Car radio in pinstripe design for Mercedes Benz with DAB+, USB and Bluetooth Retrosound San Diego

The "San Diego" is RetroSound's first car radio with DAB+, Bluetooth hands-free calling, A2DP audio streaming, and Apple iPod/iPhone control. With this single unit, you get the classic design of your vehicle without sacrificing modern digital media. Two USB and two AUX inputs allow you to connect external MP3 storage devices such as an iPhone, iPod, or USB flash drive. The radio comes with a mounting bezel in the Becker pinstripe design and a set of knobs for your classic Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Opel, and other vehicles from the late 1960s and 1970s. Any concerns that installing a RetroSound car radio might jeopardize your historic vehicle registration are unfounded. There is confirmation, with the approval of the entire AKE working group (TÜV SÜD, TÜV Rheinland, TÜV Nord, Dekra, KÜS, GTÜ), stating that the RetroSound "Model Hermosa", "Model Classic" and the RetroSound "San Diego", including vehicle-specific trim and control knobs, may be installed in classic cars with H-plates and will not prevent the issuance of an H-plate!

6-VOLT ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
