Description
Fits the Original Dash Opening of 1968-1979 VW Bug or 1971-1972 Super Beetle
The USA-230 1968-1979 VW Bug & 1971-1972 Super Beetle radio is a modern AM/FM radio with a digital tuner and an AUX input. This USA-230 radio is a simple and affordable solution that fits in the original dash location of your vehicle. You don't have to cut your dash and damage the classic, original appearance of your 1968-1979 VW Bug or 1971-1972 Super Beetle.Modern Features Including AM/FM + AUX
The Custom Autosound CAM-VWL-230 has modern features including a digital AM/FM tuner, an AUX input, and 200 Watts of peak power output.
- AM/FM Digital Tuner - An electronic tuner like a modern radio. When you drive and hit bumps or potholes, the station stays put.
- AUX Input - Allows you to plug in your phone, MP3 player, or satellite radio tuner through the AUX input on the back of the radio.
Classic Appearance
The 1968-1979 VW Bug & 1971-1972 Super Beetle USA-230 radio has the features of a modern radio, but it also maintains the classic look of your 1968-1979 VW Bug or 1971-1972 Super Beetle. The last thing you want is something that looks like the Las Vegas strip in the dash of your classic car. This radio has the tuner shafts, push buttons, and the apperance of an old radio even though it's brand new. The USA-230 1968-1979 VW Bug & 1971-1972 Super Beetle radio looks the same as the more expensive, USA-630 model, but it doesn't come with the USB port or the CD changer control.
Pre-Amp Outputs
If you want to add an amplifier, the USA-230 has 4 channel pre-amp outputs which will allow you to add a 4 channel amplifier. Adding an amplifier will significantly improve the sound quality and clarity of your stereo system. If you want to add a 5 channel amplifier to add a subwoofer, most amplifiers now have summing capability. This allows you to install the 5 channel amplifier with only 4 channels of inputs. If you do add a subwoofer, we recommend that adding a bass knob for fast and easy subwoofer level adjustment.
No Assembly Required. Arrives Ready to Install
For installation, the 1968-1979 VW Bug & 1971-1972 Super Beetle USA-230 radio comes out of the box ready to install. You do not have the assemble the radio yourself. The shafts have already been set to fit the stock dash opening and the nose piece is already connected. You don't have to put the radio together, set the knob spacing, set the knob height, test fit, or potentially scratch your dash while assembling the radio for installation.
Because the radio arrives pre-assembled, it makes installation faster and easier. This means you can get back out on the road and drive your classic car sooner and without a headache.
If you are not installing it yourself and instead are paying someone to install it, it's one less hour (or sometimes two) of labor you have to pay for.
Working on classic cars is fun, but we do it so that we can drive them. This radio gets you cruising in less time at a lower total cost so that you can spend more time in your favorite car, listening to your favorite tunes.Our Most Popular Add-On Accessories
- CCS12V-BT - This AUX Bluetooth adapter converts your RCA AUX input to a Bluetooth capable input. You can wirelessly play music from your phone through the USA-230 radio, but it does not support hands-free calling.
- CCS-PSAP - This AUX input port is an auxiliary extension that installs in the cigarette lighter opening of your dash. This allows you to quickly and easily plug and unplug your device from the AUX jack without needing to reach under your dash, glovebox, console, etc. You have a clean installation just like a brand new vehicle, but without cutting additional holes. It comes with a USB port, but it does not ADD a USB port. It is only an extension. The USB functionality is not used.

Do I have to put the radio together?
No. The radio comes out of the box ready to install. The face is attached, and the tuner shafts are already installed and connected to the mother board. The knob spacing is set at the factory and you do not need to do any measuring. The knobs are included and any bezels needed to fit the center opening are included. You do not need to purchase them separately.Where is the AUX input?
The AUX input is located on the back of the radio. It is an RCA jack and the RCA to 3.5mm cable is included with the radio. For convenience, we recommend the Rockford Fosgate PAUX because it provides an extension so that you can easily access the auxiliary input in your dash, usually through the cigarette lighter opening.How do I know if my dash has been modified?
The best way to determine if your dash has been modified is to remove your old radio. Once the radio is removed, it is usually very clear as to whether or not your dash has been cut. If it is a large 7"x2" hole and it isn't a VW or European vehicle, it has likely been cut. For this radio to work, you should see three holes, one for each knob and then a rectangular hole for the nose-piece.What if I get the radio and it doesn't fit?
If your dash has NOT been cut, THIS RADIO WILL FIT. There are instances where a vehicle's dash has been cut and when they cut it, they did a really nice job, making it almost impossible to tell. If this happens, do not worry. We can exchange nose-piece adapters and/or adjust the knob spacing to make the radio work. The only time this becomes difficult is if the dash has been cut to a DIN size opening. But, we have solutions for that too.Does this radio come with a warranty?
Yes. Custom Autosound warranties the radio for 2 years. When you purchase your radio from ClassicCarStereos.com it comes with our 60 Day Advanced Replacement Program.What is the 60 Day Advanced Replacement Program?
If we can determine that your radio is defective and it is within 60 days of the order date, we will send you out a replacement and a return shipping label. Instead of going through the warranty process with Custom Autosound, we will manage the warranty with Custom Autosound on our end. The advanced replacement program saves you the time of shipping the radio back, going through the testing process, then shipping the radio back to you. That is no fun, especially when there are only so many months of the year when car shows take place and it is ideal to drive your classic car. The Advanced Replacement Program is only valid for 60 days after purchase.Why should I buy from ClassicCarStereos.com?
