Wireless Advice Required.

Our old Hymer is fitted with a terrible JVC cab wireless. It's so old, that Jimmy Young is still presenting Radio 2......one of the only three channels it receives. Also, as soon as the sat nav is plugged in, we get the SLUSH washing machine channel. We have a windscreen powered aerial, (because of the overhanging luton), but even when the old 'rubber duck' aerial was on the roof, (cable lovingly threaded through a large hole bored into the side), it was crap.
And so, we have an old style radio 'slot' in the dash, which sort of limits things a bit, but any advice on a good but not overpriced radio would be most appreciated.

 

I've ordered one of these due to our cab radio being unable or unwilling to pick up radio channels, despite testing with different temporary aerial..

I don't know what dash you have, they do different fascia/blanking plates etc

 

Like most things in life Tootes, don't buy to cheap, you can get them with Bluetooth, USB, Dab and a whole host of other trickery, as long as you buy one of the well known makes you should be fine


Snap Rowley beat me to it

 

Can you get one that plays radio channels??

The same as the Halfords one you have illustrated.....Old school Ducato dash.

 

You will still need a decent aryhole though

 

Does it need to have a Gramaphone !

 

Wireless? Last time I heard that word, my mum was washing clothes in her twin tub washing machine
I'd suggest a trip to Halfords as you can often try before you buy , plus they'll fit your new radio if you want
They've normally got something on 'offer' so you shouldn't need to spend s lot

 

It's s wireless!!! Not s radiogram

 

Obviously it does that as well

 

With the crap that's on the radio nowadays
You may be better of sticking with Jimmy young

 

Aye,
But the modern ones have a Gramaphone too !

 

And an 8 track tape player

 

Christ.... No..
No need to get too fancy !

 

Really?? that would be great!
Right, will pop around to Halfords, and ask them for a wireless/gramophone model. Thanks mate.

 

Our 8 track caught fire last year. Cost me £14.00 in 1974. Nothing lasts these days.

 

Make sure you get spare needles !

 

?????????????? Needles??

 

I still have an 8 track....... Crikey, need to look it up.
Brand new too, made by Philips I think.
Those were the days, eh ?

 

Yes.... Needles.
Those new small silver 78's eat em !

 

Oh yes. Still have my 'Judge Dread' 8 track cassette.
