Product Description
Studebaker built distinctive cars until 1966, and they are loved by collectors today. This KHE-300-USB with Bluetooth by Ken Harrison is the Studebaker version, made to keep a classic look in the dash while adding modern features.
Fit and Ordering
Our listing identifies this KHE-300 as the Studebaker version. Contact us with your year before ordering to confirm fit.
About the Radio
The KHE-300 is a Ken Harrison design that looks like a classic pushbutton radio from the driver's seat. Behind that look are Bluetooth streaming, a front USB port and a mini SD card reader, so you can play your own music without a modern stereo in the dash.
Why a Vehicle-Specific Radio
A universal stereo usually means cutting the dash or using an awkward bracket, and it rarely looks right in a classic. A radio made for your vehicle fits the original opening, keeps the knobs and face where they belong and can be removed later if you ever want to go back to the factory radio.

Listening Your Way
Use the PLL tuner for local stations, then switch to Bluetooth, front USB or the mini SD card reader for your own music.
Electrical Check
Some Studebaker models were built with 6-volt or positive ground systems. The KHE-300 needs 12-volt negative ground, so check your car before installing and contact us if it has not been converted.
Speaker Tips
Good speakers make as much difference as the radio. Many classics have a single dash speaker location, which is where a dual voice coil speaker shines because it carries both stereo channels. Adding a rear pair and using the fader gives you full stereo that fills the cabin.
Getting It Installed
Confirm your vehicle is 12-volt negative ground before installing; that is what the KHE-300 needs. Older 6-volt or positive ground vehicles will need a converter.
Bench test the radio before final mounting, use a fused power source and make a clean ground connection. If you would rather not do the wiring yourself, an auto radio specialist can install it. Vintage Car Radio sells the radio and accessories but does not offer installation.
