Custom Autosound USA- 630 Receiver?

[Dunkin]

Has anyone used one of these in their cars? They are supposed to be made to fit Avanti's with no modifications to dash radio opening. Thanks

Yes… I purchased and installed one in my ‘83 Avanti ‘Everyday Driver’ about four years ago….(replacing a dysfunctional  factory Blaupunkt radio)…The Autosound unit fit my Avanti’s dash with no modifications to the dash… and even plugged into the four factory speaker wiring with little effort…….

Reasonable price… I’m quite happy with this purchase!

mfg, could you give the part number of the specific radio you got? There appear to be numerous models of 630 receivers. My Blaupunkt has died and I am looking for alternatives to repairing, including an upgrade in capability. Also did it easily integrate with the power antennae?

I’ll see if I can read the part # from under dash… I no longer have the packaging…l didn’t use the power antenna connection, as the power antenna was eliminated from my ‘83 before I bought it.

The 630 I got is supposed to be for early Avanti's, it is too small side to side 3 1/2" vs factory 4 1/2". It looks like I would have to make a custom bezel to make it work.

Wow!…Doesn’t seem right… If you purchased it new, I’d think they would take it back and furnish you the correct size…The unit I purchased fit my ‘83 Avanti with no mods..I was able to perform the entire install through the removable sunglasses opening at top center of dash.

I am working on it; this radio is supposed to be the one for 63-64's.
