Guest Kahuna28 Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Not sure if this has been mentioned before here (I couldn't find it by searching), but I bought this adapter for my stock radio and I can finally listen to my iPod in my Riv!! It's called RediRad and it's a real simple hook up, and it sounds as great. I do not know or in any way get anything from this company, I'm just passing on my experience as FYI. I can finally listen to all my radio programs from the 60's, etc. instead of news or talk radio!!Anyway, it works by bypassing your antenna signal and my radio sounds as good as it ever has. It's not perfect, it is an am radio after all but it fits well with the car and NO PERMANENT modifications to the car, which is what I really wanted. I won't post the link unless it's OK, I kinda feel like this may be taken as spam, but honestly I'm just tickled by it and wanted to share to like minded individuals..(I just reread my post and it does sound like spam, so I will delete if it offends!)

Guest Kahuna28 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Cool, thanx Jim.. RediRad Classic Car AM and FM radio adapter- MP3/Satellite Radio to AM or FM bandCheck out the videos this guy has on the site if you want to see this in action. Like I said I really have never even met this guy, but he's very helpful on the phone, the product is made in the US, and he even gives you a money back guarantee. I have no problem giving him a recommendation from my experience... And I look forward to cruising the Riv with some good tunes!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bb1970 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 That is a very cool product. If I still had the stock radio I'd get one. My car already had a cd player installed. I upgraded it to a stereo with a usb port. I really like using an Ipod or flash drive to access music. I keep a flash drive with about 80 cds on it in my ash tray when not in use. hard to imagine something half the size of a match book could store 1000 songs.

Guest REX STALLION Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Thanks for enlightening me to this product! I have the original Wonderbar radio complete with the foot switch that works really well...but it is AM. This will make a huge difference! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RivNut Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I talked with Matt, president of Brew City Engineering, this morning and found out some other things about the unit. It will also play from satellite radio as long as there's a "line in" port on your receiver, and, if you have a smart phone, you can use the RediRad as a hands free phone. Matt is an ROA member; it's always good business to support fellow members who are helping us keep our classics up to date with modern conveniences.Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kahuna28 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Good to know he's an ROA member, I told him it was going in a Riv but he didn't mention it when I spoke to him. To me this is one of the coolest new products, I love hearing that radio play good tunes again. This will make those trips in the Riv much more enjoyable!!If anyone gets this, post your experiences I'd love to hear them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheezeMan Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 This is an interesting upgrade to the stock radio. Its a 1963 Riv radio completely updated to today's technology, but still has stock appearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobravii Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Thanks for sharing this product!!I've got one on the way :-)I can 't wait to hook it up to my wonderbar radio. This is especially good for me because there aren't any AM radio stations anywhere near where I live. Now I can listen to Fm stations on my AM radio!!

RivNut Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 CobraVIIIf I read your reply correctly, it sounds like you're expecting this product to pull FM stations into your AM radio. From what I've read and been told, the unit cuts out all AM reception which allows you to play music from your IPod, MP3, Smart Phone, or Satellite receiver. It is not an FM converter/reboradcaster and does not receive FM stations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleach Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Best thing about it is that it is "Made in USA"! When's the last time any one see an electronic audio gadget made here?Worth buying for that reason alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
