Just curios if anybody on the list has installed any one of the =
RetroSound radios that Moss has been selling? I am wondering how it fit? =
Did it the adapter plate look OK? How does the radio perform? I am =
looking at the Model 2 with the bluetooth interface..
I was also looking at going with getting my (not currently working) =
Triumph AM radio converted to AM/FM USB/BlueTooth but it looks like that =
is about $500.00. The up side there is that the radio would appear =
stock..
Thanks,
Dave Connitt

I recently installed a RetroSound Zuma unit in my Mk2 Jaguar and have 
been very happy with it.  As noted by others, it fits readily in cramped 
spaces, sounds good, and looks "right" in a vintage car. I also like the 
fact that the controls are all via two analog knobs rather than dozens 
of tiny buttons.

I have installed one in Chris=E2=80=99 TR6 and am just finishing up the =
install in my TR4. The unit operates great and the limiting factor is =
likely the speakers. I got the black knobs with silver bezels and the =
look matches the original radio that came in my 1962 TR4. On the 6, i =
trimmed the Triumph bezel and it looked fine. After many install/remove =
sessions to get  the distance just right, I forgot to include the =
faceplate bezel on the final fit. I did not feel like taking it out =
again at this point and the look without the bezel is OK too.

Original TR4 radio

RetroSound radio

Because the TR4 originally had a single speaker under the dash in the =
passenger footwell, I installed a RetroSound Dual Voice Coil speaker in =
the speaker enclosure

and restored the speaker box and enclosure.

I also took the opportunity to add an Advanced AutoWire auxiliary =
fuse/relay panel to power the radio.
