greghassen Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 (edited) Does anyone know of a radio that fits into a 280z without any modification to the console? I just bought a brand new console and I don't want to cut it to fit an aftermarket radio. It's weak enough to start with.

That front benzel looks really cheap, cheezy. i wonder if i could use the stock 78 benzel that has the built in antenna switch. Anyone have the measurements of the display part of the radio that fits thru the benzel? From the ad its not clear to me how the power antenna is operated. use the remote control only???

The radio face dimensions are 3.5"w x 1.5"H x 1.05"d. I bought mine from Retrosound as they had the latest model ready to ship. http://www.retrosoundusa.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greghassen Posted October 23, 2010 Author Share Posted October 23, 2010 thanks for the measurements. I can work with that now. back in the day they used to make aftermarket radios that fit the stock 78 benzel. I have one in my daily driver. its from the 80's and has a cassette. cheap as hell radio but it looks like factory equipment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have tech data etc for the model one kit that fits the Z. The radio has a lead that controls the antenna. For the best sound I ran the output through an amplifier mounted ubder the passenger seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greghassen Posted October 23, 2010 Author Share Posted October 23, 2010 1.5" x 3.5" is perfect for the stock benzel. I just measured my 78 stock benzel and it should fit like a glove. thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
