am/fm/cd radio?

frank n texas · Post by **frank n texas** » Tue Apr 09, 2013 7:14 am

Can any member tell me which mfg offers a am/fm/cd unit that will fit the 1982 Jeep J-10 dashboard without cutting dash?

Wagonmaster shows they are installing the Alpine CDE-133BT am/fm/iPod,MP3,& advanced Blue tooth units in their restored Wagoneers

Just spoke to Alpine and they are saying to use that unit will require my cutting the dash which I would rather not do...

I would be willing to install a simple am.fm if it will slip right in with no cutting

Thanks for all replies

Most units are not that great, search on ebay for units that fit vw bugs

This is the seller, the $50 unit are the 25 watt unit, not too powerful.

Found the low price item

I've got the pyle, super cheap but has been working for a year and a half no problems (reception is poorer than a digital in my area) look around I found mine for $25 with shipping, maybe Amazon. Not a CD but USB and SD ports sound pretty good, SD cards look kinda like tiny 8 tracks! Plenty loud with just door speakers.

Except for the CD player that you're going to put in it?

I thought you were looking for an AM/FM/CD player? Are you looking for a stock AM/FM/Cassette? I have the one I took out of my 82...

I started out looking for am/fm/cd digital and have discovered finding a new unit that fits dash and is digital is not available with cd..

I have a am/fm radio in the J now I installed when I bought the truck new but it is transistor and long in the tooth..

Now looking for just a new digital am.fm

I have 2 of these in 2 different trucks. I love the SuperTuner, they pull in stations better here in the country. No cutting nessisary. For CDs, I use a walkman style with the cassette adapter, which also plugs into my XM receiver.

LOL Not original radio period.

Jaber radio is a fair piece. 20 year old Transistor technology but decent. Lots of THD.

Found a digital am/fm radio with adjustable shafts and correct size faceplate so will not have to cut the dash...

So there!

I'd go with this one and a remote CD stack

Whoops! I clicked the Ford one (for early Mustangs) which was $214 and pasted the wrong one (different site).

lol! For 600 I would find a dash to cut up.

The slot in the two post dashes isn't big enough for a CD...period. There simply isn't enough hole there without cutting. I ended up with a cheapo AM/FM/Aux radio off ebay several years ago. It works decent enough for as often as I use the truck, plus has an aux in if I want to use my phone/mp3 player. And it still looks reasonably period specific.

Post #35 shows the one I'm running. It's not spectacular but it gets the job done.
