I've looked at the Retrosound and have seen several posts about it but this one looks more vintage/retro to me. Does anyone have an opinion on it? _________________ David

You are right, that is actually half assed decent looking. No doubt some efforts have been made to improve its VW-ness. Buy it and write us a review on your thoughts and experience. Generally, the reviews that I have read have been average. _________________ *****************

Just ordered one, along with the ipod kit. I'll let you know how it works out.

This one looks wayyyy more period correct--- ( link: http://www.retrosoundusa.com/products/details/id/258 ) I have purchased 3 of their radios over the years, love them all ( have them in my mustangs and bug-- but this one takes the cake for anyone trying to make a radio " period correct " these days ---

I ended up finding an actual vintage radio. It even came out of another '74 bus.
