App-page-hand-ford-500

There’s something timeless about a classic car - the lines, the sound, the feeling. But when it comes to technology, even the most vintage ride deserves a modern upgrade. Enter the RetroSound Radio Control App: a free, powerful companion that transforms how you interact with your vehicle’s audio system.

Designed specifically for RetroSound radios equipped with the latest Motor 4HD and Motor 4DAB platforms, this app bridges the gap between nostalgic style and cutting-edge convenience - putting total control right in the palm of your hand.

Video: A Smarter Way to Control Your Sound

 

Gone are the days of leaning over dashboards or fumbling with tiny knobs. With the RetroSound app, your smartphone becomes your command center.

Using a simple Bluetooth connection, the app lets you:

    • Switch between AM, FM, Bluetooth, USB, AUX, and SiriusXM sources
    • Adjust volume and fine-tune your listening experience
    • Access presets and tune stations instantly
    • Control everything without ever touching the radio itself

Whether you’re cruising down the highway or parked at a show, it’s a smoother, more intuitive way to stay in control.

Built for Classic Cars (and Real-World Use)

Let’s be honest—classic car interiors weren’t designed with modern ergonomics in mind. Radios can be low, tight, or just plain hard to reach.

That’s exactly where this app shines.

The RetroSound Radio Control App was created to make setup and daily adjustments easier - especially in vehicles where accessing the head unit isn’t always convenient.

Translation: less hassle, more driving.

Dial In Your Perfect Sound

This isn’t just a remote - it’s a full-featured audio control suite.

From your phone, you can:

    • Customize equalizer settings for your ideal sound profile
    • Adjust crossover and subwoofer controls
    • Toggle DSP presets like Classic, Rock, Pop, or Off
    • Fine-tune advanced audio settings without digging through menus

Whether you want crisp highs, deep bass, or something in between, your system adapts instantly.

Customize the Look to Match Your Ride

Classic cars are all about style - and your radio should match.

With the app, you can:

    • Change display color and brightness
    • Select different radio face styles
    • Match your radio illumination to your interior for a seamless look

 

 

Fast Setup. Seamless Experience.

Getting started is refreshingly simple:

  1. Download the free app
  2. Pair your phone via Bluetooth
  3. Start controlling and customizing

Once connected, your phone will automatically reconnect whenever Bluetooth is active—so your setup is always ready to go.

Do You Need the App?

Here’s the best part: it’s completely optional.

Your RetroSound radio still works perfectly with traditional controls. The app simply adds a faster, more convenient way to access everything - especially advanced features. 

Think of it as a FREE upgrade, not a requirement.

Compatibility Matters

Before you download, there’s one key detail:

The RetroSound Radio Control App works only with radios powered by the latest Motor 4HD or Motor 4DAB platforms. Older motor versions are not supported.

If you’re running the newest RetroSound hardware, you’re ready to go.

Classic Looks. Modern Control.

 

RetroSound fingertips

RetroSound has built a reputation on blending vintage aesthetics with modern performance - and this app takes that philosophy even further.

It’s not just about convenience. It’s about enhancing the entire driving experience:

    • Cleaner installs
    • Easier adjustments
    • More personalized sound
    • And a seamless connection between driver and machine

Because your classic deserves more than just a great look - it deserves a smarter way to drive.
