What is a RediRad™?

RediRad™ is short for "Rediscover Radio". Simply put, the RediRad™ allows new music media technology (such as MP-3, CD or cassette tape players, or even satellite radio) to be played in older vehicle radios. It works on the AM band of any 12 volt analog AM or AM/FM radio without drilling or altering your vehicle or vehicle’s factory radio. It is time to rediscover your original radio!

Why RediRad™?

  • Older cars and trucks retain their value when the original factory radio remains intact and functional. The RediRad™ allows you to listen to your favorite music without spending hundreds of dollars on conversions or aftermarket replacements that may devalue your vehicle.
  • The RediRad™ gets the signal through with a coaxial cable directly to your radio, which means the sound is as clear as the original radio’s capabilities allows. The majority of other radio adapters available today wirelessly redirect the signal to the fender antenna causing interference and poor sound quality.
  • The RediRad™’s compact size allows it to be easily hidden under the dash where it goes undetected; aftermarket equipment is much more desirable to thieves.

What portable music players can I use with the RediRad™?

Is RediRad™ Easy to Install?

RediRad™ installs easily with only four simple steps:

  1. Connect the red wire to an accessory power terminal on the fuse panel, and the black wire next to it to the back side of the dashboard or radio chassis.
  2. Plug the antenna lead into your RediRad™.
  3. Plug the antenna lead from the RediRad™ into your radio.
  4. Plug the 1/8 Inch male audio cord into your portable player’s headphone socket.

Most customers install their RediRad™ behind the dashboard where nobody can see it. For detailed instructions, see our Installation page.

How Does RediRad™ Work?

When the RediRad it is not in use the radio is fully functional. Once the RediRad™ is installed properly, simply turn on the radio and tune it to 1000 AM. Next, plug the RediRad™ cable into the headphone socket of your portable music player and press play. The RediRad™ circuitry senses the music and ignores all signals from the antenna, putting your music first. There is no competition from any stations whatsoever. Back to Questions
