Preparing to Install Your Unit (Continued)
Below, The final result!:
67-72 GM Truck bezel shown installed in the vehicle’s dash, note that the radio face is flush with the bezel in the
dash for a professional looking installation. Getting the unit to fit perfectly into your dash is probably the most
difficult portion of the install. Patience and persistence is the key. If you still have problems, please send us an
email at [email protected] or give us a call at: 909-364-1372.
If you still have difficulties during your installation, we strongly recommend that you take your vehicle to a high
quality car audio installation shop or classic car specialist.

with Chrome dash bezel and Model One C w/ Chrome Control Face
Note: One of the biggest questions we get is "how can your radio fit my car" ? Since our radio is
essentially a universal solution, (one chassis for most vehicles) our radio's control face is a fixed
size (3.5" W x 1.5" H). Most American cars fit the OE radio from behind the dash and they require a
"bezel", meaning this bezel fits around our radio's control face to fill your original factory opening
for our radio.
Now the Control face of our radio is NOT referred to as a "faceplate" a faceplate is something that
overlays or covers the top or front of the dash.
A faceplate is used in most European (German, British, Japanese) cars, and can also be used if
your dash has been modified to cover up any blemishes or poorly made modifications. Our flat
Euro style faceplates are perfect for covering those unsightly modifications to make them look
close to original. We also have a 3.5” H x 9”W Universal plate you can trim and cut to get the
desired appearance.
