone controls
- Loudness control
- Front/rear fader
- 24 presets with automatic memory entry
- Seek tuning
- Detachable face
- Clock
- Green or red backlight
- Remote control
As the title notes, this version includes Bluetooth, so you can stream music from your phone in addition to playing CDs and listening to the radio.
Sound Controls That Make a Difference
Muscle car interiors are loud, with exhaust, wind and tire noise all competing with the music. Separate bass, mid and treble controls, plus a loudness control, help you shape the sound so it stays clear at highway speeds. The MOSFET amplifier provides plenty of power for four speakers, and the rear pre-outs let you add an amplifier if you want even more.
Choose Your Backlight
The unit is offered with a green or red backlight. Many owners match the backlight to the gauge lighting or the overall look of the dash at night.
Build Out the System
The options on this page make it easy to add speakers and an antenna in the same order. You can add a front dual voice coil speaker, which plays both stereo channels through a single dash speaker, a rear 6x9 speaker pair (choose the Custom Autosound 6x9 pair or an upgraded Pioneer pair), and a hideaway antenna that avoids drilling a fender for a mast. With a good set of speakers, the Road Runner's cabin can sound far better than it ever did from the factory.
Practical Touches
The detachable face helps discourage theft when the car is parked at a show or cruise night, and the remote control is handy for passengers. The automatic memory entry feature stores strong local stations quickly, which is useful when you are traveling to an event out of town.
Before You Install
Confirm the car is wired for 12-volt negative ground and inspect the wiring behind the dash, repairing any brittle insulation or old splices. Use a fused power source and a solid ground. If you are not comfortable working with automotive wiring, a qualified auto sound shop can install the radio. Vintage Car Radio sells the radio and accessories but does not offer installation.
