RE: What CD player installs in a 65 Satellite

["Gary H." <spigot2039@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

What's an 8-track? ;-)

Going obsolete is probably right, but if you already have CDs it's less time to put in a unit with a CD, (requires no need to make mp3s). But that aftermarket CD/auto player unit also MUST have an aux IN plug to do as you suggest with amp3 player or Ipod/Zune, etc. Don't buy one without that Aux in plug.

There is at least one company making CD/AM/FM units for classic cars listed on the 62-65 vendor's page:

There are also companies that convert your stock looking 65 Satellite radio to am/fm with input aux that you can plug in a portable CD or digital mp3 files player. (On vendor's page too.)

The $300 price restriction may rule those out though.

All of the adapters I've seen require a working FM radio to transmit to, for example:

Most of the aftermarket cd/am/fm units have a detachable face. The key, I assume, is to measure and find a unit that allows installation without cutting up the 65's dash. Some people mount a cd/am/fm unit in the glove box, too. 

My dos pennies.

Let us know what you buy please.

Thanks,
Gary H.
