I purchased a donor OEM radio and sent it off to be upgraded with FM and an audio port for a CD player. The only tell-tell indicator is a LED that's lit when when finding stations. Also, has a lead for an electric antenna. It has full "Fader" and "Balance" functions too. This was 15 years ago to. Now, can probably have it upgrade with Bluetooth.

I purchased a new cas 230 radio to put in my 67 vert ,kick panels with speakers & a new dual voice cone speaker for the dash. I thought it was a piece of useless crap . The sound quality was terrible plus trying to tune it made me want to beat it out of the dash. Then when the speaker wire plug assembley shorted out at the radio connection (still have'nt figured that out)while trying to install it in my just installed console ,I thought my vert was a goner, I was/am convinced it's a piece of crap. The complete line up i don't know about but if mine was their representative I'd say so.

For now i just have an empty spot where one goes. I think i am just going to reinstall my stock am radio to fill the hole & get a remote cd player in the trunk i can load with what i want to hear because i have yet to find a station that plays what i like to hear,plus i don't have to hear the blathering mouths .
Referencing my comments above, I had a CD player in the trunk too. Then removed it after several years. An issue you have to be aware of is vibration. It should be placed on isolation pads or hidden inside a foam box. Also, have a Tube Bass Amp that I no longer use. In a Vert, it does/did a good job of enhancing the sound. I have two rear, two kick panel and a tri-cone dash speaker. It makes good sound.
