Replacing Radio

[kstevens17]

I have a Concertone ZX600 in a 5th wheel wildcat that went bad. Can anyone suggest a replacement radio that is at a good price that will match all wiring so that I do not need to spend a lot of money installing it? I checked on line and it sounds that more than a few has had this problem.

The Jensen units are made to fit the exact same hole as the Concertone and they have an electrical adaptor to make the wiring plug and play.

I did have splice the connectors in the schematics are online so it easy the stereo was only 107$ on sale . Many times better than the concerttone
I used a piece of oak lament flooring to fill the hole let me know if you want pic's?

Other thoughts:
- NOAA weather radio channels.
- connections for four speakers and a subwoofer.
- front panel connections for USB stick, IPOD.
Indeed, the car unit I used has all of those and cost well under $100.
Since there is room left on that panel you built and stained to match, you can add a 12v power outlet, AC and DC voltmeters, Velcro patches for the TV remote and the IPOD and a hook for the cork puller.

Both have went up in price since i bought them on black Friday.
the main thing you will need is a head phone output on the TV to plug the transmitter in.

Try checking rv surplus stores, here in sw MI we have Bontragers surplus and Johnsons surplus
I don't remember the names but there also are some in Elkart,IN. I believe they all are on ebay, so you might be able to get an exact replacement.

Concertone web site lists new and refurbished units for sale. Or if your a handy woodworker a piece of 1/4 inch oak plywood Stained to match your interior colors and glued in place will cover the existing large hole. Then going to a web site like Crutchfield.com and start nosing around looking for a replacement radio to your liking. Several years ago Alpine offered a neat package head unit, TV tuner,amplifier, but it is no longer offered.

I would say any good quality car stero should work.... just get the features you want. That's all mine is!
