1968-1969 Plymouth Valiant radio is designed to look, fit, and feel like the original. This thumbwheel-style radio fits and mounts exactly like the original; no modifications are needed! For the 1968 Plymouth Valiant with Rallye dash, please see model #673105BT.
Behind the dash, the radio case is only 3.57” deep, allowing room for air conditioning and other options. The AM/FM dial scale is an exact copy of the original and the AM/FM band is selected by using the right thumbwheel. This radio does not have a digital display.
When the radio is powered on, the dial pointer, thumbwheels, and pushbuttons all move and work like the original. Every radio comes equipped with Bluetooth® for wireless audio streaming and hands-free phone control. Other features include a 3.5mm auxiliary port to plug in any compatible device, such as an MP3 player, a CD player, or an updated cassette/8 track player, as well as another input jack specifically designed to work with our foot control switch. Each radio comes with a 12 ½” 12 wire harness with male and female connections for easy connection/disconnection. This harness includes power, ground, a 12-volt output wire (for options like a power antenna or amplifier remote connection), 4 speaker connections, and dial lights. The radio also has 4 channel RCA outputs for an external amplifier and a subwoofer RCA output. Please see the links below for more information.
