Slidebar 2 Classic Car Radio—The Best of Both Worlds
The Custom Autosound Slidebar 2 Classic Car Radio is the perfect choice for drivers who love the look of a vintage dashboard but want the convenience of modern technology. Designed to fit directly into your vehicle’s original dash opening, it requires no cutting or modifications, preserving the classic integrity of your car or truck.
What makes the Slidebar truly unique is its working analog slidebar display. Slide the bar to the right, and you reveal a full-featured digital display packed with modern audio capabilities. This blend of style and innovation ensures you can enjoy your favorite music, hands-free calling, and advanced sound options without sacrificing authenticity.
Authentic Design Meets Advanced Technology
The Slidebar features large OEM-style pushbuttons that perfectly match the original aesthetic of your classic car. Its digital display offers seven backlit color options so you can match your dash instrumentation for a seamless appearance.
With 300 watts peak power, the Slidebar delivers plenty of sound output on its own. It also includes four pre-outs and a subwoofer output for those who want to expand their system with amplifiers and subwoofers for richer, more powerful audio.

One of the biggest advantages of this classic car radio is its direct-fit installation. The Slidebar arrives preassembled and ready to install. There’s no need to adjust knob spacing, align shafts, or risk scratching your dash during assembly.
For a professional finish and optimal sound performance, we recommend our car audio/video installation services. This ensures the wiring, speaker placement, and any amplifier integration are handled with expert care.
Perfect Upgrade for Audio Enthusiasts
While the Slidebar is powerful on its own, adding a 4-channel or 5-channel amplifier can significantly boost your system’s clarity and depth. The built-in pre-out also allows you to integrate a subwoofer for deep, punchy bass.
Pairing your new radio with upgraded speakers will help you make the most of its 300 watts of peak power. And if you want to protect your vehicle’s interior while enhancing comfort, consider a professional window tint.
